SHA Journal

Anthropology and Humanism, the journal of the Society for Humanistic Anthropology, is the voice of humanistic science. In this capacity, AH accepts articles from anthropologists who concern themselves with the central question of the discipline: what it is to be human. Believing that such an issue must be addressed both holistically and by the whole discipline, AH welcomes contributions from all major fields of anthropology. Also, the journal welcomes articles from scholars in other disciplines, in the humanities as well as in the sciences.

CALL FOR MANUSCRIPTS

Humanism has historically made the human endeavor the subject of its concerns. Humanistic anthropology seeks to bring the intellectual and creative resources of the discipline to bear upon this subject, and celebrates human reality at all levels. In this capacity, Anthropology and Humanism accepts articles from anthropologists who concern themselves with our central question: what does it mean to be human. Believing that such an issue must be addressed both holistically and by the whole discipline, Anthropology and Humanism welcomes contributions from all major fields of anthropology. Likewise, it welcomes articles from scholars in other disciplines, in the humanities as well as the sciences. Among the types of submissions it especially values are 1) those that explore the relationship between humanistic anthropology and other anthropological currents; 2) those that bring to the for trends in the humanities that may further humanistic anthropology; and 3) those that bring out the intricate and contradictory processes of life in other cultures, also including those of the anthropologist. Anthropology and Humanism solicits essays, fiction, and poetry. Photographs and drawings are particularly encouraged.
