'Development anthropology is a contact sport,' Michael Cernea likes to tell his students. His career, from junior researcher in the Romanian Academy of Sciences in the early 1960s to joining the World Bank in Washington D.C. in 1974 as its first-ever in house staff sociologist, and then advancing there successfully to the high level position of the World Bank's Senior Advisor for Social Policies and Sociology is testament to this observation.
