The summer interns will be arriving in just a few weeks.
The program is exclusively member funded and is now in its third consecutive year. While the interns are not paid, housing and a stipend to cover meals and travel expenses during their internship is provided. It costs $4,000 per intern to provide this valuable opportunity for anthropology students.
Currently, we need to raise $1,974 dollars to reach our goal of $12,000 to support the three interns.

As the marriage bill heads to the U.K. House of Lords for its second reading, Roger Lancaster contributes an anthropological perspective on marriage as a labile institution, designed to meet societal needs and necessarily not tethered to a heterosexual dyad in his latest Huffington Post article. His words offer a trenchant rebuttal to the director of Catholic Voices and the Archbishop of Canterbury, whose positions all appear in a provocative and engaging new volume: The Meaning of Matrimony, just published by Civitas. The UK debate coincides with anticipation that the U.S. highest court will rule on Windsor v. U.S. – Defense of Marriage Act before the term ends in late June.
In addition to this newly released volume, AAA is keeping anthropological perspectives at the forefront of these debates in the debut issue of Open Anthropology, a compilation of 11 articles that similarly show how mutable and varied domestic arrangements are.
