Anthropology and Humanism A project of American Anthropological Association (see other related projects). About Anthropology and Humanism, the journal of the Society for Humanistic Anthropology, is the voice of humanistic science. In this capacity, AH accepts articles from anthropologists who concern themselves with the central question of the discipline: what it is to be human. Believing that such an issue must be addressed both holistically and by the whole discipline, AH welcomes contributions from all major fields of anthropology. Also, the journal welcomes articles from scholars in other disciplines, in the humanities as well as in the sciences. Among the types of submissions AH especially values are (1) those that explore the relationship between humanistic anthropology and other anthropological currents, (2) those that bring to the fore trends in the humanities that may further humanistic anthropology, and (3) those that bring out the intricate and contradictory processes of life in other cultures—also including those of the anthropologist.
