In 1975, after being denied tenure at Brown University and unsuccessfully pursuing an appeals process, Louise Lamphere sued the college in a landmark class-action case that charged Brown with sex discrimination. Following settlement, Lamphere would earn tenure at Brown before accepting another tenured position in New Mexico. Today Lamphere is a Distinguished Professor of Anthropology Emerita at the University of New Mexico and Past President of the American Anthropological Association. The papers of Louise Lamphere document Lamphere's career as an anthropologist and feminist scholar. Materials include biographical information, correspondence, drafts of publications, teaching and research files, and files related to academic conferences.Format(s):
