AUSTRALIAN ANTHROPOLOGICAL SOCIETY
REPRESENTING THE PROFESSION OF ANTHROPOLOGY IN AUSTRALIA
Welcome to the Australian Anthropological Society
The AAS is a member-based association committed to representing the profession of anthropology in Australia.
Our goals are to advance anthropology as a professional discipline grounded in the systematic pursuit of knowledge, to promote its responsible and ethical application, and to promote professional training, knowledge sharing, and practice in anthropology. The Society recognises that anthropological work is broad in scope and includes academic research, teaching, consultancies, industry engagements, advocacy, activism and public commentary.
