EASA is a professional association open to all social anthropologists either qualified in, or else working in, Europe.
The Association seeks to advance anthropology in Europe by organizing biennial conferences and by editing its academic journal, Social Anthropology/Anthropologie Sociale. This appears four times a year and is available free of charge to all paid-up members. EASA is a self-governing democratic body, and is a member of the World Council of Anthropological Associations (WCAA).
The EASA2012 Call for Workshops attracted an 240 proposals; the Call for Papers, 2000 - thanks to all who contributed. All papers have now been marked up, and we are currently working on rehousing of those papers which were marked as 'transfer'.
Accommodation information is now posted on the site and we urge all would-be delegates to read that and act now.
