"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

Meet Elizabeth Hanna Rubio, a member of the Society @SANA_Anthro and part of the new @JANA_Anthro Editorial Collective, which is currently accepting article submissions. Elizabeth is an incoming Assistant Professor Gender and Sexuality Studies at UC Riverside. Elizabeth builds on her work as a community organizer to conduct research that responds to emergent questions and practices in leftist social justice spaces. She is currently completing her book manuscript entitled Dreams Beyond Recognition: Liberalism’s False Negotiations and the Search for Alternatives in Korean American Immigrant Justice Work. Based on six years of ethnographic research with undocumented Korean American organizers in Southern California, Washington D.C., and Chicago, Dreams Beyond Recognition examines the fraught politics of multiracial coalition-building in immigrant justice spaces and the complexities of enacting immigrant justice through an abolitionist lens.
