107th AAA Annual Meeting | November 19–23, 2008 | San Francisco Hilton and Towers
Inclusion, Collaboration & Engagement
Noel J Chrisman
AAA Executive Program Chair
It is time to make your final plans for the annu-
al meeting, November 19-23 in San Francisco,
a beautiful city with much to offer. The Annual
Meeting Program
Committee accepted
more than 500 sessions
this year. As always, the
annual meeting promises
to be a great opportunity
to catch up on the work
and lives of old and new
friends and colleagues,
and to attend sessions,
workshops, exhibits and meetings of commit-
tees and sections. On-site child care and a WiFi
zone will be provided for your convenience.
To whet your appetites, the Program
Committee is happy to provide you with a sneak
peak of some highly anticipated 2008 sessions.
“HIV/AIDS: Underscoring Needs for and
Challenges to Collaboration” is jointly offered
from the Association for Africanist Anthropology
and the National Association for the Practice of
Anthropology (NAPA). Presenters will analyze
why and how we must reconceptualize our theo-
retical understandings of culture and society, as
well as our approaches to health, development,
community capacity building and international
collaboration to address the HIV/AIDS crisis.
“RadicalArchaeologyasCriticalAnthropology:
Papers Honoring Thomas C Patterson” is spon-
sored by the Archeology Division. Papers will
examine such issues as the influence of archaeol-
ogy on anthropological theory and articulations
between native communities and archaeologists.
“The Legacy of Daphne Berdahl” will be
presented by the Society for the Anthropology
of Europe. Daphne Berdahl was one of anthro-
pology’s leading scholars of Central and Eastern
Europe. Papers will assess her contributions to
such areas as the anthropology of borderlands,
memory and consumption.
One of the roundtables sponsored by the
NationalAssociationofStudentAnthropologists,
 s e e w w w. a a a n e t. o r g fo r s e a r c h a b l e p r e l i m i n a r y p r o g r a m a n d a b s t r ac t s
“Graduate Student Collaborations and
Engagements in Environmental Change
Research,” will stress how graduate students can
collaborate on integrative research programs
focused on the human dimensions of environ-
mental change.
The Society for the Anthropology of
Consciousness and the Society for Latin
American and Caribbean Anthropology will
cosponsor the invited session “Black Atlantic
and Caribbean Religions: Transnational Flows
and Local Histories.” This session will bring
together researchers documenting the histories
of specific religious communities throughout
the region.
The Society for East Asian Anthropology
highlights its session “Reinventing the Chinese
State.” This panel shows, through five finely-
etched ethnographic portraits, that the Chinese
state has reinvented itself as an omnipresent
force.
NAPA and the Anthropology and Environment
Section have collaborated to produce “Researching
a Moving Target: Anthropological Models and
Methods in an Age of Unprecedented Climate
Change.” Experienced researchers and practitio-
ners will show how their work engages their
research communities in collaboration, consulta-
tion and public debate about how to address global
climate change locally.
The Society for Visual Anthropology’s 2008
lineup includes a diverse and engaging range of
papers, screenings and special events. Highlights
include the Annual Film, Video and Interactive
Media Festival, which received a record number
of contributions and promises to be one of the
best programs to date.
The Society for the Anthropology of North
America will present “New States of War and
Policing,” which will focus on the relationship
between war-making, states and policing, and
probe their convergence in the current global war
on terror.
The Society for Urban, National, and
Transnational/Global Anthropology and Society
for the Anthropology of Work will co-sponsor
“Locating Labor: Anthropologists Engage Service
Worker Struggles.” David Bacon, labor photojour-
nalist and author, will put the actions of the San
Francisco hotel strike into the context of transna-
tional labor politics and help us delineate an ethnol-
ogy of labor struggles.
The newly formed Society for Anthropological
Sciences will sponsor its first AAA sessions,
which will highlight various formal methods of
collecting, analyzing and visualizing data from
the field, in particular methods of cognitive
anthropology and social network analysis.
The Society of Lesbian and Gay
Anthropologists will co-sponsor, with the
Executive Program Committee, a session titled
“Anthropology and Transgender: Rethinking
Inclusion, Collaboration and Engagement.”
Trans and non-trans anthropologists, historians,
lobbyists and community-based activists will
constitute the exciting panel of speakers.
“Rethinking Race, Biology and Genetics” is
an Executive Program Committee session that
promises to explore the difficult debate about the
biology and social construction of race. Papers
show a recognition that anthropology, despite its
long engagement with the complex relationship
of race, biology and genetics, has yet to formulate
an effective and relevant response to the recent
surge of public interest in, and misconceptions
about, these concepts.
“Multiple Indigenous Views of Anthropology’s
Future: Envisioning a New Anthropology” is a
Presidential Session that will focus on indigenous
anthropologists, and their communities, who are
engaging in a new, collaborative anthropology
that is directed by, rather than directed at, their
heritage.
There are two sessions to which the public will
be explicitly invited: “Pulse of the Planet: Human
Rights and Social Justice in the 21st Century” and
“Implementing the United Nations Declaration
on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples: The Role of
Anthropology.” This latter panel will consider the
opportunities and challenges that the declaration
presents for anthropology and anthropological
practice.
This year, the concepts of inclusion, collaboration
and engagement guide our meeting program. With
more than 500 sessions from which to choose,
those who attend the San Francisco meeting are
bound to connect with research and colleagues that
will provide useful feedback and new insights and
opportunities. I hope that you will find it to be a
truly valuable experience.

What Every Student Should
Know about the Meeting
Setha Low
AAA President
The annual meeting
can be a whirlwind—
trying to attend all
the sessions you want,
presenting your own
work, connecting with
new and longtime col-
leagues, sharing ideas,
participating in section
meetings, attending workshops, seeing the
book exhibit and much more. All these aspects
of the meeting work towards the larger goal
of building and strengthening our community
of anthropologists. A key part of this is help-
ing graduate students join our community
of scholars and professionals, and that is why
I’m writing this letter to you.
As many of the more seasoned members dive
right into our sessions, meetings and, of course,
catching up with friends, it is easy for the
opportunity to meet emerging anthropologists
to slip past us. But there are a few straightfor-
ward actions you as graduate students can take
to increase your network of colleagues and
make the most of your meeting experience.
Go to sessions related to your work
A challenge every year is deciding what sessions
to attend. One complicating factor is the desire
to support your friends when they give their
own papers. While such support is important,
be sure to balance it with activities that relate
to your own work and research, where you can
learn the most about current research, projects
and theories in your field. To support your
friends, review and practice papers with each
other before the meeting.
Bring business cards
It is important to be able to quickly give some-
one your contact information. Also, it is easier
to keep track of cards than random pieces of
paper.
Introduce yourself
Introduce yourself to people at the sessions you
attend. The meeting is all about developing our
s e e w w w. a a a n e t. o r g fo r s e a r c h a b l e p r e l i m i n a r y p r o g r a m a n d a b s t r ac t s

able introducing yourself to people you haven’t
met before, but it is an important part of the SCHEDULE

understanding. If someone is unable to talk to
you when you greet them, hand them your card Thursday, Nov 20 12
or try to catch up with them later. For some
people, the meeting is the best time to talk; Friday, Nov 21 22
for others, communicating after the meeting
might be better. Saturday, Nov 22 31
Ask for feedback Sunday, Nov 23 40
Have you met someone who is working in your
field or working on a related topic? That person Film, Video and Interactive
may be able to give you valuable feedback or Media Screening Program 45
suggestions, but you won’t know unless you ask.
Your active participation in the meeting is 2008 Annual Meeting Program
very important both for the development of Committee 47
your own careers and the growth of our dis-
cipline. Not only do you as graduate students
bring a fresh perspective to the issues and chal-
lenges facing our field, but you are the future Distinguished Lecturer
leaders of the anthropological community at Saturday, Nov 22 | 6:30 pm–8:00 pm
all levels, including the AAA.
And please, if you see me there, come intro-
duce yourself.

Benefits of Membership in AAA
AAA offers its members a wealth of important benefits
AnthroSource
AnthroSource is the premier online resource serving the research,
teaching and professional needs of anthropologists. Developed by
the American Anthropological Association, AnthroSource brings 100
years of anthropological material online to scholars and the public.
AnthroSource offers AAA members access to more than 250,000 articles
from AAA journals, newsletters, bulletins and monographs.
AnthroSource is a fully integrated information resource: a linked,
searchable database for past, present and future AAA periodicals. Its
powerful search engine makes precision research quick and easy.
Citations in article PDF files are dynamically linked through CrossRef
to other publications, both within and beyond AnthroSource.
But AnthroSource is more than a content collection. It is an
evolving, interactive repository of research and communications tools
designed to bring the most credible and relevant of anthropological
scholarship together in one place and to support a strong community
of scholars, teachers and students in the field. Registered AAA
members can take advantage of personalization options, such as saved
searches and email alerts, to make AnthroSource a truly interactive
research tool.
Anthropology News
Anthropology News is published nine times a year, with news and
commentaries on trends, issues and activities across the discipline. AN
also features the most comprehensive listings of anthropological job
opportunities available and information on conferences and academic
meetings.
Annual Meeting Opportunities
Participate in the AAA Annual Meeting, the world’s largest, most
prestigious meeting of anthropologists.
AAA Publications

sponsored journals and newsletters based on your membership
selections.

AAA Guide, a widely consulted anthropological publication that
includes a comprehensive directory of AAA members, academic

in anthropology. The Guide also lists all AAA members’ section
affiliations and features indexes and statistical information on the
field.
Online Membership Directory

pologists. Through this online database you can develop a wide
network of colleagues, make yourself available as an expert, or find
others who are working in similar fields. While you can use the
directory to contact colleagues, you also control what information
about yourself is made public.
Networking Opportunities
Access 38 constituent sections representing the broad field of
anthropology. Extensive networking opportunities are available
in a great variety of focus areas, including biological, linguistic,
sociocultural and archaeological anthropology as well as medical,
visual, applied anthropology and more.

Help secure your family’s financial future at premiums you can
afford today. With the AAA Group Insurance Program, you can
count on competitively priced, high-quality insurance designed to
protect you and your family. And because coverage is not tied to
your job, this insurance can follow you throughout your career.

our interactive job search, post your resume and manage your career
strategy.
