Timeline
Barbara Helen Tedlock (born September 9, 1942- September 11,2023) was an American cultural anthropologist and oneirologist.
She was a Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at the State University of New York, Buffalo.
Her work explores cross-cultural understanding and communication of dreams, ethnomedicine, and aesthetics and focuses on the indigenous Zuni of the Southwestern United States and the Kʼicheʼ Maya of Mesoamerica.
Through her study and practice of the healing traditions of the Kʼicheʼ Maya of Guatemala, Tedlock became initiated into shamanism.
She was the collaborator and wife of the late anthropologist and poet Dennis Tedlock.
Barbara Helen Tedlock was born in Battle Creek, Michigan, to Byron Taylor and Mona Gerteresse (O'Connor) McGrath.
Tedlock earned a Bachelor's degree in Rhetoric from the University of California, Berkeley in 1967.
In 1973, she earned a Master's in Anthropology and Ethnomusicology from Wesleyan University.

In 1987, Tedlock joined the State University of New York, Buffalo anthropology faculty.
That same year, she edited Dreaming: Anthropological and Psychological Interpretations, an anthology significant for presenting cross-cultural perspectives on dreaming.
The collection featured cultural perspectives that challenge the typical Western conception of dreaming as a phenomenon existing completely separate from objective reality.
Tedlock examined how linguistic conventions mediate the performance and interpretation of dream experience.
She explored how communications about dreams reveal patterns and variations around how different cultures perceive the role and significance of dreaming.
For example, the Kʼicheʼ Maya people use the first-person pronoun "I" to narrate dreams with the understanding that this "I" does not necessarily relate to the conscious self of the dream teller.
Likewise, the use of third person pronouns, particularly in relating negative dreams, communicates distance between the dream teller and the experience of the dream self.
Tedlock rejected the existence of any hard boundary between anthropologist and the peoples with whom they interact in the field.
She advocated for narrative ethnography as a methodological innovation that honored and more accurately represented the intertwining, interdependent relationship between anthropologist and the subjects of their research.
Time and the Highland Maya (1992)
From 1993 to 1997, Tedlock, with collaborator and husband Dennis Tedlock, edited American Anthropologist, the American Anthropological Association's flagship journal.
In 1998, she became the chair of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Buffalo.
Tedlock serves on the Anthropology and Humanism advisory board.
