Academic CentreThis Foundation is committed to playing a global leadership role in anthropology, helps anthropologists advance anthropological knowledge, build sustainable careers, and amplifies the impact of anthropology within the wider world.
The main goals of the Foundation:
- to advance knowledge across anthropology's many subfields and specializations;
- to amplify the discipline's impact by giving anthropologists the skills and platforms they need to reach broader audiences and to affirm the value of anthropology in a rapidly changing world;
- to nurture and safeguard anthropology as a career and a discipline by helping anthropologists demonstrate the value of their discipline and develop new ways to put their skills and insights to work;
- to foster inclusive conversations by supporting anthropologists with different backgrounds, perspectives, methods and commitments.
