This journal is a publication of the East European Anthropology Group

European Anthropology Group is a professional network of the Society for the
Anthropology of Europe (SAE) and the American Anthropological Association
(AAA). It holds its annual meeting in conjunction with that of the American
Anthropological Association, during which policy for this journal is
established by the membership.

meeting is open only to members of the AAA, SAE, EEAG or invited guests.
The AEER serves the membership of this network by publishing research and
scholarly papers on issues of rapid cultural change in East European
societies. In addition, AEER serves as the publication vehicle for SOYUZ,

The value of the work published in AEER is its timeliness. It's purpose is

The journal welcomes submissions from scholars actively researching cultural
issues in Eastern Europe. In the past the journal has published the work of
sociologists, political scientists, historians, folklorists, and
ethnographers, as well as anthropologists. These articles are not submitted
for outside review, but the context of the research must be carefully
