About this product

Product Information

What happened to a group of Australian scholars all of whom went to the USA for graduate & related studies? Their immersion into the well resourced USA PhD environment with significant research facilities, libraries and stimulating environments of scholars lasted them a lifetime. All had or could have had scholarships to Oxford or Cambridge, the normal destiny of Australian Masters or post-Masters students. Sally Ninham follows their stories and importantly the stories of their wives. Almost all of these US Graduates returned to Australia to pursue their careers in academia, the law and the corporate world. Their contribution to Australian scholarship, intellectual leadership and Australian society has been significant. Ninham has documented a host of important careers, and the contributions that many made to the transformation of the Australian academy after the Second World War. All of these deserve the analysis in this book. - Professor Tom Healy AO, a Columbia University, New York PhD, 1963. The Australian university scene underwent far-reaching changes from the 1950s. This lively and original study throws much light on what happened and on why it happened. - Gerald O'Collins, SJ, AC, Australian Catholic University. To be educated in Great Britain, especially at Oxford or Cambridge, was the highest pinnacle bright young Australians could aspire to surmount. With meticulous and objective research, Sally Ninham has proved that, after WW11, the United States of America was a worthy alternative. As well as enriching the students, this development often led to genuine reform in, and lasting benefit to, Australian universities in teaching and research. - Professor John Molony, Formerly of Australian National University.
