- Biographical / Historical
- Honigmann was regularly in the field. In 1943, this began with an ethnographic study of the Fort Nelson Slave in Canada. In 1944-1945, he was with the Kaska in British Columbia. In 1947-1948, he worked at Attawapiskat on James Bay and, in 1949-1950, at Great Whale River on Hudson Bay. He investigated town life in Pakistan in 1952 and 1957-1958. During the summers of 1960-1962, 1964-1966, 1972, and 1975, his studies carried him to a village in Austria. In 1963, he worked at Frobisher Bay and in 1967 at Inuvik. 1914 -- Born June 7, New York City, New York 1937 -- Married Irma Grabel 1942 -- Student at Columbia University Received BA from Brooklyn College 1943 -- Received MA from Yale University Field trip with the Fort Nelson Slave in Fort Nelson (3-6 months) 1944-1945 -- Field trip with the Kaska in British Columbia, Canada (3-6 months) 1946-1947 -- Assistant professor of Sociology and anthropology at State College, Washington 1947 -- Received PhD in anthropology from Yale University 1947-1948 -- Field trip at Attawapiskat, James Bay, Ontario, Canada Research anthropologist for the National Committee for Community Health Studies in Toronto, Canada 1948-1951 -- Assistant professor of sociology and anthropology at New York University 1949 -- Published Anthropology, Culture and Ethos of the Kaska Society 1949-1950 -- Field trip at Great Whale River, Hudson's Bay, Ontario, Canada 1951-1955 -- Associate professor of anthropology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 1952 -- Field trip at Pakistan 1955 -- Field trip at Attawapiskat, James Bay, Ontario, Canada 1955-1957 -- Professor of anthropology, UNC, Chapel Hill 1957-1958 -- Field trip at Pakistan 1959 -- Published The World of Man 1960 -- Field trip at Austria 1962 -- Published Foodways in a Muskeg Community Field trip at Austria 1963 -- Published Understanding Culture Field trip at Frobishers Bay, Baffin Island, Canada 1964 -- Field trip at Austria 1965 -- With wife Irma, co-authored Eskimo Townsmen 1966 -- Field trip in Austria 1967 -- Published Personality in Culture Field trip at Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada 1967-1970 -- Postdoctoral fellowship and grants: NSF grant 1970 -- Co-authored Arctic Townsmen Chairman of the department of anthropology, UNC, Chapel Hill 1972 -- Field trip at Austria 1975 -- Field trip at Austria 1977 -- Died at Chapel Hill, NC, August 4
