I know someone who is brainstorming this idea and will let you know as I learn more. But something like this could be an explicit way to forge a link between the two associations without requiring attendance at both meetings.Julienne Rutherfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989351017526826333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3819620844167690741.post-30751152940947226422010-12-06T08:40:17.007-08:002010-12-06T08:40:17.007-08:00Julienne, I think you make a great point here.

Part of me wants to flee from the AAA after this mission statement, and I certainly don't have the money/time to invest in yet another conference... but at the same time I think there is something to be said for us making the effort to, as you put it, re-invest our time and try to increase our presence at the AAAs. I hope this conversation continues, online and in our departments, in the coming months, and maybe at the AAPAs we can actually all talk in person about it.KateClancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10266484364483890008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3819620844167690741.post-464467207017489312010-12-04T09:33:30.762-08:002010-12-04T09:33:30.762-08:00Thanks Anonymous!

I'm hoping that the "kerfuffle" actually encourages biological anthropologists to participate in the upcoming AAA meetings. Submit symposia both with other bio types and across fields. Go to talks far outside your comfort zone to challenge your thinking about sociocultural research. Attend the BAS business meetings. I think there's a way to turn this into a renaissance of sorts.Julienne Rutherfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989351017526826333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3819620844167690741.post-60603131537859172662010-12-03T12:59:06.540-08:002010-12-03T12:59:06.540-08:00Thank you for posting this -- it really gives me h...Thank you for posting this -- it really gives me hope that the statement will get changed after the 2011 meetings. I hope the BAS and other sections mobilize around that goal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3819620844167690741.post-40549630798297401062010-12-01T17:15:08.000-08:002010-12-01T17:15:08.000-08:00Thanks for all your coverage!
