The Society for the Anthropology of Work (SAW) is a section within the American Anthropological Association (AAA). Our purpose is to advance the study of work in all of its aspects, drawing from all areas of the discipline. Work concerns us all. SO, WHY NOT JOIN SAW!

 

 

 


Membership Drive!

The Society for the Anthropology of Work Announces Three New Awards!

The June Nash Student Travel Award is now available to students who present papers on SAW reviewed panels at the AAA. If you think you qualify, please contact Charles Menzies.

We're excited about the launching of the new SAW Book Award, which will be given annually to the author(s) of an outstanding book in the field of the anthropology of work. If you're interested in submitting a publication for consideration, contact Eve Hochwald.

Finally the SAW recognizes the valuable contributions made in the area of ethnographic film. The SAW Film Award has been established to honor an outstanding anthropology of work film contribution. Contact Charles Menzies for more information.
