Introducing the AJEC Blog!

Academic Research in the Anthropology of Europe

Berghahn Journals is delighted to announce the Anthropological Journal of European Cultures (AJEC) Blog! This blog will highlight the research of authors published in AJEC by giving them space to reflect on different aspects of their research and include photos and stories not included in their scholarly journal article. It will additionally introduce readers to the editors of the Journal by way of short interviews, giving readers insight into the AJEC and giving the editors opportunity to offer sage advice on the submission process, particularly for early career anthropologists.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE WORLD’S INDIGENOUS PEOPLE

August 9, 2019

The United Nations’ International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples is observed on August 9 each year to honor the estimated 370 million indigenous people around the world. The day was established to recognize the first meeting of the United Nations Working Group on Indigenous Populations held in Geneva in 1982.

This year’s theme is indigenous languages. While indigenous people speak the majority of the world’s estimated 7,000 languages, the UN estimates that every two weeks an indigenous language disappears, threatening the survival of the respective cultures and knowledge systems. This day’s goal is to “draw attention to the critical loss of indigenous language and the urgent need to preserve, revitalize, and promote them at both national and international levels.”

For more information, please visit UN.org or keep reading to view our featured titles.

In recognition, Berghahn Journals is offering full access to Sibirica until August 16. To access, use promo code IDP19. View redemption instructions.
