- GAP Interest Survey: The Global Anthropology Project (GAP) (https://globalanthropology.org/) is working to bridge the global anthropology gap. Sponsoring events highlighting the exciting efforts of individuals and organizations, GAP’s free events are for anthropologists at all career stages. Please share your interests with us by filling out the GAP Interest Survey. The results will be used to create future events reflecting your needs and interests. WAPA is a founding member of GAP.
- The AAA has launched an “Anthropology Watch” program tracker to document how colleges and universities are reassessing academic programs amid financial pressures, shifting enrollments, and institutional restructuring. The tracker aims to monitor changes to academic anthropology programs such as admissions pauses, mergers, faculty reductions, and, in some cases, program closures. Check out the tracker on the AAA website at https://americananthro.org/anthropology-watch/.
- Federal Changes and Anthropological Adaptations: Learn more about WAPA's project to understand and document the impact of 2025's federal policy changes, funding cuts, and staffing and agency losses, and participate in the survey for affected anthropologists.
