Timeline

1959

Tanya Marie Luhrmann (born 1959) is an American psychological anthropologist known for her studies of modern-day witches, charismatic Christians, and studies of how culture shapes psychotic, dissociative, and related experiences.

She has also studied culture and morality, and the training of psychiatrists.

She is Watkins University Professor in the Anthropology Department at Stanford University.

Luhrmann was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 2022.

1981

Luhrmann received her A.B., summa cum laude, in Folklore and Mythology from Harvard-Radcliffe in 1981, working with Stanley Tambiah.

She then studied social anthropology at Cambridge University, working with Jack Goody and Ernest Gellner.

1986

In 1986 she received her PhD for work on modern-day witches in England, later published as Persuasions of the Witch's Craft (1989).

In this book, she described the ways in which magic and other esoteric techniques both serve emotional needs and come to seem reasonable through the experience of practice.

Her second research project looked at the situation of contemporary Parsis, a Zoroastrian community in India.

The Parsi community enjoyed a privileged position under the British Raj; although by many standards, Parsis continued to do well economically in post-colonial India, they have become politically marginal in comparison to their previous position.

1989

Tanya Luhrmann was a faculty member in Anthropology at the University of California, San Diego, from 1989 to 2000.

1990

During Luhrmann's fieldwork in the 1990s, many Parsis spoke pessimistically about the future of their community.

Her third book explored the contradictions and tensions between two models of psychiatry, the psychodynamic (psychoanalytic) and the biomedical, through the ethnographic study of the training of American psychiatry residents during the health care transition of the early 1990s.

1996

Luhrmann's book The Good Parsi (1996) explored the contradictions inherent in the social psychology of a post-colonial elite.

2000

Of Two Minds (2000) received several awards, including the Victor Turner Prize for Ethnographic Writing and the Boyer Prize for Psychological Anthropology (2001).

From 2000 to 2007, she was Max Palevsky Professor in the Department of Comparative Human Development at the University of Chicago, where she was also a director of the program in clinical ethnography.

2003

She was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2003, president of the Society for Psychological Anthropology for 2008.

2004

She has received awards for scholarship, including the American Anthropological Association's President's award for 2004 and a 2007 Guggenheim award.

2006

In 2006, Luhrmann delivered the Lewis Henry Morgan Lecture at the University of Rochester.

Tanya Luhrmann was raised in New Jersey.

She has two sisters, including children's book author Anna Dewdney.

Luhrmann is married to interim Stanford University president Richard Saller.

2007

Since 2007, she has been a professor of anthropology at Stanford University.

2012

Her fourth book, When God Talks Back: Understanding the American Evangelical Relationship with God (March 2012), examines the growing movement of evangelical and charismatic Christianity, and specifically how practitioners come to experience God as someone with whom they can communicate on a daily basis through prayer and visualization.

It was the focus of a book review symposium in Religion, Brain & Behavior.

Her other projects include a NIMH-funded study of how chronical or periodic homelessness contributes to the experience and morbidity of schizophrenia.
