American Ethnological Society

The American Ethnological Society (AES) is a scholarly organization dedicated to the study of human cultures and societies. Founded in 1842, it brings together anthropologists, researchers, and students who explore how people live, believe, and interact across different communities worldwide. The AES promotes the exchange of research, ideas, and methods to better understand human diversity and social processes. Through its publications, conferences, and initiatives, it supports the advancement of ethnology, helping us appreciate the complexity of human experience in various cultural contexts.
