everything from random babbling to intellectual thoughts mixed with anthropology, technology, and culture

The SfAA has added some cool features this year

Posted by Jen Cardew Kersey on June 19, 2007

The Society for Applied Anthropology (SfAA) has had a seemingly productive year thus far.
The Society has added podcasts of a few sessions from the Annual Meeting, a social network for members and non-members to socialize, and now the Society has announced that Human Organization (a SfAA publication) is available online (you do have to be a member to have access though).

Personally, I believe that the online social network is the best addition to the society. It will (and has begun to) serve as a space for people to collaborate and share information year-round. Prior to the start of this site, the only way for students to communicate with each other was through a forum managed by the SfAA’s student committee- prior to the boards being taken down last month- there was very little discussion and the student info section had not been updated since the 2006 meeting in Vancouver… let’s hope the new network works better.
