User:NicoleTirado1/Society for Applied Anthropology

The Society for Applied Anthropology (SfAA) is a worldwide organization for the Applied Social Sciences. The SfAA was founded in 1941 by Margaret Mead. It was established to, "promote the integration of anthropological perspectives and methods in solving human problems throughout the world; to advocate for fair and just public policy based upon sound research; to promote public recognition of anthropology as a profession; and to support the continuing professionalization of the field." Members include academic as well as practicing and applied anthropologists. The Society is unique among professional associations in membership and purpose – and in representing the interests of professionals in a wide range of settings including academia, business, law, public health, medicine, environment, and government. The unifying factor is a commitment to making an impact on the quality of life in the world. The Society publishes two journals: Human Organization and Practicing Anthropology.
