The theme for the 80th meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology (SfAA)
is Cultural Citizenship and Diversity in Complex Societies. Its concern with issues of indigeneity, migration, and displacement are topics to which medical anthropologists have much to contribute. A full description of the meeting theme, written by program chair Lois Stanford, is available here: https://www.appliedanthro.org/index.php/annual-meeting
The Society for Medical Anthropology (SMA) is one of the co-sponsors of the
Albuquerque, NM meeting, which will be held from March 17-21, 2020.
