AAA Interest Group - Anthropology of Tourism Dear colleagues: We are writing to invite you to participate in a new American Anthropological Association (AAA) Interest Group on the Anthropology of Tourism. Nearly 50 AAA members from around the world met in San Francisco last November to form the scholarly network that will serve as the basis for the new Interest Group. The Interest Group’s goals are to develop collaborations within and outside of the AAA, promote our scholarly efforts, create AAA panels and events, and exchange ideas and research related to the anthropology of tourism. We have created a website to share information about the group, its goals, and its members, as well as syllabi and news on developments within this growing subdiscipline: http://www.anthropologyoftourism.net As part of the process of gaining formal recognition by the American Anthropological Association as an official Interest Group, we ask all interested AAA members to visit the web link below and provide your name and contact information. This will constitute signing the petition to create the Interest Group, as well as becoming a member. Interest group membership is free; there are no dues and you can be a member of multiple interest groups. However, you must be a member of the AAA. http://www.anthropologyoftourism.net/become-a-member.html If you are not a member of the AAA, but would still like to be involved, we encourage you join the Interest Group’s page on Facebook. Go to: We look forward to celebrating the formation of this group at a kick-off party during the AAAs in Chicago this coming November. We hope to see you there!
