Your financial assistance allows us to be responsive to contemporary issues:
SAR’s relevance in the contemporary world is enhanced by its ability to quickly respond to current events. When Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast less than a month before the Advanced Seminar on human displacement and resettlement, SAR quickly arranged to fly in Gregory Button, an anthropologist who had just returned from working with evacuees in the Houston Astrodome and could make the seminar’s discussions even more timely. When a drunk driver killed an employee, SAR turned tragedy into action by organizing a series of DWI workshops of such impact and relevance that they were featured in the New York Times.

The School for Advanced Research is unique among research institutions in providing a place where diverse knowledge is debated among peers, intelligently synthesized into writing, and published to inform scholarly and general audiences. We encourage curiosity, nurture dialogue, provoke thought, and tackle difficult topics. We are dedicated to these pursuits because they address issues at the forefront of our contemporary realities and have a real impact on our future.
If you know SAR, you already understand that what we do matters. But what you may not know is that we cannot continue our work without your financial help. Your contribution plays a crucial role in our ability to provide a dynamic environment for the study and communication of knowledge about human culture, evolution, history, and creative expression.
