2026 AAA Annual Meeting: On the Verge

About this event

https://annualmeeting.americananthro.org/meeting/

We will convene the 2026 AAA Annual meeting, November 18-22, with the theme “ On the Verge ,” an intentionally capacious theme that speaks to this moment and its many problems—the climate crisis and its tipping points, encroaching authoritarianism, the transmutations of racial biopolitics, the fate of neoliberalism, the development and spread of artificial intelligence, teetering institutions, to name a few—while also provoking reflection on what is left behind and what is up ahead. “On the Verge” draws attention to both endings and beginnings, while inhabiting the space in between.
