Gough, Kathleen, 1925-

Kathleen Gough was born in England and trained as an anthropologist in both Cambridge and Oxford Universities. She received her Ph.D. in 1950. Her extensive research fieldwork in India (Kerala, 1947-1949) and (Tanjore District, 1950-1953) forms the basis for much of her subsequent published work. Her books include: "Ten Times More Beautiful: The Rebuilding of Vietnam" (1978), "Rural Society in Southeast India" (1981), "Rural Change in Southeast India, 1950's-1980's" (1989), and "Political Economy in Vietnam" (1990). Her most prominent teaching positions included Brandeis University (1961-1963), the University of Oregon (1963-1967) and Simon Fraser University (1967-1970). In each instance, her deeply held political views in part precipitated her leaving these posts. From 1974 until her death, Gough held the rank of Honourary Research Associate at the University of British Columbia.
