Advocacy, Public Engagement and Member Service: An SfAA/AAA Roundtable. The SfAA and AAA have had a long and somewhat uneven history of collaboration, but there has never been a more important time for our discipline, and the time for rapprochement is now. Together, we draw on our collective power to amplify the voices of our members to highlight important anthropological contributions to build a more just and sustainable world. Leaders from the two groups will share perspectives on a selected set of timely issues, and where we can make a genuine impact on behalf of our members and the field by working together. 

 

Session took place in Portland, OR at the 79th Annual Meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology in March 2019.
