Chicanery
Senior Academic Appointments in Antipodean Anthropology, 1920-1960
Langbeschreibung
Academic appointments can bring forth unexpected and unforeseen contests and tensions, cause humiliation and embarrassment for unsuccessful applicants and reveal unexpected allies and enemies. It is also a time when harsh assessments can be made about colleagues' intellectual abilities and their capacity as a scholar and fieldworker. The assessors' reports were often disturbingly personal, laying bare their likes and dislikes that could determine the futures of peers and colleagues. Chicanery deals with how the founding Chairs at Sydney, the Australian National University, Auckland and Western Australia dealt with this process, and includes accounts of the appointments of famous anthropologists such as Raymond Firth and Alexander Ratcliffe-Brown.
Christine Winter is Associate Professor at the College of the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, Flinders University (Adelaide). Their most recent co-authored book is Scholars at War (ANU Press, 2012).
