This essay delineates the role of anthropology within the multidisciplinary realm of educational sciences, starting with recent Italian legislative directives. The primary focus is on how anthropological insights can enrich gender pedagogy. The main objective is to briefly trace the development of gender anthropology, a field recently systematized in Italy, owing in part to the renewed cultural impetus from feminist and LGBTQIA+ movements. Cultural anthropology, since its inception, has sought to decipher the underlying codes of social roles that each of us reproduces in our daily lives. Over the years, anthropological literature has increasingly specialized in analyzing gender relations, recognizing that the diversity of gender has historically led to imbalanced dynamics, resulting in inequality and social injustice. By drawing on anthropological knowledge, it becomes possible to offer educators a deeper and more nuanced perspective, particularly concerning the entrenched gender relations prevalent in our societies for generations. The arguments presented in the essay aim to underscore the potential that anthropology holds for the educational sciences, especially in gender pedagogy, adding to the arsenal of cultural tools in the ongoing battle against sexism and the toxic hierarchies to which we have long been accustomed.
