[edit] Career
"After carrying out two years of field research on a ‘cargo cult’ in New Britain, Papua New Guinea in the late eighties, he developed a theory of ‘modes of religiosity’ that has been the subject of extensive critical evaluation and testing by anthropologists, historians, archaeologists, and cognitive scientists. In recent years, he has focused his energies on the development of collaborative programmes of research on cognition and culture." [1] Anthropologist Mary Douglas, in an interview with Alan Macfarlane, names Whitehouse as one of Britain's leading anthropologists [2]
