(about 2 hours later)
The social anthropologist Sir Jack Goody gained a BLitt in 1952 at Oxford, under Edward Evans-Pritchard, rather than a doctorate. That came two years later at Cambridge, with Meyer Fortes, and Goody wrote perceptively about both figures in The Expansive Moment: The Rise of Social Anthropology in Britain and Africa 1918-70, published in 1995.The social anthropologist Sir Jack Goody gained a BLitt in 1952 at Oxford, under Edward Evans-Pritchard, rather than a doctorate.

In 1983 he helped to initiate the archive of 250 or so sound and film recordings of leading anthropologists and others that has been carried forward by his friend and colleague Alan Macfarlane as part of the Cambridge Rivers Project, named after an earlier pioneer of the discipline, WHR Rivers. Goody himself was interviewed in 1991 by his friend since undergraduate days at St John’s College, Eric Hobsbawm.In 1983 he helped to initiate the archive of 250 or so sound and film recordings of leading anthropologists and others that has been carried forward by his friend and colleague Alan Macfarlane as part of the Cambridge Rivers Project, named after an earlier pioneer of the discipline, WHR Rivers.
