American Anthropological Association (AAA) Annual Meeting
The American Anthropological Association (AAA) Annual Meeting will be
held in Seattle this November 9–13.
The 2022 AAA Annual Meeting theme “Unsettling Landscapes” encourages
anthropological discussion of past, present, and future unsettlings of
the world — be it through environment, power, political economy or
through the collective efforts of unsettling and disrupting oppressive
structures while building worlds otherwise.
While our worlds are defined by nothing if not change, the current
unsettling of landscapes brings with it an urgency that demands
conversations which may elicit feelings of discomfort and disturbance,
but may also stoke hope and determination.
This orientation towards unsettling pushes us beyond easy narratives and
facile binaries into moments of transformation. In essence, this theme
asks two questions: In what ways are we, and those we work with,
unsettled? How are we also unsettling landscapes and to what end?
