• 5 timers individuell skriftlig skoleeksamen.

Emnet tilbyr en komparativ utforskning av læringsprosesser -og utdannelse i ulike samfunn verden over. Utdanning er faghistorisk sett et av de viktigste kjerneområdene innen antropologi og kulturstudier, ikke minst siden disse fagene er svært opptatt av ulike samfunns kunnskapsproduksjon om seg selv. Således er det en overlapp mellom antropologiens faglige interesse av å forstå og skape kunnskap om ulike samfunn, og disse samfunnenes egen læring -og kunnskapsproduksjon. Emnet begynner derfor med en innføring i ulike kulturvitenskapelige tilnærmingsmåter i studiet av læring og utdanning. Mens en vanlig forståelse av læring og utdannelse er at dette er en prosess som hovedsakelig skjer i våre hoder og sinn mens vi sitter i klasserom, vil emnet granske hvordan læring ikke bare er en kognitiv, men også kulturell og kroppslig prosess. Vi vil deretter diskutere forskjellene og innvirkningene av læring og utdannelse slik den formelt skjer på skoler, og mot den læringen som skjer i uformelle kontekster, som i hjem og hos læremestre, i ulike samfunn.

Et sentralt aspekt ved emnet er å reflektere omkring hvem som har tilgang til utdannelse. Hvilke konsekvenser har det hvis man har tilgang på utdannelse på grunn av ens kjønnsmessige, etniske eller klassemessige bakgrunn? Hva skjer hvis det en lærer om ens egen etniske bakgrunn bryter med ens egen selvoppfatning? Undervisningsspråk kan ha en sterk innvirkning på denne tilgangen, for hva gjør man hvis man ikke forstår hva læreren sier? Analfabetisme hos barn og voksne et stort problem i mange land, som har store sosiale, økonomiske og politiske konsekvenser utover den innvirkningen dette har for enkeltindividets liv. Emnet vil derfor fokusere på arbeidet som gjøres av transnasjonale organisasjoner som FN for å spre tilgangen til kvalitetsutdannelse verden over. I denne sammenhengen inkluderer emnet en kritisk diskusjon av sammenhengene mellom utdannelse og økonomisk utvikling i ulike samfunn. Emnet har følgelig et makroskopisk perspektiv på globale utviklingsprosesser, men vel så viktig er dets mikroskopiske fokus på utdanningens viktighet for sosial mobilitet.

Emnet avsluttes med en diskusjon omkring sammenhengene mellom utdanningens plass i nasjonsbyggingsprosesser, koloniale samfunn, dekolonialiseringsprosesser og urbefolkningers selvhevdelse - og rettigheter.
