Welcome to the Northeastern Anthropological Association!
The Northeastern Anthropological Association (NEAA) was founded in 1961. Since then, the organization has evolved into a vibrant community of scholars and professionals and students whose annual rite of conference is a wonderful chance to meet, talk, and exchange views. We welcome you to our effort.
The Northeastern Anthropological Association was founded in 1961 as the professional organization for anthropologists of Northeastern North America.
The Northeastern Anthropological Association (NEAA) is a regional association from Northeastern North America, including the northeastern United States and Canada, which welcomes students and scholars of anthropology of any age with a passion for the study of human beings, which is what anthropology is - the study of humans in its broadest sense. This includes all four subfields of anthropology: cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, biological anthropology, and archaeology. As scholars of anthropology, we love our discipline, and we think that an anthropology toolkit is valuable in many walks of life.
