Society for the Anthropology of Work
Welcome
The Society for the Anthropology of Work (SAW), a section of the American Anthropological Association (AAA), seeks to advance the study of work and to communicate that knowledge to the world.
In recent months, SAW has committed itself to centering the contributions of scholars of color and to advancing an antiracist, decolonial anthropology of work. Stay tuned for information about SAW’s activities at the 2021 annual meeting of the AAA.
