I
ngrid Seyer-Ochi is an anthropologist and historian of education whose research and teaching interests focus on urban education; the history of education; families, neighborhoods, and community organizations as educative institutions; and the relationships among school and beyond-school learning contexts. She is particularly interested in the spatial production and organization of cities, neighborhoods, and learning contexts. She applies interdisciplinary perspectives to the study of urban education and socially constructed learning contexts, to break down the divides between academic disciplines, school and "beyond school" learning, youth's schooling and community lives, and "successful" and "less successful" students. Underlying all of her work is an interest in the experiences of socially-constructed and marginalized groups as they interact with multiple social service institutions across structured and segregated landscapes. Her most recent project was an ethnographic and historical study of the structured pathways of opportunity and denial traveled by African American youth from San Francisco's Fillmore neighborhood. Her book, Smart on the Under, Wise to the Streets: Mapping the Landscapes of Urban Youth,is forthcoming. She is also the co-author of a middle-school text on Asian Americans. A former public high school teacher, she brings practical understandings about education and urban schools to her teaching and research.
