The Society for the Anthropology of Europe (SAE) was first conceived in 1986 and its first elections were held in the Fall of 1987. The purposes of the organization, as announced in the organizing letter that went out in 1986, were to strengthen national and international networks between colleagues, to provide forums for discussion and debate, to encourage comparative research, to enhance the visibility and legitimacy of Europeanist anthropology (both within the disci Field pline and among other Europeanist groups), to facilitate the dissemination of information about employment opportunities and grants, and to promote the professional integration of students specializing in Europe. This web site includes access to the H-SAE discussion list, and details on special programs including the annual SAE student paper competition, the SAE Pre-Dissertation Fellowship, SAE’s Distinguished lecturer series and roundtables, and the online edition of the SAE’s journal Europea: The Journal of the Europeanists. You can also click here for various subgroups of SAE, including the Network for French and Francophone Cultures, The Hungarianist Research Group, the German Studies Network Bibliography, the East European Anthropology Group, and the Anthropology of Italy Network. (By the way: Strange as it may seem. SAE is a division American Anthropological Association, referenced above. Membership in one entitles you to membership in the other.)
