This special issue of Anthropology Matters frames the canonical question for development anthropologists in reverse.  Instead of asking how anthropological theory might be put into practice in development, it asks how engagements with development policy and practice might transform anthropology.  What kinds of theoretical insights have emerged from the anthropology of development?  What does the overlapping language of anthropology and development mean for ethnographic methodology?  How do relationships between anthropologists and development professionals affect the research process?  What can anthropologists learn from development work?

Recent work exploring student reactions to the anthropology of development highlights the importance of going beyond simply imparting practical skills, or alternatively delivering content that offers an unrelenting critique (Djohari 2011; Handler 2013). In this paper, I argue that by casting an anthropological eye on the classroom, teachers can provide a learning environment in which students transform into reflective ‘novice’ practitioners equipped for lifelong learning. This involves making explicit the processes of knowledge construction in the classroom, and by extension, the development field. It entails providing the resources through which students can become social beings in the development sector, with attention to expanding the possibilities for the formation of multiple identities.
