Anthropology News is the American Anthropological Association’s (AAA) award-winning member magazine, published on our website.
We develop insightful anthropology stories for anthropologists and anyone with an interest in anthropology. Our aim is to champion engaging, incisive anthropology writing and multimodal content from across the discipline. Vivid description, captivating tales, and adventurous forms of writing are at the heart of what we do. Think short-form magazine-style stories with scientific bite—low on jargon, high on storytelling.
Each issue is developed on a theme by the editor, who works directly with authors. We invite contributions through calls for pitches and personal invitations. Contributors can work in different settings, including business, nonprofits, academic institutions, and government.
You can browse our extensive archive of Anthropology News content and PDFs of issues in AnthroSource, and you can find all content published from 2019 onward on our website, where it is open for everyone to enjoy.
