| 520 | 2 | |a The Michael Kenny Papers consists largely of his research and class notes, but also contains significant documentation on his career at CUA as well as his writing and publishing work. Series 1 contains the most documentation of Kenny's research and classroom work. Since there is a noticeable overlap between his classroom and research work, these papers are included in one series. Some of the material is in Spanish, but the majority is in English. Information on Kenny's work in other countries includes extensive documentation of his work in Mexico with Centro de Investigaciones Superiores del INAH. The bulk of the materials include files on Spanish culture both in Spain and in Latin America. Kenny also collected information on D.C. issues such as immigration and urban infrastructure. There are notes from his research trips as well as printed material on particular events. The final three boxes in this series contain extensive bibliographical notes from his research both in English and in Spanish. Much of the material from his class notes relates to the course he taught on witchcraft and magic at CUA. The classroom materials also include graded papers and grade sheets which are considered confidential student records. | |

In the Second World War, he served in the Mediterranean as an officer in Britain's Indian Army. He and his wife, Laura, had three children: Hal Jose, Ana Pilar, and Michael Patrick. He managed a theater in London's West End, taught at Oxford and in Spain, and joined the faculty of The Catholic University of America in 1959. At CUA, he was Assistant Professor from 1959, Associate Professor from 1962, and Ordinary Professor from 1966. He was a member of the university's President's Advisory Committee on University Planning, chaired Latin American studies committees, and was a trustee of the Consortium of Washington Universities. As the Editor of the Anthropology Quarterly, past president of the Washington Anthropological Society, and a fellow of the American Anthropological Association and the Society for Applied Anthropology, Kenny was internationally recognized for his contributions to the field of Ibero-American Studies. His A Spanish Tapestry: Town and Country in Castile (1961) was widely praised and went through many editions. He also served on grant review boards for the Fulbright program and the National Endowment for the Humanities. He was also a university representative to the Upper Northeast Coordinating Council and a soccer coach for the Catholic Youth Organization. He died on January 11, 1986, at Lealand Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C. | ||
