content: This series is comprised of material related to Michiko Takaki's educational, administrative, and professional associational life as an anthropology student at Yale University and professor at the University of Massachusetts, Boston. It includes research grants and proposals; drafts and copies of publications and presentations; associational membership correspondence and applications; inventories of volumes, maps, and artifacts; address and agenda books; course documents; annotated research papers by anthropological colleagues; and curriculum vitae.

The series also contains material related to Takaki's M.A. degree in journalism at Southern Illinois University and her Ph.D. in anthropology at Yale University, notably unbound copies of her master's thesis, "A Case Study of Cross-Cultural Communication: Some Aspects of the Psychological Warfare as Applied by the United States against Japan during the World War II" (1960) and a bound copy of her doctoral dissertation, "Aspects of Exchange in a Kalinga Society, Northern Luzon" (1977). It also contains page proofs of the unpublished manuscript based on her dissertation, "Exchange in Kalinga: Economic Relations in Traditional Society" (1990).

Of particular note in this series are Takaki's tenure application documents, including her graduate transcripts (circa 1972-1978) and her tenure dossier from UMass-Boston (1980), which includes her colleagues' assessment of the value and depth of her fieldwork. Also included in this series is an oral history of Takaki's field experience and thoughts as a Japanese student, female anthropologist, and outsider among the Kalinga ("Kalinga story," 2006-2011).
