Franz Boas, the Arts, Education, and Science

Authors: Alan H McGowan

Abstract: Franz Boas was not only a pioneering anthropologist, becoming known as the “Father of American Anthropology,” but was also a concerned citizen, seeking to use his knowledge and his prominence to improve the society in which he lived. He was deeply concerned with education and thought about ways to improve it. He believed that a well-rounded education included the arts and the sciences, which is why he proposed a plan for New York City’s arts and science establishments, seeking to make them more available to students in the school system.
