We’re proud to highlight AAA member Thurka Sangaramoorthy, whose recent article in The Washington Post makes a powerful case for the value of anthropology in today’s world—a skill she first honed as part of our inaugural OpEd Project class back in 2019.

A must-read for anyone thinking about the future of the discipline and its impact beyond academia.
