Seminar “Mapping the field II – Ethnologists, anthropologists and folklorists as educators in various settings”
SIEF Working Group Cultural Perspectives on Education and Learning
Date & Time: Friday October 18th, 2024.
Place: Digital seminar
The SIEF Working Group Cultural Perspectives on Education and Learning welcomed you to its second seminar. The main idea of the seminar was to do a mapping of the field, that time to get a better view of ethnological, anthropological, and folkloristic contributions as educators, both within formal education such as schools, pre-schools and higher education, and within informal education taking place for instance in museums, archives and organizations. We also wanted to take a look at what our involvement in teacher training/teacher education looked like and how it was organized.
The seminar took place on Zoom. It started with a short introduction of the working group. The participants were then given the opportunity to in groups present their own experiences as ethnologists/anthropologists/folklorists as educators within the field of education and learning, with the aim of getting to know each other and sharing experiences and interests. The discussions included questions such as: What did ethnological/anthropological/folkloristic scholars contribute with as educators in higher education and in museums/archives/organizations? What kind of conditions formed the possibilities of being an educator in these fields? How did we use cultural perspectives and ethnological, folkloristic and anthropological research in our role as educators outside our own disciplines?
