“I am AAA because anthropology provides a holistic outlook and the tools to dismantle the health disparities I see in the communities where I work.”

"Anthropology challenges me to appreciate the multitude of ways we engage with microbes and medicines in this world. I am a medical anthropologist examining antibiotic resistance and the use of antibiotics in the United States. The particular methods and theories of medical anthropology are essential to understanding the social, cultural, historical, and political overlays in the prescribing practices of hospital-based physicians. I am AAA."

"AAA is building new connections, reaching new audiences and publics, and exploring new ways of knowing. SLACA is at the forefront of this work, examining and transgressing boundaries and borders in

Latin America and the Caribbean. All these elements guide my research, scholarship, and teaching, and that is why I am AAA."

“I am AAA, as a cultural anthropologist specializing in craft economies in Mexico and as a former President of the Society for Latin American & Caribbean Anthropology. My section allows me to stay connected with an amazing group of anthropology colleagues who works throughout the region. Even through my home department is now Geography, AAA and SLACA keep me grounded in the field I love most.”

“I am AAA. I study the financial economy. In advanced market economies, finance is the hidden infrastructure of both seemingly impersonal domains, like the complex global economy, as well as our most intimate territories, like family life. My research examines how systems of credit, debt, and money management shape the problems we face, the way we think, how we treat each other and understand ourselves.”

We want to express our concern for our members and colleagues in the potentially affected areas as we monitor Hurricane Milton.

In the meantime, we hope everyone stays safe and takes the necessary precautions.
