Institutional Representatives


The Institutional Representatives Forum is a collective of anthropologists based at universities around Australia. Ideally, at least one anthropologist from each university nominates to be an Institutional Representative to the AAS. In Australian universities today, there are fewer and fewer departments or schools of anthropology. Institutional Representatives may therefore come from joint departments, including those where the Head of Department may be from another discipline (e.g. departments of anthropology and sociology, anthropology and development studies) as well as contexts where anthropology is taught but not named in an institution’s organisational structure (e.g. general social science programs). Institutional Representatives must be current financial members of the AAS. 

Institutional Representatives are asked to:

  • Attend occasional meetings of the Institutional Representatives Forum, which are usually held online throughout the year and in person during the Annual Conference;
  • Organise nominations for the annual AAS prizes for best PhD and Honours theses;
  • Be a point of contact through which information can be distributed between the faculty and students of anthropological institutions/departments, the AAS Executive Committee, and representatives of the student network, ANSA.
