Regina Flannery Herzfeld (December 1904 – November 26, 2004) was an American anthropologist. She was a professor of anthropology at the Catholic University of America (CUA) from 1935 to 1971, and editor of Anthropological Quarterly from 1949 to 1963.

Early life and education

[edit]

Regina Flannery was born in Washington, D.C., the daughter of Martin Markham Flannery and Regina Fowler Flannery. She attended a Catholic high school, and graduated from Trinity College in Washington, D.C. She earned a master's degree in anthropology from the Catholic University of America in 1931, and completed her doctoral studies there in 1938.[1]

Career

[edit]

In 1935, Flannery was the first laywoman to join the faculty of CUA. She was an anthropology professor there, and a full professor from 1953[2] until her retirement in 1971; she was chair of the anthropology department from 1953 to 1969, the first woman to be a department head at CUA.[3][4][5]

Flannery's research involved studies of the Cree, Gros Ventre, Montagnais, and Mesaclero Apache cultures, especially marriage and social customs affecting women's and children's lives.[6][7] She was editor of Anthropological Quarterly from 1949 to 1963.[1] She was president of the Anthropology Society of Washington, and secretary of the American Anthropological Association.[8]

CUA hosts an annual Regina Flannery Herzfeld symposium in her memory.[25] Some of her papers, including field notes, are in the archives at CUA.[26] Scientist and defense researcher Charles M. Herzfeld was her nephew.[27]
