Members of the Evolution, Biology and Society Section of ASA may be interested in the Society for Cross Cultural Research. The SCCR meets February 20-23, 2008, at Le Pavillion Hotel in New Orleans. The deadline for submitting abstracts is November 20, 2007.

The Society for Cross-Cultural Research (SCCR) was founded in 1971 as a multi-disciplinary organization devoted to encouraging comparative research. Comparative analysis, broadly defined, includes research comparing “traditional” cultures, modern nations, ethnic groups, research that applies a comparative framework to a particular group or culture, and theoretical contributions aimed at a comparative understanding. Biosocial theory and research especially lend themselves to a comparative perspective.

Annual meetings occur each February, and are currently held jointly with the Society for Anthropological Sciences, another group interested in comparative analysis.
