Note from the WAAC 2023 Co-Conveners

Greetings!

On behalf of the entire Organizing Committee, we are excited to have you join us for the 2023 World Applied Anthropological Congress. This conference is founded on the understanding that anthropologists are entangled in and impacted by the ecological, political, psychological, and physical pathologies that we regularly encounter in our research. In an increasingly complex globalized world, suffering from the ongoing effects of a worldwide pandemic, structural disparities, and growing geopolitical upheavals, many long-standing political, sociocultural, and environmental concerns continue, even as new challenges develop. As anthropologists, how can we more successfully influence decision-makers in the public and commercial domains while using our theoretical insights to address the fundamental human challenges of our time? The Anthropological Association for Humankind’s World Applied Anthropology Congress 2023 offers an invaluable forum for academics, working social scientists, and students from a range of organizations and anthropological subdisciplines to exchange ideas and formulate solutions to the current and future problems facing humanity. It is more than simply a conference; it will be a vibrant setting for exchanging diverse ideas, experiences, practices, and workable solutions. We invite scholarly contributions from all anthropological fields, subdisciplines, and cognate disciplines to join us at the University of Kansas in Lawrence between 31 May - 3 June 2023 to engage in critical conversation and mobilize anthropological theory and methods toward transformational praxis.

Sincerely,

Prof. V. Narayana Reddy (AAfH President), president@aafh.in
