"I am AAA and a feminist anthropologist because understanding gender inequity matters to solving the key issues that face our world.”

“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.”

“I am AAA. My research on mental health and health disparities is at the heart of AAA’s mission to address human suffering around the globe. My recent work has examined the biocultural processes behind high rates of diabetes and depression among women in India. In addition to ethnography, it offers culturally grounded methodological approaches to supplement efforts in global mental health to measure and treat mental health cross-culturally.”

“I am AAA. My current research on grassroots ecumenism as a popular movement in Africa makes a timely difference to our recognition of the importance in everyday life of tolerance, inter-denominational cooperation, and religious rapprochement. My interests grew from witnessing funerals during fieldwork in Botswana over some fifty years, first as a young student and now as an emeritus professor. Working with an interdisciplinary, global team of anthropologists, social historians, and scholars of religious studies, I have focused on problems of reconciliation and forgiveness in post-conflict societies and ecumenical and anti-ecumenical tensions in other, more peaceful societies.”

“My work is fueled by the conversations, collaborations, and camaraderie I have shared with other anthropologists. I am AAA.”
