Anthropological associations face significant challenges adapting their characteristics to the changing contexts in which they develop their primary purposes. Organized to preserve their members' academic and professional interests, they must also care about their links with institutions, social organizations, cultural groups, and even the State. New social, economic, political, and cultural problems force anthropologists to open new ways of understanding, new professional practices, and new exigencies to their organizational options. This paper reflects on the influence of a changing context in the proposals and modalities onboarding relevant issues for the Mexican College of Ethnologists and Social Anthropologists (CEAS). It focuses on issues that split the positions of its members according to their gender, sex, ethnicity, and, mainly, their political standpoints. Two central problems emerge: gender-based violence and inclusion-permanence in the labor market. For this purpose, it is essential to recognize that the movement started in Mexico in the 1960s, from a discipline directly linked to the State to a plural and heterogeneous one, is on the move, defied by profound social changes in the contemporary local, national, and globalized context. New problems require new theoretical, political, and practical solutions. Consequently, Mexican female, male, non-binary, indigenous, Afro-Mexican, and an increasing number of anthropologists who develop their professional activities from their political identity standpoints are creating academic and job alternatives, confronting the conventional rules of anthropological associations as CEAS.
