Home/ Field – An online space for anthropological engagements with North America​

A project of the Society for the Anthropology of North America

Call for submissions

Periodically, Home/Field issues calls for themed submissions. Past examples include our Communities in Crisis series as well as more recent calls such as "Palestine, Encampments, and Campus Futures," which focused on university student protests against the war on Palestine, and "Anthropology in Florida: Praxis and its Limits," a series timed to coincide with the 2024 American Anthropological Association's annual meeting in Tampa, Florida. Please follow us here or on social media to stay informed about upcoming calls.
