Mission Statement

Ecological and Environmental Anthropology is an online peer-reviewed publication housed within the Department of Anthropology at the University of Georgia. EEA provides a forum for the exploration of the complex, dynamic, and multifaceted relationships between humans and their social and physical environments. We hope to provide fertile ground for the integration of the various subfields of anthropology and foster interdisciplinary dialog among academics within anthropology, scholars in other social and natural science fields, and non-academic professionals in all fields engaged in the study of human-environment relationships.

Through the online format of this journal, we strive to be on the cutting edge of technological innovations that aid in the dissemination of research in ecological and environmental anthropology. In addition to traditional written articles, we encourage submissions that take full advantage of the medium and push the boundaries of conventional scholarly communication, from audio/visual presentations to online symposia. Peer-reviewed submissions will present original research, critical reviews of published works, and new eco-cultural models and paradigms.
