sarab Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Anyone going to the AAAs this week? Any panels you're excited about?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novacancy Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I'll be there! I'll be volunteering at the job placement center on Thursday--it gives me free entry for the rest of the weekend! I'm very excited to meet a few of my POIs and to see their presentations. However, there is so very little archaeology at the AAAs. I'm sure it'll still be a treat!

anthropologygeek Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I never go AAA. Way to focused on culture and primates for me. I prefer AAPA'S in the spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily for me, there is a good amount of linguistic anthropology, latin american anthropology, and indigenous anthropology. I'm so excited!

bioarch_fan Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Yay. I'll be going too!!! While I agree with anthropologygeek, there are still some very good physical anthropology sessions dealing with bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology. Plus I get to meet two of my POIs for sure. Getting so excited. My friends and I will be there Thursday morning...we're leaving at 1am Thursday morning and driving from Ohio to Chicago.

anthropologygeek Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Fan- I also don't have time to go to more than 2-3 conferences a year. And I want them paid for so it would be pretty insane to present or poster at more than 2-3 a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pears Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 So jealous of those attending! I'd love to hear thoughts on panels, keynotes, etc., especially from archaeologists. I may apply to poster or present(!) at next year's meeting, but I haven't actually been to AAAs yet, so I'm not sure what kinds of topics, crowds (sizes or personalities), dress code, etc. to expect.
