ASA Apply

At the beginning of the twenty-first century we are working in a context where anthropologists, anthropological approaches and ethnographic methods are increasingly important in informing decision-making in the public sector, industry and NGOs.

The ASA Network of Applied Anthropologists (‘Apply’) aims both to serve and draw closer together practitioners of applied anthropology working in and outside academia, students seeking a career as an applied anthropologists, teachers and trainers in applied anthropology, and employers and clients of applied anthropologists. This website is an organic and growing project, it does not simply provide information but relies on its users to send texts and links to participate in the development of this project.

Please use the navigation bar on the right to browse the site, join the network's e-list, view our directory of applied anthropologists, and read about forthcoming events.

News:

The last meeting of the Apply was held in London on Tuesday 29th January 2008, details of future meetings will follow soon.

APPLY-Scotland has renewed interest in running a group that is more accessible to those living in the North of the country. At this point, we'd like to hear from anyone who might be interested in coming along to an event, perhaps in the Spring of 2008. Any suggestions around what they would find useful in terms of the future format, direction or content of meetings would be welcome.

It provides an online space for the promotion, discussion and development of applied anthropology in the UK.
