HRAF staff members attended the 2022 AAA Annual Meeting from November 9-13 in Seattle, Washington. President Carol Ember and Danielle Russell, a research assistant, were the primary staff members at the exhibit booth, assisted by Ian Skoggard, a research anthropologist. We would like to thank everyone who stopped by our booth.

HRAF staff members made four presentations during the conference. Three presentations were in a panel organized by Ian Skoggard titled "Investigating Settled and Unsettled Worlds with Scientific Methods". Mike Fischer and Sri Ravula presented a paper
about HRAF's iKLEWS Project in the panel "Mixed Methods Approaches to Culture, Environment, and Family". 

HRAF is seeking candidates to join our small software engineering team, under the supervision of our Software Engineering Team Leader, for a permanent (subject to probationary period) full-time or part-time position to assist in a range of activities required for producing, processing and distributing digital resources that relate to human life of a contemporary, historic and prehistoric nature.

The candidate selected for this position will contribute to a range of activities including digital document development, developing and maintaining data services, web client UI design, development and maintenance, and other software support for HRAF's major collection of ethnographic and archaeological documents (eHRAF World Cultures and eHRAF Archaeology) distributed to our members over the internet via the WWW and other services. The individual in the position will assume, as needed, increased levels of responsibility for some areas of operation. If you questions, please contact Vice President Michael Fischer at anthrowalla@gmail.com and copy President Carol Ember at carol.ember@yale.edu.
November 29, 2022 is #GivingTuesday: a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world.
