Anthropology of Work Review

Aims & Scope

The Anthropology of Work Review is an international forum for multidisciplinary research on work and labor in the broadest sense of those terms.

As the peer-reviewed journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Work, a section of the American Anthropological Association, AWR's mission is to facilitate ethnographically-informed discussions of work politics and practices, including struggles over the absence of work, as well as to promote dialogue around emerging theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches.

The journal welcomes submissions that concern all aspects of human and nonhuman labor, from inquiries into its structure and organization to novel propositions for rethinking its implications and emerging forms.
