	Josiah Carberry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Josiah Stinkney Carberry is a fictional professor, created as a joke.
		The joke has been embraced since that time, at least at Brown, and Carberry has traditionally been scheduled to lecture every Friday the 13th and February 29th (he of course "misses" all of them), and a general mythology has grown around him and his family.
		On October 3, 1991, at the First Annual Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony, Carberry was awarded an Ig Nobel Prize for Interdisciplinary Research, making him one of only three fictional people to have won the award.

	Who is Josiah Carberry?
		Professor Carberry has been the subject of articles in a number of periodicals, including the New York Times, which proclaimed him "The World's Greatest Traveler" on the front page of its Sunday travel section in 1974, and in Yankee magazine, where he was "The Absent-Bodied Professor" in 1975.

		The early 1980s were the beginning of a kind of decline for Carberry, who was stunned by the narrowing of the wide neckties he'd always favored.
		It is also evident from these long-lost photos that Carberry, like the Jay Gatsby he has always believed he resembles, was working hard at self-improvement, a pre-occupation of many Americans at the time.
		The man was carrying an umbrella despite Providence's month-long drought, suggesting that Carberry was en route again to Bolivia, a country he has frequently visited since his assistant and sometime son-in-law Grayson was bitten by an army ant there in 1978.

	The Volokh Conspiracy - Quarrelsomeness:
		Carberry was something of a legend among Brown undergraduates, who sometimes took it upon themselves to publicize his activities to the wider world.
		A quick citation search reveals that Carberry hasn't published much that has been cited, but maybe that's because it took such a long time to master new disciplines; the citations for "Carberry JS" jump from an article in classics in 1934 to one in plasma physics-- with another Brown professor as lead author-- in 1987.
		The introduction to this book (use the "search inside the book" function using "Josiah") is adapted from "What Killed Science Fiction," by one Josiah S. Carberry, Professor of English, Brown University at San Diego, XXXI The Journal of Popular Culture.
