Emory Anthropology Student Society

The Anthropology club has been a part of Emory's Department of Anthropology for over 20 years, but, in the summer of 2015, a group of motivated Emory Anthropology students decided that it was time to re-envision the club. The result was a name change, to "Emory Anthropology Student Society," as well as a shift in focus. Now, all Emory students are encouraged to join, as the goal of the society is to host events and activities that cultivate a strong and dynamic sense of community in the university writ large, as well as a place where the department and the larger Emory undergraduate population can interface in a relaxed and not wholly academic sphere.

The club's goal is to provide Anthropology centric events that appeal to everyone, with the objective being to expose individuals who would otherwise have no, or minimal, experience with Anthropology as a discipline, area of potential academic interest, hobby, and/or way of thought. Additionally, and in accordance with Emory's continual shift towards interdisciplinary education, we strive to pull membership from all disciplines and pre-professional tracks.
