The Center for Anthropology and Science Communications

CASC promotes the communication of anthropology through the media in a responsible and accurate way.

CASC's director, Merry Bruns, has worked to address these issues with special projects:

"Meet the Press: Science writers talk with anthropologists."
Workshops with local science writers and media experts, held at the AAA annual meetings.
Participants discuss problems in science communications, and the particular issues surrounding communicating anthropology-related material .
"Communicating Anthropology with the Web" workshops and sessions held at AAA's annual meetings.

Academic sessions, talks and workshops on communicating anthropology held at anthropology conferences worldwide.

Founded in 1987, CASC (formerly CAJ, The Center for Anthropology and Journalism), has included anthropologists who have worked in a variety of media-related fields, scientific organizations that advance public understanding of science, and branches of Applied Anthropology.
