Anthropology & Education Quarterly is a peer-reviewed journal that draws on anthropological theories and methods to examine educational processes in and out of schools, in US and international contexts. AEQ encourages submissions of three types of research articles—research-based, reflections from or on the field, and creative. Research-based articles rely primarily on ethnographic research to address immediate problems of practice as well as broad theoretical questions.
