The Wenner-Gren Foundation has made the difficult decision to halt the creation of new content for SAPIENS Magazine at the end of 2025. It’s a decision we make with deep regret and respect for SAPIENS’ extraordinary impact, and one we are forced to make due to the unprecedented crisis facing our field.
We are so proud of all that SAPIENS has achieved. We want to thank everyone who has shared their support and appreciation for the magazine over the past several months. Since its launch in 2016, SAPIENS has elevated public understanding of anthropology and given hundreds of anthropologists the tools and platforms to reach broader audiences. It has won awards, influenced classrooms and policymakers, and been read by millions.
The threats to our field and the changing media landscape require new approaches. We’re launching a strategic review of how to rethink and enhance the way we communicate about our field to the wider world in this challenging time.
The SAPIENS website will remain live, and its content will remain accessible. We’ll be working with the magazine’s staff and SAPIENS United in the hopes of publishing as many pieces as possible before the end of the calendar year. We are dedicated to smoothing the transition for SAPIENS’ remaining staff in every way we can.
