See the People behind the Issue

We don’t usually post our Masthead, but we thought you would appreciate learning a bit about the individuals who make Anthropology Now possible by volunteering their time, expertise and creative energy. We would like to draw particular attention to Jennifer Cool, who served admirably as our Media Editor from 2014 through our December 2018 issue. Jennifer redefined the position and the scope of contributions, enabling Anthropology Now to explore and reflect emergent ideas in our field and well beyond. We will continue to work with her in her new role as President-elect of AAA’s General Anthropology Division as we expand and strengthen the links that enrich our long-standing partnership with GAD.
