AAA OpEd Project Applications Open

Thanks to a generous grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation, the American Anthropological Association is once again offering members the opportunity to take part in “Write to Change the World” workshops organized and facilitated by The OpEd Project – a think tank and leadership organization that accelerates the ideas and impact of underrepresented voices. They are a community of journalists and thought leaders who actively share knowledge, resources, and connections with stunning results. The workshops are 100% virtual with participants joining across an enormous range of identities, voices, and ideas.

The AAA will cover the full registration cost for selected participants. In addition, AAA will coordinate post-workshop support by pairing participants with experienced coaches and mentors who can provide feedback on topics, drafts, and publication strategies.

To be considered (AAA membership required), please submit the following by February 27, 2026:

• Your background and contact information
• A short writing sample (750 words or fewer) written for a general audience (publication not required)
• A brief paragraph explaining why this workshop matters to you and how it will help you amplify your work

Please send all information to Jeff Martin.
