Timeline

1901

Lucy Philip Mair (28 January 1901 – 1 April 1986) was a British anthropologist.

She wrote on the subject of social organization, and contributed to the involvement of anthropological research in governance and politics.

Her work on colonial administration was influential.

1923

Mair read Classics at Newnham College, Cambridge, graduating with a BA in 1923.

1927

In 1927 she joined the LSE, studying social anthropology under Bronisław Malinowski, and commenced ethnographic fieldwork in Uganda in 1931.

1932

At Malinowski's direction she spent her time in Uganda studying social change, returning to the UK in 1932 to submit her dissertation and receive her PhD. For her doctorate she did field research among the BaGanda people of Uganda, and in 1934 published her findings as An African People in the Twentieth Century, a title that encompassed her academic focus related to problems of change and development.

She began lecturing at LSE the same year.

1934

After publishing An African People in the Twentieth Century (1934), Mair received another fellowship, from the International African Institute, for a field trip in the mandated territory of North Western Tanganyika (Tanzania) for 1936–1937.

During that time she was also approached to work for the Chatham House Africa Research Survey.

On the eve of World War II, her teaching covered "topics all central to British colonial strategy in the context of rival empires and anti-colonial resistance."

She later joined the Royal Institute for International Affairs with the outbreak of World War II.

1936

Mair was throughout her working life closely involved with the Royal Anthropological Institute: after winning the RAI Wellcome medal in 1936 she was the Hon Secretary from 1974 to 1978 and the vice-president for the year 1978–9.

1943

In 1943 she moved to the Ministry of Information, then at the war's end took a job training Australian administrators for work in Papua New Guinea.

1946

In 1946 Mair returned to LSE as reader in colonial administration, commencing a second readership (in applied anthropology) in 1952.

1962

Primitive Government, first published in 1962, discusses political patronage in relation to state formation and is cited by over 160 academic works.

1963

In 1963 she became a professor, a post she held until retirement in 1968.

According to one obituary, "Perhaps her best- known work in this field was on land tenure and local political organisation, which she rightly saw as factors which must be understood in detail before plans and programmes for change stand any hope of success.".

1964

In 1964 she was made president of Section N of the British Association for the Advancement of Science.

1967

She gave the 1967 Frazer Lecture at Cambridge University.

Mair published books and papers throughout her life.

1997

After her death, the RAI instituted the Lucy Mair Medal for Applied Anthropology in 1997 to commemorate her.
