 John Terrell, Ph.D.
Regenstein Curator of Pacific Anthropology
The Field Museum
Dr. John Terrell is The Field Museum’s Regenstein Curator of Pacific Anthropology, as well as Adjunct Professor of Anthropology at both the University of Illinois at Chicago and Northwestern University.
Since 1990, he has conducted research on the Sepik Coast of Papua New Guinea to understand the relationship between the natural environment and human settlement and survival in this geologically unstable and disaster-prone area.
 He curates The Field Museum’s A. B. Lewis Collection, which includes extensive ethnographic materials representing the southwest Pacific as well as archival and photographic documentation of the early colonial history of Melanesia. Terrell uses the Lewis Collection and other ethnological collections from northern New Guinea as the basis for researching human diversity and modern change among communities in this part of the South Pacific, as well as the area’s prehistory.
