2012 Minutes– Anthropology of Tourism Interest Group

2012 AAA, San Francisco

Picture

An inaugural organizational meeting will be held at the 2012 AAA Annual Meeting on Saturday, November 17th at Union Square 13 on the 4th Floor of the Hilton San Francisco from 6:15-7:30pm.
This is a call to convene tourism researchers in the AAA to found an “Interest Group”. By establishing formally an interest group we seek to develop a network of tourism-focused anthropologists, resources to share, tourism panels, roundtables, and other special events, activities, and collaborations.
At this initial meeting we will discuss the content of a statement of purpose, goals, as well as collect names and contact information for new members. Please spread the word among your AAA-attending anthropology colleagues who do research in or around tourism. Even if tourism is not your main thing, but you are interested in starting up research on tourism issues, please join us for this meeting!
