Anthropologist and Professor Sir John (Jack) Rankine Goody has been a fellow of St John’s College, Cambridge since 1961. He received his knighthood in 2005, the same year he was inducted as a member of the National Academy of Sciences in the US. He started his career as an anthropologist with fieldwork in an African village, where he became a friend of the ancestors. Since then Professor Goody has opened up several new fields of study tackling themes as diverse as the impact of writing on societies, cooking, the culture of flowers, the family, feminism and the contrast between eastern and western cultures. Now in his 80s and officially retired, he continues to write and study, giving seminars and speaking at conferences with a mixture of spontaneity and brilliance which captivates and inspires his audience.
