Psychological Anthropology

Submission status
Closed
In this special section we introduce current research in psychological anthropology, a subdiscipline that sits at the cusp of anthropology and psychology, and which looks back at 100 years of scholarship in the USA, but has only recently (re-)emerged as concerted scholarly engagement in other domains.

The articles remind us to retain some of the hopeful properties of care: not because critiques of care are invalid but because the contemporary global moment - characterized by widespread sentiments of powerlessness, futility, and paralysis in the face of climate change, pandemics, and war - calls for an anthropology that can do more than just critique. We believe that it is the responsibility of (psychological) anthropologists to care for others by sharing their knowledge with a broad range of people within and outside academia and not hesitating when it comes to putting visions into practice.
