• SASci 2008 Programme.
• Abstracts and Index.

You can register and pay online. Register before Feb. 1 for pre-meeting rates.

[The call for sessions and papers is closed]

We hope that some of you will consider organizing or participating in panels. At present, we are looking for people to volunteer for one (or more) of the four, theme-related panels described below:

1. What does a solid four-field undergraduate program look like?
2. How are the four fields integrated with each other and what are the benefits of an integrated anthropology?
3. Papers on research conducted by a single researcher or an integrated team that combines two or more of the four fields.
4. What are the top 10 things (ideas/facts/methods/theories) from each of the subfields that every anthropologist should know something about? One way this session may be organized is to let experts hold forth, i.e., biological types to speak for biological anthro, linguist types for linguistic anthro, etc.

We are also seeking submissions from individuals who wish to present a paper or organize a panel on other themes as well.

People interested in submitting a paper for or chairing one of the above proposed panels please contact Victor de Munck; Eric Jones or Amanda Stronza.

The 2008 meetings will be held February 20-23 in New Orleans at the Le Pavillon Hotel. Hotel information can be found on the SCCR site. Registration forms will be the same as those used last year and can be found on the SASCI web site.

Brief Report on First SASci General Meeting Santa Fe 2005

Over the 24-26 of February 2005 we held 13 scholarly sessions and one business meeting; no executive committee meeting was held. Through much of the 3 day period we had two sessions running concurrently from ca. 8 am to ca. 7 pm. The 13 scholarly sessions included 6 organized SASci symposia, one joint SASci/SCCR organized symposium, 3 sessions of volunteered papers, 2 special sessions in which a presenter introduced a new topic or approach for general discussion, one general discussion session on a broad topic (cognitive anthropology). The Thursday evening business meeting was attended by ca. 35 members. Additionally, Professor Ralph Bolton and the Inn of the Turquoise Bear generously provided and hosted a Wine and Cheese Reception Thursday night after our business meeting-for which we are most grateful.
