About this listen
Margaret Mead (December 16, 1901-November 15, 1978) was an American cultural anthropologist, author and speaker, who appeared frequently in the mass media in the 1960s and 70s. She earned her bachelor's degree at Barnard College and her M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Columbia. Mead served as president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1975. Mead was a communicator of anthropology in modern American and Western culture and was often controversial as an academic. Her reports detailing the attitudes towards sex in South Pacific and Southeast Asian traditional cultures influenced the 1960s sexual revolution. She was a proponent of broadening sexual conventions within the context of Western cultural traditions. The following recording is from a 1959 tv interview.
