Introduction to Society

The Finnish Anthropological Society

The Finnish Anthropological Society is a learned society founded in 1975. The core function of the Society is to promote research of high quality in the fields of anthropology and disciplines closely related to anthropology. The Society also creates public venues for discussing and disseminating anthropological knowledge and aims at consolidating the identity of anthropologists working in Finland.

The Society publishes the peer-reviewed journal Suomen Antropologi: Journal of the Finnish Anthropological Society. Recently the Society has also launched a new book series, Studia Fennica Anthropologica, in collaboration with the Finnish Literature Society.

Membership of the Finnish Anthropological Society is granted to applicants who have studied either anthropology or related disciplines. The Society also accepts as members applicants with a college or university degree who are interested in anthropology, or whose professional training or employment are related to anthropological research. In addition, the Society accepts support memberships.
