ASAO
Association for Social
Anthropology in Oceania
The ASSOCIATION FOR SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY IN
OCEANIA (ASAO) is an international organization dedicated to
comparative studies of Pacific topics.
ASAO holds annual meetings with a special
format designed to facilitate discussion and develop topics for
publication.
ASAO has a monograph series
and a special
publication series. In addition
many other
publications have emerged from
ASAO sessions. For a comprehensive bibliography of publications that have resulted
from ASAO sessions, click here (pdf
format).
ASAO members participate on
ASAONET, an
electronic bulletin board (listserv) hosted by the University of
Illinois at Chicago.
ASAO supports the full participation of
Pacific Islanders through the Pacific Islands Scholars'
Fund.
ASAO also encourages members to return information to the island communities
from which they obtained it, in forms appropriate to and usable at the village
level, through a program called Grant to Return
Indigenous Knowledge to Pacific Islands Communities (GRIKPIC).

Pacific Islands Scholars'
Fund
ASAO is committed to providing a forum in
which Pacific Islanders can fully participate, and to that end has
established a Pacific Islands Scholars' Fund
(PISF) to help with the cost of
transportation to annual meetings. This is supported by
membership dues, royalties, and individual contributions from
ASAO members. ASAO is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation;
donations are tax-deductible. For more information about the
PISF, contact Keith Chambers, 715 Pennsylvania Ave, Ashland OR 97520,
