Joseph M. Carrier received a Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of California-Irvine and has worked as a consultant to a variety of California public agencies, most recently the Orange County Department of Health.
Joseph M. Carrier was a social anthropologist whose pioneering study of same-sex relations between men in Mexico was the beginning of serious ethnographic research on human sexual behaviors. He died on Saturday, November 28, at his home in Pacific Palisades. He was 92 years old.
He led a remarkably adventurous life. While an undergraduate student at the University of Miami, he traveled to Cuba in 1948 and Mexico in 1949.
After two years of active duty in the U.S. Marine Corps (1950-52) at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, he attended Purdue University and received a master’s degree in economics in June 1953. He then spent a year in India on a Fulbright grant.
