RE CRUZ, Alicia, KRIEGER, Laurie, and LIND, Jason (UNT) Round Table LPOs Where Practice and the Academy Meet. This round table opens a conversation between SfAA members and LPO representatives to benefit both. The dual goals are 1) to better identify the needs and challenges practitioners face and 2) to discuss communication paths between practicing anthropologists and academically-based anthropologists in order to better understand practitioners’ contributions to anthropological knowledge, methodologies, and engagement with a panoply of diverse cultural, social, humanitarian, and political-economic issues.

 

Session took place in Vancouver, BC, Canada at the 76th Annual Meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology in March 2016.
