The Association seeks to advance anthropology in Europe by organizing biennial conferences, by editing its academic journal Social Anthropology/Anthropologie Sociale, its Newsletter and the two publication series. The Association further encourages and supports thematic networks.

Please help us in keeping the SA/AS journal Open Access by supporting institutional subscriptions.
Recommend the journal to your library by contacting your librarian. The Journal is Open Access to individuals but relies on a model of S2Open.
The EASA members-only moderated forum is a new intitiative where members can debate and post information. We urge all members to engage with each other on the forum respectfully and in the spirit of reflecting the discipline’s ability to deal with complexity and conflicting opinions. The forum will be maintained as an internal tool of communication. Browse EASA forums >>
