ANTHROPOLOGY: Anthropology Comes Home: The Enudring Promise of a Holistic Discipline

Amherst, Massachusetts, USA

Organized by Northeastern Anthropological Association

The theme of the 48th annual meeting is “Anthropology Comes Home: The Enduring Promise of a Holistic Discipline.” North American anthropology today finds itself at a crossroad. Many departments are fissioning into subdisciplines and separate departments, and many newly minted Ph.D.s in anthropology come from graduate programs with only token courses in other subfields....We hope that this conference will – at least in our region – increase the  connections among the subfields and foster a dialog that will serve not only  the discipline but allow us to more effectively work with and communicate our  ideas to those outside of anthropology. While we present a wide variety of topics during the conference, proposals that deal in some way with this year’s theme will be especially favored by the session organizers.
