My Biography

Alan Harwood (PhD, Columbia University, 1967) is an expert in cultural and medical anthropology. Research projects include the Safwa of southwestern Tanzania; health beliefs and practices of people living in two health areas of the South Bronx, NYC; and ideas of health and well-being among five ethnic groups in Boston, MA. His research is catalogued in the Smithsonian Anthropological Archive. Dr. Harwood attended his first AAA annual meeting in 1959.

While we remain deeply saddened by the devastating impact of the recent hurricanes in Florida and wish for a swift recovery, the Tampa Convention Center and the hotels hosting our Annual Meeting in Tampa from November 20-23 have confirmed they are "open and fully operational." We look forward to supporting the residents of Tampa and seeing you there, either in person or virtually. View a list of organizations accepting donations in Florida.
