Vulnerabilities and Exclusion in Globalization

Globalization is changing the context in which we work, the people we work with and the way in which applied researchers and practitioners address real world problems. The 70th Annual Meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology in Mérida, México will bring attention to the growing challenges facing applied practitioners in the 21st century, especially the effects of globalization on the peoples we work with resulting in higher levels of exclusion of vulnerable populations. How do these factors impact applied practice and social science research? Participants are encouraged to submit presentations, roundtables and workshops around this theme.
