The NAPA Bulletin series is dedicated to the practical
problem-solving and policy applications of anthropological
knowledge and methods. NAPA Bulletins are peer reviewed, and
are distributed free of charge as a benefit of NAPA membership. The
NAPA Bulletin seeks to:
* facilitate the sharing of information among practitioners,
academics, and students
* be a useful document for practitioners
* contribute to the professional development of anthropologists
seeking practitioner positions
* support the general interests of practitioners both within and
outside the academy
