The Society for Applied Anthropology, or SFAA, was held in late March this year (2016) in Vancouver. The CIE had a series of events and panels including a double session on “Animating Anthropology” (co-organized by Denielle Elliott and Alex Boudreault-Fournier) with both faculty and student presenters – discussing cartoons, drawing, graphic novels and ethnographic fieldwork.
