Association for Feminist Anthropology
Phoenix, 1988: The meeting room was filled to capacity, mostly women, a few men, many of whose names were associated with the first published efforts to bring, in the beginning, an "anthropology of women" and later a feminist and gendered anthropology to the discipline. These anthropologists, their students, and others like-minded, under the leadership of the AFA's first Chair, Carole Hill, gave a unanimous vote to the establishment of the Association for Feminist Anthropology. The first few years of the AFA saw the establishment of several central themes that continue to form the core of members' interests. The late Sylvia Forman, a founding member of AFA, came up with the idea of "Working Commissions" as a way to organize and link feminist academic and policy work.
Association for Political and Legal Anthropology
The Association for Political and Legal Anthropology (APLA) is a section of the American Anthropological Association (AAA). Its members share interests in issues of contemporary importance in the fields of political and legal anthropology, including nationalism, citizenship, political and legal processes, the state, civil society, colonialism and post-colonial public spheres, multiculturalism, globalism, immigration, refugees, and media politics.

Association of Latina and Latino Anthropologists
The goals of ALLA are to promote research and distribute information on Latinos in the United States. It will stimulate dialogue in academic and other circles about Latino community objectives and realities encouraging respect for indigenous and insider views, encouraging the participation of community leaders, non-academic anthropologists and others, and in the process, provide information to the public about these objectives, and form affiliations and coalition with other professional groups with similar interests.
Folklife Sourcebook: A Directory of Folklife Resources in the United States
The information contained in the Folklife Sourcebook reflects the broad reach of professional folklore and folklife networks and the many allied pursuits and activities involving folklore and folklife studies and programming in the arts and social sciences, public programs, and educational institutions. Because folklife studies have been integrated into a variety of scholarly and public pursuits, the breadth and vitality of the field has sometimes been underestimated or misunderstood. A prominent objective of the first edition in 1986 (prepared by Peter Bartis and Barbara Fertig) was to demonstrate the extent of resources and programs available. Its continuing use by professionals, members of the public, and administrators in government, museums, educational programs and grant-making agencies suggest that it has contributed significantly to the increased public and scholarly participation in and awareness of programs, institutions, and activities linked to cultural conservation.
National Association for the Practice of Anthropology (NAPA): Welcome
Founded in 1983, NAPA strives to promote the practice of anthropology, both within the discipline and among private and public organizations. NAPA continues to grow as anthropologists engaged in practice have developed broader professional opportunities both inside and outside the Academic realm.

To encourage and facilitate greater scholarly communications and collaborations among East Asianist anthropologists working and teaching in various societies within and outside of East Asia.
Society for Humanistic Anthropology
Humanism has historically made the human endeavor the subject of its concerns. Humanistic anthropology seeks to bring the intellectual resources of the discipline to bear upon this subject. While not blind to the constraints within which we humans operate, humanistic anthropology, in the tradition of the discipline, celebrates that human reality is something upon which we creative primates have real feedback effects: we can change our social and natural environment. Accordingly, it recognizes that anthropological inquiry constitutes a part of that work, particularly in promoting multicultural understanding and revealing the social blockages that are deleterious to our social and physical environment.
Society for Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology
The first chapter of SLACA was founded by the American Anthropological Association (AAA) in 1969 to advance the study of Latin American anthropology. In 2005, the Society's membership offically approved the adoption of "Caribbean" to the Society's name to reflect the connections between the Latin American and Caribbean regions. SLACA provides a forum for discussion of current research, scholarly trends, and human rights concerns, as well as a space for interchange among scholars from and who work in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Society for Linguistic Anthropology
Linguistic Anthropology is the comparative study of the ways in which language shapes social life. It explores the many ways in which practices of language use shape patterns of communication, formulate categories of social identity and group membership, organize large-scale cultural beliefs and ideologies, and, in conjunction with other semiotic practices, equip people with common cultural representations of their natural and social worlds.
Society for Psychological Anthropology
The Society for Psychological Anthropology (SPA) of the American Anthropological Association was founded in 1977. SPA is a broad, multidisciplinary organization of individuals interested in cultural, psychological, and social interrelations at all levels.

Society for the Anthropology of North America
The goal of the Society for the Anthropology of North America is to address the need for a focused voice and institutional presence for the Anthropology of the United States, Canada and Mexico. While elements of our research tradition are addressed by applied, medical, educational, political and urban anthropology, among others, no previously organized anthropological society has focused upon this region as an "area." In order to place our research findings in historical perspective and to continue developing theoretically, it is important that we acknowledge our area context and begin to analyze it systematically within broad frameworks such as ethnicity, race, class, gender and structured inequality.
Society for the Anthropology of Religion
The section has been formed to facilitate teaching and research in the anthropological study of religion. This includes anthropological approaches to religion from all the subdisciplines: cultural anthropology, archaeology, physical anthropology, etc. We also intend to encourage and help provide avenues for enhanced communication among scholars sharing the interests of anthropology and religion.

Our more than 2,200 members and subscribers are scholars, teachers, and libraries at colleges and universities; professionals in arts and cultural organizations; and community members involved in folklore work. Many of our members live and work in the US, but their interests in folklore stretch around the world, and today about one in every eight AFS members is from outside the US. A collective of humanities scholars, museum anthropologists, and private citizens--including author Mark Twain and US President Rutherford B. Hayes--founded the Society in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1888.

We welcome students, faculty, and anyone with similar interests to join the EAS and help us build a thriving community of researchers.
The General Anthropology Division
The General Anthropology Division (GAD) is an evolving coalition of anthropologists interested in what unifies and cross-cuts the discipline. It stimulates conversations that span the subfields and provides a home for emerging interests and ideas. It raises broad questions, fosters the emergence of new areas of inquiry, and examines the structures and conditions that shape our lives as anthropologists. GAD is also the umbrella for several committees that examine particular cross-disciplinary issues, such as the history of anthropology, science and technology studies, anthropological teaching, and the nature of anthropology in small programs. GAD publishes a bulletin, General Anthropology, and the FOSAP publication, ANTHRO-AT-LARGE.

The activities of the MES, while ongoing, peak at the annual conference of the American Anthropological Association, where the MES sponsors sessions and panels proposed by its membership. The MES also awards an annual student paper prize.
The National Association of Student Anthropologists
The National Association of Student Anthropologists (NASA), the student section of the American Anthropological Association, was founded in 1985 to address graduate and undergraduate student concerns and to promote the interests and involvement of students as anthropologists-in-training. NASA provides a network of students across the subfields of anthropology and directly addresses issues that are of interest to both undergraduate and graduate students, including finding jobs, attending graduate school, fieldwork programs, networking, and much more!
