From 1983 to 2005, he held the LSE Chair in Anthropology which had previously been held by Bronislaw Malinowski. Throughout his career, Bloch has taught as a visiting professor at numerous universities in Europe, the USA and Japan. In 2005-–2006, he held the European Chair at the Collège de France.

Maurice Bloch has devoted his latest fieldwork to testing the data and hypotheses of the theory of mind.
