With the launch of HAU's inaugural issue, we announce the foundation of HAU-N.E.T., Network of Ethnographic Theory, an international network of research centres and anthropology departments working together to support the journal HAU, along with its two innovative book series, Classics in Ethnographic Theory and Masterclasses.

HAU will be launching this Fall. Our fine inaugural issue includes a themed section on Archaeologies of Kin(g)ship, edited by Giovanni da Col (Cambridge) and Stephane Gros (CNRS), and contributions by Marshall Sahlins, David Graeber, Chris Gregory, Roy Wagner, Annemarie Mol, Laura Nader and others. The issue will also present an extraordinary series of inedited, newly translated and reprinted manuscripts by Edmund Leach, Marilyn Strathern, Maurice Godelier, and Julian Pitt-Rivers amongst others.
