- Summary
- Laura Maud Thompson was an American social anthropologist best known for her studies of CHamoru culture in Guam. She studied many cultures around the world, including Native American nations, with the self-professed aim of "trying to build an integrated theory of human group behavior that was grounded in actual behavior and relied on rigorous methods of verification to ensure reliability." She was the recipient of the 1979 Bronislaw Malinowski Award from the Society for Applied Anthropology. Wikipedia
