The ASSOCIATION FOR SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY IN OCEANIA (ASAO) is an international organization dedicated to comparative studies of Pacific topics.

ASAO has a book 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).

Many ASAO members participate on ASAONET, a listserv hosted by the University of Illinois at Chicago. ASAO also publishes a newsletter three times per year. 

ASAO supports the full participation of Pacific Islanders through the Pacific Islands Scholars Award (PISA).

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).
