American Anthropologist launches “Public Anthropology Reviews”

Request for Submission of Review Materials

AAA is pleased to announce the launch of “Public Anthropology Reviews,” a new review section in American Anthropologist.

Public Anthropology Reviews will highlight anthropological work principally aimed at non-academic audiences, including websites, blogs, white papers, journalistic articles, briefing reports, online videos, and multimedia presentations. The editors will also consider other traditional and innovative mechanisms for communicating anthropological research and concepts outside of academic realms and welcome suggestions. Please note that this review section will complement existing review sections and will therefore not review books, films or museum exhibits.

Editors: Melissa Checker (CUNY Queens C), Alaka Wali (Field Museum) and David Vine (American U)

They are now accepting submissions for materials to be reviewed in the June 2010 issue of AA. Please send inquiries, ideas and submissions of materials for review to: publicanthreviews@gmail.com
