Biography
Donald Tuzin was born in Chicago, Illinois on June 14, 1945. His father, who was then in the Army, moved the family to an
Army base in California and then to Winona, Minnesota. It was there that Don enjoyed, in his words, a "Huck Finn-esque" childhood
on the banks of the Mississippi. The family later returned to Chicago, where Tuzin attended Von Steuben High School and also
met his future wife Beverly Chodd.
Tuzin attended Western Reserve University (BA in Anthropology, 1967). It is likely that his initial interest in anthropology
was sparked while participating in an archeological dig of Native American Mound Builder sites with Harvard-trained archeologist
Olaf Prufer. Tuzin earned his MA from Case Western Reserve in 1968 and went on to post-graduate studies at the University
of London. His intent was to study East Africa, but after meeting social anthropologist Phyllis Kaberry, Tuzin turned his
attention to the Sepik region of Papua New Guinea.
In 1969, Tuzin, at the suggestion of anthropologist Anthony Forge, decided to do fieldwork in Ilahita, an Arapesh-speaking
village in what was then the East Sepik District of New Guinea. Before going to the field he began to learn the Arapesh language,
tutored by anthropologist Reo Fortune. Margaret Mead was an advocate and supporter of Tuzin's work in the region where she
had earlier worked with another Arapesh group. Tuzin conducted his first Papua New Guinea field studies from 1969-1971, returning
briefly to the field again in 1972. His research was supported by a scholarship in the Department of Anthropology of the Research
School of Pacific Studies at Australian National University. It was a ANU that Tuzin forged an important professional relationship
with Derek Freeman, who agreed to be Tuzin's doctoral fieldwork advisor.
After completing his doctoral degree in 1972, Tuzin applied to UC San Diego and was hired as an assistant professor in 1973.
Tuzin's anthropological ideology was driven by methodological individualism and comparativism. He was interested in studying
many topics of social and psychological anthropology including dreams, food symbolism, kinship, myth, politics, ritual and
symbolism, and sexuality. Tuzin authored several books documenting his fieldwork in Papua New Guinea. His first,
The Ilahita Arapesh: Dimensions of Unity (1976) sought to explain Ilahita society's dual-organization. His next book,
The Voice of the Tambaran (1980), described the rituals of the male cult.
In 1985 Tuzin returned to Ilahita with his family and three UC San Diego graduate students for eleven months. Tuzin found
Ilahita society greatly changed, as a majority of the villagers had recently converted to Christianity. This experience informed
Tuzin's major ethnographic work
The Cassowary's Revenge: The Life and Death of Masculinity in a New Guinea Society (1997).
Tuzin was committed to teaching and university life at UC San Diego while becoming one of the world's leading scholarly authorities
on Melanesian society and culture. He chaired both the Department of Anthropology as well as the Academic Senate, he served
on the Friends of the UC San Diego Library Board of Directors, the Faculty Club Board of Directors and was a member of the
University House Task Force. He also served as an Associate Chancellor to UC President Richard Atkinson. In 1982, Tuzin, along
with Fitz John Porter Poole, co-founded UC San Diego's Melanesian Archive, a leading repository of unique research materials
relating to the ethnographic and anthropological work of scholars of Melanesian cultures. In 2012, in honor of Tuzin's contributions
to the Archive, it was re-named the Tuzin Archive for Melanesian Anthropology. Tuzin was collaborating with Pacific historian
Peter Hempenstall on a biography of his friend and mentor Derek Freeman when he passed away in 2007.

PAPUA NEW GUINEA FIELDWORK RESEARCH
Scope and Content of Series
Series 3) PAPUA NEW GUINEA FIELDWORK RESEARCH. Arranged in three subseries: A) Notebooks, B) Topical Notebooks, and C) Research.
A) Numbered Notebooks: Arranged by date. Notebooks contain Tuzin's daily handwritten entries, recording information on village
events, conversations, formal interview sessions with informants and other studies. The journals document both of Tuzin's
fieldwork sessions in Papua New Guinea from 1969-1971 and 1985. Included is his field notes index, which corresponds with
the numbered notebooks.
B) Topical Notebooks: Notebooks focused on specific topics of life in Ilahita, including extensive information on genealogies
and interviews with the villagers.
C) Research: Compilations of notes taken by Tuzin, as well as population data reports and some early research papers. Also
of interest are children's drawings from Papua New Guinea and two bullroarers made by villagers and given to Tuzin. Materials
from his graduate studies include Tuzin's thesis proposals, and research and writing outlines.
