SANA Communications | Society for the Anthropology of North America

When I assumed the Presidency of SANA in November, in Vancouver, little did I imagine what would consume us in the next few months. This quarter has been turmoil, anxiety filled and surreal in so many ways. I know all of us are coping as best we can and I am grateful for the many different ways anthropologists are responding through public communications, organizing of webinars and zoominars, and future forums. Many of these efforts are being posted on various AAA Communities pages, and I hope SANA members will post on the SANA Communities page as well.

As we are all trying to continue with our work, I am delighted to announce that SANA publications will continue under new leadership. After the November meetings, we put out a call for new editors for the Journal of North American Anthropology (JANA). After review of the proposals by the current editors, Lindsay Bell and Elan Abrell and members of the Board, we have selected the team of Megan Raschig and David Flood as the new editors.
