Ph.D. Candidate, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

“If you like it, just do it. Whether your background was once social work or law or economics, these experiences shape the way you understand the world. When you're ready, anthropology welcomes you.”

"Since becoming a member in 2020, participating in AAA's annual meetings has helped me connect with leading scholars in my field and funding opportunities."

Raymond Scupin

Raymond Scupin

Professor Emeritus Anthropology and International Studies, Lindenwood University

"Do deep ethnographic research that will contribute to humanity's knowledge of different cultures and societies emphasizing the differences and similarities among humans. Also utilize the four-field approach in exploring human evolution, both biologically and culturally, to seek out the facets of human nature."

"Initially, I planned to become a professor. I evolved to become an anthropologist with a career in advertising and marketing research and a Lecturer at Columbia Business School."

"I became a member when I was a graduate student to attend annual meetings, present my work, and meet anthropologists from across the world. These meetings planted in me the seeds for my later work representing anthropology and anthropologists in organizations such as EASA, IUAES, WCAA, WAU, ISC, and CIPSH."

We want to express our concern for our members and colleagues in the potentially affected areas as we monitor Hurricane Milton. As we approach our Annual Meeting scheduled for November 20-23, we will keep you updated on any developments and how they may impact our plans in Tampa. In the meantime, we hope everyone stays safe and takes the necessary precautions.
