Human Organization

Human Organization is the journal of the Society for Applied Anthropology and the leading peer reviewed outlet for scholarship in the applied social sciences. The journal advances SfAA's mission through publishing articles that advance, synthesize, and interpret the application of anthropological method and theory to the analysis and solution of practical problems in the contemporary world. Human Organization publishes articles dealing with all areas of applied social science. In addition to those reporting on original research, the journal publishes articles detailing innovative methodological and engaged research practices.

Practicing Anthropology

Practicing Anthropology is a career-oriented publication of the Society for Applied Anthropology. Its overall goals are:

1. to provide a vehicle of communication and source of career information for anthropologists working outside academia

2. to encourage a bridge between practice inside and outside the university 

3. to explore the uses of anthropology in policy research and implementation

4. to serve as a forum for inquiry into the present state and future of anthropology in general.

SfAA News

The goal of SfAA News is to be a rich and vibrant record of the activities of the Society and its members.  Content includes standard fare, such as reports and updates from the Board, committees, and topical interest groups, but also other content that highlights the special nature of the Society and anthropology more broadly.  For example, interviews with important and influential social scientists, activists, and community leaders reports from our members "in the field," and stories of public engagement are all important regular contributions.  We are always open to new content and welcome suggestions for improving the coverage, reach, and visibility of SfAA News.
