“I am AAA...not because of years of study or those embroiled in research and applied work (though, these certainly help), but for the questions that burn from the core of my being as to why we are as we are and why we do what we do. Answering these writhing and slippery questions are the force behind all of our invaluable efforts: profession, practicing, applied, arcane, and in the aim of earnest improvement. All that we do, we do together for our betterment! I am AAA because we are a stronger AAA together."

“I AM AAA. I have spent my entire lifetime as an anthropologist seeking to understand the human condition. Motivated by the conviction that anthropological knowledge has a critical role to play in finding solutions to problems of poverty, sickness, social conflicts and injustice, it has been my privilege to work on such issues as HIV/AIDS prevention, the global struggle for LGBT rights, and the welfare of rural families in the highlands of southern Peru. For me, anthropology is a way of life and a lifelong commitment, not merely a career.”

"I am AAA because women and girls everywhere deserve a say in peace negotiations and rebuilding their societies.”

"I am AAA because, as a Jamaican anthropologist, I proudly stand on the shoulders of Zora Neale Hurston and use the spyglass of anthropology to imagine the Caribbean as a space that disturbs, disrupts and opens up new ways for engaging disciplinary epistemologies and methods."

"Anthropology is the venue through which I am able to align my curiosities and my passion with my professional life. As an applied anthropologist, I am interested in ways that anthropological knowledge can be used to improve lives and communities. I am AAA."
