“I am AAA, specializing in policy and governance of food, agriculture, and sustainable development, and am enthusiastic to offer scholars insights into East Asia. Sustainability is key to our common future and anthropology is a useful lens and tool for us to appreciate cultural and bio-diversity throughout the world.”

"I became an American Anthropological Association member to connect with students that have the same passions. This has enhanced my professional development with networking and to share my discoveries with those in the field who are interested in such topics."

"I would love to see all of us step out into the world beyond our day-to-day jobs…While we certainly need to discuss, confer, and debate among ourselves, I believe that making room in our busy lives for anthropological outreach is our next frontier and one worth embracing immediately. I am AAA."

"Being a fresh member of the American Anthropological Association has allowed me to connect with fellow anthropologists studying Iranian culture. Through this network, I've fostered collaborative knowledge-sharing, creating a space to share my studies with a diverse community. The AAA platform has enriched my research, providing valuable insights and expanding.

I believe that the next generation of student anthropologists thrive on curiosity and cultural sensitivity, immersing in diverse experiences, active engagement with their local communities, and forging meaningful community connections. They explore varied subfields, utilizing technology for research and networking, actively contributing to anthropology's evolving dialogue."

"Lift anthropology up. It is a powerful discipline that has a strong footing in its own right and in interdisciplinary settings. Nothing occurs in a vacuum, as all human proceedings are touched by historical realities and institutional forces. Take this knowledge with you wherever you go. I am AAA."
