JPD is a refereed journal providing a forum for the sharing of critical thinking and constructive action at the intersections of conflict, development and peace. As a refereed journal with a unique mission, JPD offers a professional and respected tool for promoting dialogue and expanding networks on critical peacebuilding discussions towards coherent, constructive action. Our networks of scholar communities, policy-makers and advisors, practitioners and activists across the North and South that we serve and seek to better serve engage in dialogue around critical issues at the heart of our collective global search for peace. JPD鈥檚 capturing of innovative practices, policy analysis and recommendations, and theory derived from the on-the-ground realities that people in conflict and fragile contexts face, offers holistic, practical and visionary approaches that seek to influence policy and practice in ways that support transformative processes globally.
Economic Anthropology is published by the Society for Economic Anthropology (SEA)
to make available research that is innovative and interdisciplinary and focused on
economic and social life to serve scholars, practitioners, and general audiences.
Contributors to the journal represent a wide range of disciplines including cultural
anthropology, archaeology, sociology, demography, economics, ecology, geography, and
history. In 2017, Economic Anthropology doubled its annual publication list from one
to two: a theme-based issue pegged to our annual conference, and a new Open Submission
issue representing a wide variety of research engaged with economy and society.
Aims and Scope
Economic Anthropology was founded in 2013 during the transition from the SEA鈥檚 independent status to a society within the American Anthropological Association (AAA). The premier issue was published in January 2014. In 2015, the journal recorded the single highest rate of growth for readership for all 33 journals housed in the AAA. In 2017, the journal expanded to include two issues per year鈥攖he theme-based publication, and an open-submission issue.
For 30 years preceding the founding of the journal, the SEA published an annual volume
of articles drawn from the Annual SEA Spring Conference. Annual themes reflect issues
of current debate and significance and have included, for example, Technologies, Energy,
Inequality, Cities, Greed, Landscape, Cooperation, Tourism, Disaster, Morality, Textiles,
and Food. The journal continued the successful tradition of publishing a theme-based
annual issue but with a high-quality online format, full indexing of articles, a forward-looking
vision, and the support of Wiley publishing and AAA, the journal is able to reach
a broad base of scholars and publics.
To further the goal of making the most current research available to a broad audience, Economic Anthropology emphasizes clear and accessible writing. We encourage authors to take advantage of the journal鈥檚 online format and incorporate photos, graphics, and links to video or other related materials. The journal considers the work of scholars at all points in their careers, including advanced PhD students.
