Twenty Years of Applied Anthropology

Abstract

1961 marks the twentieth anniversary of the founding of The Society for Applied Anthropology. We plan to celebrate this event by holding, as our annual meeting, a conference on "Major Issues of Modern Society." Here, with a limited number of major papers and ample opportunity for discussion, we will take stock of the progress of our Society and the problems encountered by its members in research and application of research findings to some of the key issues of the day. We shall use this stocktaking particularly to look into the future and to search for more effective ways of contributing to scientific and social progress in the next twenty years.
