HIGH PLAINS SOCIETY FOR APPLIED ANTHROPOLOGY
Organizational Overview 1993
As you may know, our organization is one of several LPO's (Local
Practitioner Organizations) scattered across the country. As we enter our
13th year, we are pleased to be able to share the news that ours is now the
second largest in the United States and by some measures, the most active.
Our traditional annual meeting, always held in April, attracts practicing
anthropologists from throughout the High Plains/Rocky Mountain region.
Nationally recognized anthropologists such as John van Willigen, Ted
Downing, and Muriel Crespi have provided keynote addresses. Our
peer-reviewed journal, the High Plains Applied Anthropologist, edited by
Susan Scott-Stevens, is circulated nationally but features the work of our
own members. Our newsletter is edited by Art Campa and contains
interesting "bits and pieces" of local news. In conjunction with the
Center for Cultural Dynamics and Colorado universities, the High Plains
Society sponsors occasional special events and seminars as well.
Of greatest importance, the Society serves as a vehicle for the
development of collegial relationships among nearly a hundred practicing
anthropologists and colleagues from allied disciplines, most of whom are
non-university based in the High Plains/Rocky Mountain Region.
