Annual Meeting - Society for Applied Anthropology (SfAA)

Good news! You still have time to submit to the Society for Anthropological Sciences (SAS), meeting with the Society for Applied Anthropology (SfAA) in Albuquerque, NM, from March 17 to 21, 2026.

We have gathered some resources for creating and presenting posters at conferences. These resources include examples of past posters presented at AAA or SfAA, as well as websites with additional information on guidelines and advice.

We are pleased to announce that the Society for Anthropological Sciences (SAS) is sponsoring a Student Awards competition, offering a prize for the best student paper that meets rigorous scientific criteria in anthropology. In addition, two awards will be given for outstanding presentations.

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.

Submissions are now open for the 2025 SAS Carol R. Ember Book Prize. This prize recognizes books whose significant theoretical, empirical, or methodological contributions to anthropology embody the mission of SAS to advance the scientific study of human societies.

We seek organized sessions, panels, and roundtables (in-person or online) as well as volunteered papers (in-person or online) and posters (in-person only).

SAS encourages active student participation and facilitates student incorporation into the professional research community.
