The
Australian Anthropological Society 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 though
The Q Newsletter and
Monthly e-Bulletin, and promoting the work and activities of anthropologists through various communication and media channels (follow us on
Twitter and
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 practising 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,
the 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.
