Welcome
Welcome to the Anthropology Association of Ireland
The Anthropological Association of Ireland exists to promote social and cultural anthropology within Ireland. Our 
activities involve the organisation of, usually, two conferences or workshops per year, and the publication of the Irish Journal of Anthropology. We also provide professional anthropological support in Ireland for those conducting anthropological work, in the form of our ethical guidelines. Members can log in below to access the members menu which will provide links to the Irish Journal of Anthropology, the AAI blog and form for submission of articles and papers for the blog, journal or upcoming conferences. If you have any difficulty logging in please ensure that you are fully registered with us by contacting our membership secretary Dr. Siún Carden. Contact details for AAI committee members are available here.
