Welcome!


In this new series, the Society for Psychological Anthropology publishes innovative research in culture and psychology that illuminates the workings of the human mind within the social, cultural, and political contexts that shape thought, emotion, and experience.  As anthropologists seek to bridge gaps between ideation and emotion or agency and structure; and as psychologists, psychiatrists, and medical anthropologists search for ways to engage with cultural meaning and difference, this interdisciplinary terrain is more active than ever.
