The Society for Cultural Anthropology (SCA) is a subsection of the American Anthropological Association (AAA). AAA dues are prorated based on doctoral/postdoctoral status and income, ranging from $65 for students to $290 for the highest income levels.

You can become a member of SCA when you join the AAA, at the rate of $42 for postdoctoral members, and only $21 for students.

SCA offers you access to:

--four issues per year of the innovative journal,
Cultural Anthropology, and its online counterpart, <culanth.org>;
--biannual SCA
Spring Conferences;
--SCA faculty/student mentoring workshops organized by research area, each year at the AAA.

In addition, each year, SCA relies on its doctoral members to constitute a jury for the Horizons Prize, awarding a $500 prize to the best article that year in Cultural Anthropology. SCA further awards the new Gregory Bateson Book Prize for innovative work in ethnography that stretches across the disciplines.

You can find out more about SCA events any time by joining the SCA Listserver for free. The server is used for conference and workshop announcements, as well as calls for papers for upcoming SCA and AAA panels in progress.

If you are already a member of the AAA, you may add a membership in SCA at any time during the year by filling out the form below, indicating that you are already a member, and marking your interest in joining SCA. You will receive the remaining number of issues of Cultural Anthropology for the duration of your membership, up to four issues, depending on the point in your membership cycle when you make the addition.
