Join the Australian Anthropological Society
The Australian Anthropological Society (AAS) is a member-based association committed to representing the profession of anthropology in Australia. The Society recognises that anthropological work is broad in scope and includes academic research, teaching, consultancies, industry engagements, advocacy, activism and public commentary.
The Society seeks to advance anthropology through a range of activities, including organising the annual
AAS Conference, editing the Society’s flagship journal
The Australian Journal of Anthropology (TAJA) sharing knowledge and disseminating information through the
newsletter, and
promoting the work and activities of anthropologists through various communication and media channels (follow us on Instagram

The multi-faceted goals of the Society have led to a vibrant and engaged community of anthropologists, including scholars, industry practitioners and students. Members of the Society currently include a substantial proportion of the practicing and student anthropologists in Australia, along with some members based overseas.
The Society supports the activities of its members through a range of initiatives, including support for the
student's network ANSA, annual theses and article
prizes,
grant and
funding opportunities, providing access to
AAS Forums, supporting thematic and collaborative
networks, and offering
discounted registration rates to the annual conference and TAJA subscriptions.
