In this address, I ask: What do we bring as anthropologists and educators to our work? Two projects frame my arguments: my work with teachers in A ceh, I ndonesia after the 2004 tsunami and my term on a school board in an impoverished U . S . city. I conclude that at a time when challenges are simultaneously local and global, immediate and long term, we must draw from both fields while working for sustainable change and a more just world.
