Radcliffe-Brown was president of the Royal Anthropological Institute in 1939 and 1940. He was a university professor in England, the USA, the Republic of South Africa, Brazil, Australia, and Egypt. A theorist of ethnographic structuralism and functionalism, he established a school of social anthropology in British ethnography; the chief purpose of this school was to study the structure and functions of primitive social institutions.
