The ASA

The ASA is the professional association for social anthropology. It was founded in 1946 to promote the study and teaching of anthropology and to uphold the interests and status of the discipline, primarily in the UK, but also extending to the Commonwealth, where it works collaboratively with fellow anthropology associations. The ASA’s major role is to assist its members in planning and conducting research, and to represent social anthropology and anthropologists in the academy, and in relation to policy and funding.

The ASA maintains a searchable directory of members, which is in effect a register of professional social anthropologists. It publishes the annual ASA monograph; the peer-reviewed open access journal ASAonline and the Firth lectures. It supports the communication of social anthropology in various social media.

For more details about the ASA’s activities, past and present, please click here.

ASA Ethical Guidelines Review Working Group (EGG)
Earlier this year ASA members were invited to express their interest in joining the ASA’s Ethical Guidelines Group (EGG) and we thank all those who responded. The members of EGG are:
Prof Kirsty Bell (University of Roehampton)
Prof Garry Marvin (University of Roehampton)
Dr Lucy Pickering (University of Glasgow)
Prof Jude Robinson (University of Glasgow, (ASA Ethics Officer and EGG Chair))
Dr Heike Schaumberg (University of Reading)
Prof David Zeitlyn (University of Oxford)

Please note: we don’t have a PGR or an anthropologist working outside academia on our group and so please do get in touch if you are interested in joining (ethics(at)theasa.org).
Our remit in EGG is to review the current ASA Ethical Guidelines 2011, and to make any revisions or additions that we and the wider community think should be there to ensure that the Guidelines support the research and practice of anthropologists working inside and outside academia. If you have any questions or queries about the work of EGG, please contact me (Jude Robinson) at ethics(at)theasa.org.
