  • 10. Uses and Abuses of Refugee Histories
    10 USES AND ABUSES OF REFUGEE HISTORIES Klaus Neumann1 In recent years, scholars with an interest in the history of refugee policies have often noted the lack of historical analysis in discussions of current issues of forced displacement.2 Such complaints are increasingly unfounded. In scholarly debates about displacement and protection, and in discussions about public policy, historians and their skills are now sought after rather than ignored. The discipline of history has become an essential part of what is variously called forced migration studies or refugee studies. This collection is but one of several recent edited books 1 The research for this paper was partially funded by the Australian Research Council (DP160101434). The research for and writing of this chapter was completed in 2018. 2 See, for example, Tony Kushner, Remembering Refugees: Then and Now (Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2006), 1; Philip Marfleet, ‘Refugees and History: Why We Must Address the Past’, Refugee Survey Quarterly 26, no. 3 (2007): 136–48, doi.org/10.1093/rsq/hdi0248; Peter Gatrell, ‘Refugees – What’s Wrong with History?’ Journal of Refugee Studies 30, no. 2 (2017): 170–89. In 2006, Martin Jones analysed the profiles of staff and doctoral students of the four leading centres for refugee research at the time and found that only four out of 121 researchers self-identified as historians. See Martin Jones, ‘Review of Refuge Australia: Australia’s Humanitarian Record’, Refuge 23, no. 1 (2006): 104 n. 21, doi.org/10.25071/1920-7336.21348. Many of those then writing about the silence of the historical profession, myself included, identified as historians and were busily contributing historical analyses to refugee studies; see, for example, Klaus Neumann, ‘Refugees: The Silence of the Historians’, Age, 11 June 2004, available at: www.theage.com.au/national/refugees-the-silence-of-the-historians- 20040611-gdy0ic.html.

  • Thesis August
    Chapter 1 Introduction Section 1.1: ‘A fit place for women’? Section 1.2: Problems of sex, gender and parliament Section 1.3: Gender and the Parliament, 1995-1999 Section 1.4: Expectations on female MPs Section 1.5: Outline of the thesis Section 1.1: ‘A fit place for women’? The Sydney Morning Herald of 27 August 1925 reported the first speech given by a female Member of Parliament (hereafter MP) in New South Wales. In the Legislative Assembly on the previous day, Millicent Preston-Stanley, Nationalist Party Member for the Eastern Suburbs, created history. According to the Herald: ‘Miss Stanley proceeded to illumine the House with a few little shafts of humour. “For many years”, she said, “I have in this House looked down upon honourable members from above. And I have wondered how so many old women have managed to get here - not only to get here, but to stay here”. The Herald continued: ‘The House figuratively rocked with laughter. Miss Stanley hastened to explain herself. “I am referring”, she said amidst further laughter, “not to the physical age of the old gentlemen in question, but to their mental age, and to that obvious vacuity of mind which characterises the old gentlemen to whom I have referred”. Members obviously could not afford to manifest any deep sense of injury because of a woman’s banter. They laughed instead’. Preston-Stanley’s speech marks an important point in gender politics. It introduced female participation in the Twenty-seventh Parliament. It stands chronologically midway between the introduction of responsible government in the 1850s and the Fifty-first Parliament elected in March 1995.
