Wenner-Gren Foundation Employee Directory

In January 2016, the Wenner-Gren Foundation will launch SAPIENS, an editorially independent online publication dedicated to popularizing anthropological research to a broad, public audience. The publication's goals are to serve as an authoritative source of information about anthropological research, make anthropology more accessible to the general... public, and demonstrate anthropology's relevance to everyday life. Through news coverage, features, commentaries, reviews, and more, SAPIENS provides a public platform foranthropological research as well as for anthropological insights into current events. The Wenner-Gren Foundation has undertaken this effort to celebrate its 75th year of supporting anthropology worldwide. Substantial resources have been invested in the publication, which will become a key part of the foundation's ongoing investment in the field. Just as the foundation's Current Anthropology has become a premier journal for academic dialogue, the company hope that SAPIENS will become the nexus for anthropology in the public sphere. SAPIENS will publish content that provides smart and surprising insights into human culture, language, biology, and history. We'll skip the dry and stuffy for witty and fun, fresh and incisive, authentic and down-to-earth. The company's aim is to deepen the company's readers' understanding of the human experience through exciting, novel, thought-provoking, and unconventional ideas that are grounded in anthropological research, theories, and thinking. Will you join the company? The company need your help in spreading the word of the site's launch to your colleagues, friends, and family. The company also hope you will consider writing for the company. The company want to ensure the site reflects the ideas, views, and work of the entire field-the company need your voice to be heard.Read More
