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.

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.
