Advanced Seminar Program

Promote in-depth communication among scholars who are at a critical stage of research on a common topic and whose interaction has the potential to move the discipline of anthropology forward with new insights into human evolution, behavior, culture, or society, including critical contemporary issues. Each consists of ten scholars who meet at SAR’s Santa Fe campus for five days of intense discussion. Participants appraise ongoing research, assess recent innovations in theory and methods, and share data relevant to broad problems in anthropology and related disciplines. SAR supports seminars that promise significant results for the filed of anthropology as a whole.
