Information trouvée : Karla Poewe (born 1941) is an anthropologist and historian. Currently Poewe is Professor
Emeritus in Anthropology at the University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada and
Adjunct Research Professor at Liverpool Hope University, Liverpool, England. Born
1941 in Königsberg, East Prussia, Poewe became a refugee at the age of three. Poewe
worked as an air hostess with Trans-Canada Airlines before entering the University
of Toronto where she won several prestigious scholarships.[4] Originally planning
to study medicine, she switched to Anthropology. After completing her B.A. she enrolled
in a Ph.D. program at the University of New Mexico where Harry Basehart was her thesis
supervisor. Poewe studied for a while with John Middleton at New York University and
learned Swahili and Bemba at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The fieldwork for
her Ph.D. thesis was carried out in Zambia. After the completion of her thesis she
taught for a year at the University of Toronto before moving to the University of
Lethbridge in Alberta. She then carried out further fieldwork funded by the Social
Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada in Namibia. During this time she
published her first book, Matrilineal Ideology (1981), followed by Reflections of
a Woman Anthropologist (1982). This book, which helped pioneer a new genre of anthropological
writing, was, at the publisher's insistence, published under the pseudonym Manda Cesara.
