EASIANTH (EASt ASIAn ANTHropology) is an electronic
discussion group (or bulletin board or listserv) devoted to
the interests of anthropologists working in East Asia.
To subscribe to EASIANTH, send the following message

to LISTSERV@VM.TEMPLE.EDU
EASIANTH grew out of an organizing session held at the
December 1994 meetings of the American Anthropological
Association where anthropologists working in East Asia voted
to form an interest group within the AAA. Though this
interest group was the motivating force behind the creation
of EASIANTH, the bulletin board is intended to provide a
forum for anthropologists throughout the world to exchange
scholarly information and to engage in discussion of any
topics related to the anthropology of East Asia.
The scope of East Asian Anthropology is inherently vast and
its boundaries fuzzy. Participants in the December 1994
meeting recognized that any definitional boundaries are
necessarily partial and arbitrary, but generally agreed to
define the scope of the interest group--and EASIANTH--
expansively to include: China (PRC, Taiwan, Hong Kong);
Japan; Korea; other societies/cultures of Asia and the
Pacific Basin with historical or contemporary ties to East
Asia; transnational linkages among East Asian or between
East Asian and other societies/cultures; and diasporic
societies/cultures identified with East Asia.
Anthropological concerns with East Asia represented by this
interest group include those of the socio-cultural,
archaeological, biological, linguistic, and applied
sub-fields.
The East Asian Anthropology Interest Group is committed to
developing international channels of communication among
anthropologists throughout the world, whether or not they
are members of the American Anthropological Association, and
therefore welcomes participation by anthropologists
regardless of their institutional affiliations or place of
residence.
EASIANTH is an international forum and postings in any
language are welcome.
EASIANTH is an unmoderated discussion group; the only
proscriptions are against commercial advertising and
malicious personal attacks. Commercial advertising refers
