Abstract

Emeritus Professor of Social Anthropology, Cambridge University, is (Hon.) Life President of the UK Association of Social Anthropologists (ASA).  She is probably best known for The gender of the gift (1988), a critique of theories of society and gender relations applied to Melanesia, which she pairs with After nature (1992), a comment on the UK under Thatcher.  Her most recent book, Before and after gender (2016), is also one of her first, unpublished since the early 1970s. Papua New Guinea is never far from her concerns, the last visit to Mt Hagen being in 2015.
