The NAPA Bulletin series is dedicated to the practical problem-solving and policy applications of anthropological knowledge and methods. NAPA Bulletins are peer reviewed, and are distributed free of charge as a benefit of NAPA membership. The NAPA Bulletin seeks to:

  • facilitate the sharing of information among practitioners, academics, and students
  • be a useful document for practitioners
  • contribute to the professional development of anthropologists seeking practitioner positions
  • support the general interests of practitioners both within and outside the academy
