Stone: World University and School as Object of Anthropological Inquiry

World University and School as Object of Anthropological Inquiry

I think anthropology, especially with Foucault, hasn't really engaged seriously the idea of 'object' of study, even though its role as an academic discipline, in the university, may make people its object, in the societal process of knowledge generation. But anthropology as a thinking process has always troubled this idea of objectivity and object of knowledge, in a variety of ways, for a long time.

But to conceive of WUaS as a subject for anthropological inquiry, from near its inception, is fascinating, - especially since I'm one key participant-observer-maker. ...

Another book :)
