Harvey Whitehouse is one of the most popular and richest Anthropologist who was born on January 9, 1964 in London, England, United Kingdom. Whitehouse is widely considered to be one of the pioneers of cognitive science of religion. After two years of fieldwork in New Britain, Papua New Guinea on a “cargo cult”, in the late 1980s, Whitehouse developed a theory about “modes of religion” that was subject to extensive criticism and testing by sociologists, archaeologists and historians.

Whitehouse’s published corpus contains a trio of books that outline his theory about modes of religiosity, and the dysphoric path to identity fusion.

Whitehouse has been focusing on trans-disciplinary collaborations since the beginning of the millennium. This includes ethnographic fieldwork and interviews as well as surveys in lab, field and online settings. Database construction and semantic network analysis are just some of the methods used. Whitehouse’s research program has expanded to include more than just religion and now examines the role of rituals in bringing people together and encouraging inter-group competition. Whitehouse, Scott Atran and John Alderdice are founding fellows of Oxford’s Centre for the Resolution of Intractable conflict at Harris Manchester College. Along with Peter Turchin, Pieter Francois, he is also the founding editor of Seshat: Global History Databank. Whitehouse has also worked with Quentin Atkinson and Amy Bogaard.
