Early life and educationAudrey was the second of four girls born to a well-connected family in London, England.[4] Her father, Sir Henry Erle Richards, was posted in Calcutta, India, where she spent her early childhood, and later from 1911 to 1922 was Chichele Professor of Public International Law at Oxford. Richards was educated at Downe House School and Newnham College, Cambridge, where she read biology. She served as a relief worker in Germany for two years before returning to England and beginning graduate work. She received her doctorate in 1931 from the London School of Economics, where she was supervised by Malinowski. Academic careerThough she was widely regarded for her academic accomplishments, Richards never held a chair in anthropology. She held lectureships at the London School of Economics, the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa, and the University of London. She also held various positions in the Colonial Office, participating in the formation of the Colonial Social Science Research Council (1944). In 1950 she became the first director of the East African Institute of Social Research (Makerere College, Kampala, Uganda). In 1956, Richards returned to her alma mater Newnham College, Cambridge, where she had been elected a fellow.[5] From 1956 to 1967, she was also director of the African Studies Centre at the University of Cambridge.[5] She was Smuts Reader in Anthropology at Cambridge between 1961 and 1967.[5] She served as president of the Royal Anthropological Institute and as the second President of the African Studies Association of the UK, 1964-65. ResearchRichards went to Zambia (then Northern Rhodesia) in 1930.[2] She conducted fieldwork in 1930-31, 1933–34,[6] and 1957. where she worked primarily among the Bemba. Later, Richards worked in the Transvaal region of South Africa in 1939-40 and in Uganda intermittently between 1950 and 1955. She later carried out an ethnographic study of the village of Elmdon, Essex, England, where she lived for many years. Audrey Richards' careful studies of daily life set a new standard for field research and opened a door for nutritional anthropology by concentrating on practical problems and working interdisciplinarily. Richards is probably best known for her work Chisungu (1956), a study of girls' initiation rites. She is also regarded as a founder of the field of nutritional anthropology. HonoursRichards received the C.B.E. in 1955 and became a fellow of the British Academy in 1967. She was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1974.[7] In later life, she lived in Highsett, Cambridge. She died in 1984 near Midhurst, West Sussex, England.
