The Society for Economic Anthropology (SEA) is a group of anthropologists, archaeologists, economists, geographers and other scholars interested in the connections between economics and social life. Its members take a variety of approaches to economics: some have a substantivist perspective, while others are interested in the new institutional economics. Every year the SEA holds a spring meeting focused on a specific topic in economic anthropology. A volume of articles is also produced annually, based on the meeting.
The society was founded in 1980. Harold K. Schneider served as the first president, from 1980 until 1982.
