We are
a community of professionals working at the intersection
of anthropology and engineering.
We envision...
...anthropology and engineering to develop into a field where theory and method synthesise to build human-centric and engineering informed solutions for the future of innovation and technology. By integrating an understanding of human societies, cultures, languages, and biology into our problem-solving process we can create better technologies and solve more problems which humanity faces on our planet.
Our goal...
...is to create a global platform to bring together students, professionals and academics from all levels with interdisciplinary interests in anthropology and engineering. We would like to provide resources about career paths, jobs, funding, and networking opportunities for people within academia and the private sector.
