Volume IV - The Turks of Central Asia.Maria Antonina Czaplicka (1886-1921), also referred to as Marya Antonina or Marie Antoinette Czaplicka, was a Polish cultural anthropologist who is best known for her ethnography of Siberian shamanism.She was born in Warsaw in 1886 into an impoverished Polish nobility family. She started her studies on the "Wy?sze Kursy Naukowe" (a private-run university) and the so-called "Flying University", a secret institution of higher education in Russian-held Poland. In 1910 she received a Mianowski Scholarship and continued her studies in the United Kingdom.She left Poland together with Bronis?aw Malinowski in 1910 and continued her studies at the Faculty of Anthropology of the London School of Economics. Her professor Charles G. Seligman suggested that she finish her studies at the University of Oxford. There R.R. Marett, her tutor, decided to grant Czaplicka a scholarship and finance her first expedition to Siberia. He believed that a Russian-speaking Czaplicka would be able to gather more information on the tribes of Siberia than an English-speaking scientist who would have to rely on translators./ antropologie / anthropology / ethnography / siberië /.
