Cognitive anthropology has long been conceptualized as one of the six disciplines of the 'hexagon' encompassing cognitive science, but this integration is hindered by a lack of dialogue by both cognitive scientists and anthropologists.  This roundtable aims to take a step towards stronger linkages by having anthropologists discuss recent work from the cognitive sciences broadly (e.g., neuroscience, psychology, linguistics, AI, philosophy) that is relevant to their work, and that would be of interest to an audience of anthropologists.  Each presenter will briefly introduce an article from the last 10 years, authored by a non-anthropologist, and explain how it informs, or could inform, your work or research in cognitively oriented anthropology.  So, for instance, you might talk about an experimental psychology study, or an empirical paper from cognitive linguistics, or a conceptual advance from the philosophy of mind. We would then be able to have a lively discussion about these studies that can inform and advance anthropological science.

Anthro (or adjacent) friends: I'm developing a roundtable for the @anthrosciences.bsky.social annual meeting (at SfAA, Albuquerque, 03/17-03/21), "Unhexing the Hexagon: Cognitive Anthropologists in Dialogue" where each presenter talks about a new-ish #cogsci paper (not their own) of anthro interest.

We are deeply grateful to the people and organizations in Belize who welcomed us, supported our work, and contributed to the success of this field school.

We especially thank Antonio Novelo for his long-term commitment as our field guide, research assistant, and friend to everyone involved.

Over the past 12 years, this field school has been a transformative experience for American students, Belizean interns, faculty, and community partners.
