PhD thesis, James Cook University. Access to this file is available from: http://eprints.jcu.edu.au/5266 THE MEASURE OF THE WOMAN: EUGENICS AND DOMESTIC SCIENCE IN THE 1924 SOCIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF WHITE WOMEN IN NORTH QUEENSLAND Thesis submitted by Gillian Beth COLCLOUGH, BA (Hons) WA on February 11 2008 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Arts and Social Sciences James Cook University Abstract This thesis considers experiences of white women in Queensland‟s north in the early years of „white‟ Australia, in this case from Federation until the late 1920s. Because of government and health authority interest in determining issues that might influence the health and well-being of white northern women, and hence their families and a future white labour force, in 1924 the Institute of Tropical Medicine conducted a comprehensive Sociological Survey of White Women in selected northern towns. Designed to address and resolve concerns of government and medical authorities with anxieties about sanitation, hygiene and eugenic wellbeing, the Survey used domestic science criteria to measure the health knowledge of its subjects: in so doing, it gathered detailed information about their lives. Guided by the Survey assessment categories, together with local and overseas literature on racial ideas, the thesis examines salient social and scientific concerns about white women in Queensland‟s tropical north and in white-dominated societies elsewhere and considers them against the oral reminiscences of women who recalled their lives in the North for the North Queensland Oral History Project.

Gilman was an American, a pioneering sociologist, an influential feminist pragmatist, a peripatetic lecturer, a prolific author, and a friend of Addams. Although Gilman died in 1935, she remains today a provocative sociological presence whose writings continue to make us think, argue, and question our preconceptions.

  • For Immediate Release August 23, 2005 Mary Jo Deegan and Michael
    For Immediate Release August 23, 2005 TWO NEBRASKA SCHOLARS WIN TOP SOCIOLOGY HONORS — AGAIN! Mary Jo Deegan and Michael R. Hill, both of Lincoln, Nebraska, again walked away with top honors in their research specialty at the recent centennial meeting of the American Sociological Association (ASA) in Philadelphia earlier this month. Hill and Deegan won the 2005 Distinguished Scholarly Book Award from the ASA Section on the History of Sociology for their meticulous edition of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s Social Ethics: Sociology and the Future of Society. Gilman, who died in 1935, was a pioneering sociologist and is well-known as the author of the classic short story: “The Yellow Wallpaper” (1892) and a non-fiction book on Women and Economics (1898). Social Ethics, written in 1914, was discovered by Deegan and Hill after years of archival and library research. The award selection committee cited the Nebraska researchers “for their enormous scholarly efforts in bringing this lost classic to our attention” and for providing “exhaustive and detailed annotation and endnotes which explain Gilman’s vocabulary and sociological references, making it easily accessible and understandable to those who have not yet discovered and are not already familiar with her work.” Social Ethics was issued by Praeger Publishers of Westport, Connecticut, in 2004. During award ceremonies at the Philadelphia Marriot Hotel, Hill was also applauded for his research and creative initiative in designing and compiling a Centennial Bibliography on the History of American Sociology, a large documentary work commissioned by the American Sociological Association and now available on-line to interested students via the ASA’s official website.

  • Edward A. Ross at the University of Nebraska, 1901.19061
    Mid-American Review of Sociology THE FOUNDATIONS OF AN AMERICAN DISCIPLINE: EDWARD A. ROSS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, 1901.19061 Bruce Keith University ofNebraska-Lincoln Mid-American Review of Sociology, 1988, Vol xm, No. 2:43-56 IN1RODUCTION Edward Alsworth Ross (1866-1951) was appointed Professor of Sociol­ ogy at the University of Nebraska during the spring of 1901, after being curtly dismissed from Stanford University the previous December in a controversial freedom of speech case (cf., Weinberg 1972). Ross was the first Professor of Sociology, per se, at Nebraska. During the five years (1901-1906) he taught at Nebraska, Ross' publications instrumentally shaped the character of the new discipline of sociology in the United States. On the basis of his scholarly work at Nebraska, Ross became recognized as one of the foremost American sociologists of the twentieth century," This paper reviews the interpretive context of Ross' Nebraska work and surveys the major intellectual contributions of his monographs from this period. Ross (1936: 87) wrote fondly of his days at Nebraska, "My lustrum at Nebraska was happy, for three sons were born to us and all throve." He recalled, "the air there has a winey effect, pleases the lungs as sparkling Burgandy pleases the palate. Many a day I found that just to respire was intoxicating" (Ross 1936: 87). If the invigorating prairie air had an expan­ sive effect on the size of Ross' family, it clearly profited his work as a scholar. By virtually all accounts, his Nebraska period was the most intel­ lectually productive and sociologically significant.

  • Disciplining the Reception of Darwin: the Botanical and Sociological Work of Lester Frank Ward
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Katharine Zimmerman for the degree of Master of Arts in History of Science on November 7, 2006 Title: Disciplining the Reception of Darwin: the Botanical and Sociological Work of Lester Frank Ward. Abstract approved: ____________________________________________________________________ Paul Lawrence Farber Mina Carson The publication of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, truly a synthesized work of natural history, coincided with the emergence of specialized disciplines in the 19th century. This thesis aims to explore the relationship between the specialization of knowledge, in the form of disciplinization, and the reception of new theories in emerging disciplines. To investigate how the development of new disciplines can affect theory reception I will focus on the work of Lester Frank Ward, a prominent paleobotanist who worked jointly for the U.S. National Museum and the U.S Geologic Survey in Washington, DC. Ward was not only central to Gilded Age paleobotany, but he was also devoted to establishing an American sociological tradition, for which he is better remembered. By analyzing the ways in which Ward interpreted and integrated Darwinian evolution into his dual-discipline career, the social and intellectual relationship between the processes of disciplinization and theory reception can be better understood. Comparing and contrasting Ward’s approach towards Darwin in his botanical and sociological work allows for an evaluation of how two very singular and distinct disciplines, each with specialized disciplinary topographies, affected one scientist’s interpretation and application of a new theory. Using evidence found in the Lester Frank Ward Papers at the Smithsonian Institution Archives and at Brown University, the collections of the Library of Congress, and the National Museum of Natural History, I will demonstrate how disciplinization as a process in both the historical and social sciences affected the interpretation and application of Darwin’s theory of evolution not only in Ward’s work, but more broadly as well.
