Richard Guy "Rick" Condon (January 16, 1952 – September 7, 1995) was an American anthropologist who specialized in the study of Inuit. He was curator of the Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum and editor of the international journal, Arctic Anthropology.[2]
Early years
Condon was born in Plainfield, New Jersey, United States. In 1974, he received a bachelor's degree in anthropology from Rutgers University, and in 1981, he received a Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh. His dissertation was entitled, Inuit behavior and seasonal change: a study of behavioral ecology in the central Canadian Arctic.
Career
His anthropological research included the people of Holman (Ulukhaktok, Northwest Territories, Victoria Island, Canada), northern Alaska, and Baffin Island.
Condon became associate editor for Arctic Anthropology in 1989, and worked to translate and publish Russian works in the journal.[3]
He was an associate professor at the University of Arkansas from 1992 until his death.
