Valentine Gets Mellon Award
Charles A. Valentine, assistant professor of anthropology, has received an Andrew Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship for advanced study and research next year at the University of Pittsburgh.
Dr. Valentine, who joined the KU faculty in 1958, will base his research on field work he conducted in New Britain within the Territory of New Guinea in two periods of eight months each in 1954 and 1956.
In the intervening time, Dr. Valentine worked at Australian National University at Canberra on a two-year Fulbright grant which covered his field research.
The Mellon fellowship carries a stipend of $6,000 for 11 months, with supplements for travel, incidental costs of research and dependents.
The title of Dr. Valentine's project is "Method and Theory in the Study of Religion and Cultural Change, with Data from Melanesia and Comparative Materials."
Specifically, he is studying the role of religion in the over-all process of social and cultural change in the lives of the Lakalai people of New Britain.
Dr. Valentine received his B.S. in 1951.M.A. in 1953 and Ph.D. in anthropology in 1958. All degrees were earned at the University of Pennsylvania.
