Cast Your Vote Today!
It's time to vote. AAA has a new voting system. Everything you need will open from the AAA homepage, or you can log-in directly through AnthroGateway and once you have selected AAA candidates through that ballot, you will go on to the section candidates on those ballots (for those you belong to) where you will be asked to vote also for bylaw changes and in one case a resolution.

Committee Corner

Change in U.S. Census Classification

AAA experts on Language and Social Justice from the Committee for Human Rights and Society for Linguistic Anthropology have been working with the U.S. Census Bureau for several years to spur terminology change in the tabulation of household language data. Through extensive communication with the U.S. Census Bureau and with the support of the Census Advisory Committee on the Hispanic Population, the U.S. Census Bureau agreed to eliminate the phrase "linguistic isolation" from its products issued starting in 2011. Click here for complete details.
