Author Guidelines

Thank you for choosing to submit your paper to Teaching Anthropology. We accept the following types of articles:

  1. Original articles for peer review (6000-8000 words) that are theoretically orientated and draw on research about wide ranging aspects of teaching, learning and pedagogy to advance theory about pedagogy and education in Anthropology. 

  2. Practice in Action Reports (up to 4000 words) that share examples of teaching practice and other educational activities which can support the development and expansion of pedagogical practice within our community. These submissions are still subject to peer review, but require less engagement with scholarship and theoretical ideas, but should still be structured to make it clear what learning is being shared from personal experience and professional practice that other educators might find useful.

Please contact the editors if you have content for consideration that does not fit these formats.

We also encourage Blog Posts on issues and reflections relevant to teaching anthropology. Please take a look at previous entries at www.teachinganthropology.org/category/blog/ The format is casual academic prose of about 500-600 words. Please email your .docx submission to s.fukuzawa@utoronto.ca along with any copyright protected pictures (as .jpgs) and hyperlinks to websites.  If you do not have any pictures or hyperlinks we will find pictures in the creative commons.

  • Proposed Special issue title
