"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."

“I am AAA because I am a doctoral candidate in cultural anthropology whose work explores the dynamics of Iraqi and Syrian displacements into Jordan, particularly the everyday relations, solidarities, and frictions between refugees and host communities."

"My work as an anthropologist in the Middle East region has served as a constant reminder of the importance of placing human beings first above all else. Ethnography is powerful due to the human connections we are able to forge. My research, scholarship, teaching, and activism have been in the service of social justice and I'm thankful to be part of a discipline and sub-field where this is valued. I am AAA."

“I am AAA because my 50 years of working to understand economic systems from the tribal to the industrial gave me the comparative vision to see that one of the keys to alternatives to industrial farming in Iowa is access to agricultural land for those who want to farm without crippling debt, that one of the remedies to our water pollution that is killing all life in the Gulf of Mexico is to farm sustainably and build our depleted soils, and that one way to improve our health is to make available healthy food. Anthropology shows us where problems are and ways we can work toward their solution. And it keeps us aware of our common humanity and that every person on this planet deserves one share of it. No more, no less.”

“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.”
