History of Palestinian Sociological and Anthropological Association (PSAA)
An association of sociologists and Palestinian human scientists, the Palestinian Sociological and Anthropological Association is based at the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences of Birzeit University in Palestine.
According to Palestine’s statute on charities, the organization had its debut in 2016. Doctoral candidates in sociology and anthropology are also members of the society, along with professors and researchers from several institutions who work on sociological and anthropological projects both within and outside of Palestine.
The association’s motto and logo, which are meant to be a seal and a sign of love and acceptance, were both inspired by the Tawfiq Kanaan collection.
