From the Association’s perspective, one of our key responsibilities is to advance the field of anthropology by applying our “super powers,” including the power to convene anthropologists for the purposes of intellectual exchange, teaching and learning, and professional development. When we cancelled our in-place meeting this past fall, and produced instead the “Raising Our Voices” virtual event series, we experimented with design features that would help us adhere to four core values (1) quality (both intellectual content – originality and rigor – and logistical execution); (2) breadth (encompassing the full range of anthropology’s sprawling intellectual terrain); (3) accessibility (in terms of both interactive design and affordability); and (4) sustainability (ensuring the resources that sustain the AAA’s service to its members and the discipline). This presentation will highlight what we observed concerning the potential for extending affordable access to members who might otherwise not participate, as well as observations about the appropriate range and types of presentation formats to accommodate students and professionals working in academic and practice settings, the appropriate range and types of professional development opportunities to offer through workshops and other activities, effective ways of reducing our carbon footprint while maintaining member engagement, how best to balance the Meeting’s contributions to Association finances with equitable and affordable member engagement, and ways that technological affordances can strengthen the relationships among anthropologists and representatives from the interlocutors and communities with which we work.
