Biography / History
Louise Lamphere is a Distinguished Professor of Anthropology Emerita at the University of New Mexico and Past President of the American Anthropological Association. Lamphere is perhaps best-known as a founding mother of feminist anthropology, influencing decades of research within anthropology and related disciplines on issues of gender inequality and knowledge production.
During 2001-2002 she was a Visiting Scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation in New York City and was a Visiting Fellow in the Department of Anthropology at Princeton University in Fall 2007. Her first major publication was Woman, Culture and Society co-edited with Michelle Zimbalist Rosaldo (1974). And her book on Navajo family life, To Run After Them: The Social and Cultural Bases of Cooperation in a Navajo Community, was published in 1977. She has studied issues of women and work for 25 years, beginning with her study of women workers in Rhode Island industry, From Working Daughters to Working Mothers (1977). She also coauthored a study of working women in Albuquerque entitled Sunbelt Working Mothers: Reconciling Family and Factory (1993) with Patricia Zavella, Felipe Gonzales, and Peter Evans. She co-edited with Helena Ragone and Patricia Zavella a collection of articles entitled Situated Lives: Gender and Culture in Everyday Life (1997). In 2007, she shared authorship with the grandmother, mother and daughter of a Navajo family with which she had worked since the 1960s, producing “Weaving Women’s Lives: Three Generations in a Navajo Family,” that combined her scholarly and personal history.
In 2013, Lamphere was awarded the Franz Boas Award for exemplary service to Anthropology from the American Anthropological Association. The award is presented annually by the AAA to its members whose careers demonstrate extraordinary achievements that have served the anthropological profession. The Boas Award recognizes Association members who have made exceptional contributions to anthropology with respect to the increase and dissemination of humanistic and scientific knowledge and/or service to the profession. In 2017, she was awarded the Malinowski Award. This award recognizes the professional achievements of a senior scholar for a career in 'pursuit of the goal of solving human problems using the concepts and tools of the social sciences.'
