The Council on Anthropology and Education (CAE) is a section of the American Anthropological Association that was founded in 1968 to advance and stimulate scholarship on schooling in social and cultural contexts and on human learning both inside and outside of schools. CAE members receive the quarterly journal, Anthropology and Education Quarterly.

The two amendments to the CAE By-Laws were approved on May 15, 2007. One is a new Mission and Purpose statement and the other concerns the length of Presidential terms. To see the new By-Laws, go to By-Laws

CAE maintains two listservs. One is designed for all members and the other is designed for students.

The main CAE listserv is a moderated listserv affiliated with H-Net and open to everyone interested in anthropology and education. To subscribe, learn more about the listserv or read recent message, go to CAE page on H-Net.
