Berkeley anthropology emeritus lecture series

by on July 15th, 2006

I’ve been thinking about the Manchester school lately. My mantra for the fall is: Have We Really Thought Enough About Max Gluckman? (I am not the only person who thinks the answer is “no”:http://www.berghahnbooks.com/title.php?rowtag=EvensManchester)

In the course of thinking about this I ran across Berkeley’s “anthropology emeritus lecture series”:http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/Anthro/index.html, which has a ton of of great stuff available about prominent anthropologists. The entry on “Elizabeth Colson”:http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/Anthro/colson/index.html is particularly good.

Alex Golub is an assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. He studies mining and petroleum development in Papua New Guinea, as well as American culture in to the online game World of Warcraft. You can contact him at rex@savageminds.org

    Rex, this is a great idea. Following you lead I Googled “Max Gluckman” and found a lot of stuff. One site I believe will be particularly good for people unfamiliar with Gluckman is this one.
