The primary purposes of the Northwest Anthropological Association are to encourage the exchange of ideas and information among members of the anthropological community and to coordinate the annual Northwest Anthropological Conference.

Each year, a different northwest institution or organization hosts the Northwest Anthropological Conference.  The 2013 conference will be hosted by Portland State University.

If you would like further information about the Association, or if your institution or organization would be interested in hosting a future conference, contact the Northwest Anthropological Association president.

If you would like to be added to the conference announcement mailing list, please contact the host institution.
