Anthropologist wins fellowship
The seventh Captain James Cook Fellowship has been awarded to an Auckland anthropologist, Dr Anne Salmond, the Royal Society of New Zealand has announced. Dr Salmond is a senior lecturer in social anthropology and Maori studies at the University of Auckland. She was awarded the fellowship from 83 applicants throughout the world representing many branches of science. She will take up the fellowship next March.
Dr Salmond was born in New Zealand, educated at Auckland University and Pennsylvania University, and has spent many years attempting to rethink concepts of early Maori life by going back to the accounts of the first European visitors to New Zealand. She intends to write a book on the results of her research, entitled "Two Worlds: The First Meeting of Maori and European.” The fellowship was es-
tablished by the New Zealand Government to commemorate the bicentenary of the explorer’s first landing on New Zealand shores in 1769.
The fellowship is intended to perpetuate Captain Cook’s spirit of scientific inquiry and exploration in New Zealand and the south-west Pacific.
