Annual Elizabeth Colson Lecture

The Elizabeth Colson lecture has been held annually since 1989 in honour of Elizabeth Colson, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley. She was one of a group of academics who played an important role in consolidating the RSC in its early years, working closely with the founding director Dr Barbara Harrell-Bond.

A podcast of an interview with Elizabeth Colson is available on FMO.
