ISBN-13: 9789401796057

An Anthropology of Learning: On Nested Frictions in Cultural Ecologies is a thought-provoking book that delves into the complexities of how individuals learn within different cultural contexts. The author explores the concept of nested frictions, which are the tensions and conflicts that arise when different cultural beliefs, values, and practices intersect. Through a series of case studies and theoretical discussions, the book examines how these nested frictions impact the learning process and shape individuals’ identities.

The book also explores the role of power dynamics, social structures, and historical contexts in shaping learning experiences. By analyzing how individuals navigate and negotiate these nested frictions, the author sheds light on the ways in which learning is a dynamic and complex process that is deeply intertwined with cultural, social, and political factors.

An Anthropology of Learning offers a unique perspective on the ways in which individuals learn within cultural ecologies, and provides valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers interested in understanding the complexities of learning in diverse cultural contexts.
