Marilyn Strathern, DBE, FBA
Mistress of Girton College and William Wyse Professor of Social Anthropology in the University; Honorary Fellow of Trinity College. First an undergraduate and then a research student at Girton, she has held appointments in Canberra (ANU), Port Moresby, UC Berkeley (visiting) and Manchester University.Papua New Guinea has been a principal area of fieldwork, from 1964 to most recently in 1997, but she has also written on British anthropology ('at home').
Initial work on gender relations led in two directions: feminist scholarship & the new reproductive technologies (1980s-1990s), and legal systems & intellectual and cultural property (1970s, 1990-00s).This is not the place to list publications; she enjoys writing.
She has been Presidential Chair of the European Association of Social Anthropologists, and a Trustee of the National Museums & Galleries on Merseyside. Under 'applied anthropology' she would put her current positions on the Nuffield Council on Bioethics & on the Government's working party to consider issues around the repatriation of human remains. She is also currently chair of the PhD committee in the Department of Social Anthropology, where she teaches.
