  • Ian Waterhouse: a Journey in Psychology
    Ian Waterhouse: A Journey in Psychology My parents used to say that as a small boy I asked, “What part thinks?” I have no recollection of this, or of their answer, but I guess it points to an early curiosity about our psyche. Entering first year at Sydney University, I had no clear sense of vocation; I enrolled in psychology because people said it was interesting, and it was on at a convenient time! It so captured me that I aspired to an Honours course and did well. The luminaries of that era at Sydney University (1939-41) were Tasman Lovell, who had written a fascinating book on Dreams and Dreaming, A. H. Martin, with a strong interest in industrial psychology and measurement of individual differences, and Cecil Gibb, who had a deep interest in personality. I also joined the Honours stream in anthropology [where A. P. Elkin (Australian Aborigines) and Ian Hogbin (Law and Order in Polynesia) gave fascinating lectures] and I gained insights into how growing up in other cultures influences our beliefs and behaviour. World War II supervened and led to a vast range of practical experiences. First, while in camp I was summoned to Eastern Command and put in charge of an aptitude testing section aimed at minimising wastage in training schools. About the same time, moves were afoot in Melbourne at Army HQ to set up the Australian Army Psychology Service. I was assimilated into that, joining Don McElwain and Sam Hammond on the HQ staff. Later, I served in five different parts of Australia, gaining experience in assessment of recruit intakes, selection of personnel for specialist training, appraisal of army delinquents, assessment of mentally- disturbed soldiers in army hospitals, and then in vocational guidance of soldiers being discharged.

The collection as a whole is of high qual­ ity, presenting valuable information and provocative analyses. For an anthropolo­ gist, the essays by historians offer fresh perspectives that differentiate this book from others on fieldwork."-American Scientist Volume 2, Functionalism Historicized: Essays on British Social Anthropology "This volume is likely to prove indispensable to historians of anthropology in gen­ eral and of British anthropology in particular. A wide range of historical skills are on display, from traditional textual analysis to historical sociology of the most sophisticated sort, and the more or less thorough chronological coverage extends from the era of classical evolutionism virtually up to the present."-Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences Volume 3, Objects and Others: Essays on Museums and Material Culture ''. .. a timely publication in the History of Anthropology series ... makes an im­ portant contribution to our understanding of the central role museums played in the development of anthropology from 1850 to 1920.

  • 3. H. Ian Hogbin: 'Official Adviser on Native Affairs'
    3. H. Ian Hogbin: ‘Official adviser on native affairs’1 Geoffrey Gray Herbert Ian Priestley Hogbin2 was born in England in 1904 and emigrated with his family to Australia in February 1914. He attended school in Leeton, in country New South Wales, and then Fort Street High School in Sydney. He attended the University of Sydney, on an education bursary, where he completed, in 1926, a Bachelor of Arts and a Diploma in Education.3 Hogbin attended Radcliffe- Brown’s lectures on social anthropology—Anthropology I and Anthropology II—in the newly formed Department of Anthropology.4 Faced with a shortage of fieldworkers, Radcliffe-Brown persuaded—as Hogbin remarked later—a scarcely prepared twenty-two-year-old to join an expedition to Rennell Island and Ontong Java in 1927. Hogbin’s fieldwork was the first research conducted under the auspices of the Australian National Research Council (ANRC). Those scholars considered for fellowships ‘should be men of unusual promise [who] should be assured of either a definite University post or of a connection with teaching, research or scientific work having a direct bearing on some biological aspect of human welfare’.5 He was awarded his MA in Anthropology (for his work on Ontong Java) on 12 August 1929, the same year he left for the London School of Economics (LSE) to write his doctoral dissertation under Bronislaw Malinowski—later published as Law and Order in Polynesia (1934). Hogbin considered himself a Malinowskian functionalist, although he owed his interest and development in social anthropology to Radcliffe-Brown. In 1 H.

  • Help Us to Convince Governments of Our Value
    Gray Sample Chapter 3. Help us to convince governments of our value In the first years of its existence anthropology was faced with two prob- lems: a shortage of funds and a lack of trained anthropologists. To maintain funding the Professor of Anthropology had to show government that anthropology was useful in the administration of its Indigenous popu- lations, particularly in colonies such as New Guinea. If convinced, the commonwealth and the state governments would continue to subsidise the chair. Rockefeller Foundation funds, which subsidised the chair and supported anthropological research, were limited in their duration and were expected to end in the mid-1930s. Without this support the future of anthropology in the Sydney department was threatened. Marking territory: mapping the discipline As a result of budgetary decisions made by the states and the common- wealth, this reached a crisis point for the continuation of the depart- ment in the early 1930s. The other problem, faced by Radcliffe-Brown in particular, was the lack of suitably trained researchers. He had to find suitably qualified anthropologists from Britain and America and send out his students as soon as they had completed their degree. This he did, and the range and scope of anthropological research in the first five years of the department’s life was considerable. However, combined with Rockefeller funding, a broad agenda and a requirement to pursue anthro- pological research in the Territory of New Guinea (and the shortage of suitably trained researchers) left Radcliffe-Brown in a quandary with regard to research sites outside of mainland Australia.
