Ugh, it is with a heavy heart that colleagues and I just cancelled two panels for this year's conference by @americananthro.bsky.social . Travel to the US is simply too risky for several of us. We will look for alternative venues & maybe future AAAs could be hybrid again.

The US admin cites high percentages of visa overstays as a reason for travel bans, but the targeted countries account for just 0.3% of all overstays.
