| Margaret Mead (1901–1978) was arguably the most prominent anthropologist of twentieth century US America (regardless of gender). She established herself between academia and the public. As a public intellectual, she was outspoken on many different issues from child rearing, sex roles and education to nutrition and social change, to name only a few. This article discusses how Mead was balancing her roles as a scientist and as a public intellectual. It explores her publication strategies, analyses her standing within the scientific community in the US, looks at an exemplary dispute with her friend and colleague Geoffrey Gorer, and, finally, examines her understanding of mass media and the public. I will argue that Mead knew how to skillfully handle the public, and, at the same time, had a sure feeling for the boundaries of science. | |
