Anthropology Today

Anthropology Today is a bimonthly publication which aims to provide a forum for the application of anthropological analysis to public and topical issues, while reflecting the breadth of interests within the discipline of anthropology. It is also committed to promoting debate at the interface between anthropology and areas of applied knowledge such as education, medicine, development etc. as well as that between anthropology and other academic disciplines. Anthropology Today encourages submissions on a wide range of topics, consistent with these aims. Anthropology Today is an international journal both in the scope of issues it covers and in the sources it draws from.

Anthropology Southern Africa

Anthropology Southern Africa is firmly based within the region while also reaching out and attracting work by a range of regional and international scholars, who are committed to Southern African scholarship. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research articles, book reviews, commentary, and other material relevant to engaged scholarly discourse within and outside Anthropology. The journal is listed in the Thomson Reuters Social Science Citation Index. 

Anthropology and Humanism

Anthropology and Humanism concerns that central question of the discipline: what it is to be human. AH welcomes contributions from all major fields of anthropology and from scholars in other social science disciplines, as well as the humanities. It seeks to bring out the intricate and contradictory processes of life in other cultures--including those of anthropologists. Whether working with life histories or demographics, poetics or nutrition, artistic expression or scientific writing, this journal strives to maintain a focus on the human actors themselves.

Anthropology & Education Quarterly 

Anthropology & Education Quarterly is a peer-reviewed journal that draws on anthropological theories and methods to examine educational processes in and out of schools, in US and international contexts. AEQ encourages submissions of three types of research articles—research-based, reflections from or on the field, and creative. Research-based articles rely primarily on ethnographic research to address immediate problems of practice as well as broad theoretical questions. AEQ features articles based on views from/on the field and reflections on doing ethnography. AEQ provides an outlet for ethnographic short fiction, poetry, and creative non-fiction to be featured in the creative section of the journal. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions of reviews of published books that come from a wide range of relevant topics in anthropology and education.
