ANU Aging and the Family Project

  • University unit
  • 1980 - 1986

The ANU Ageing and the Family Project was one of several sizeable research projects which moved Australian gerontology beyond earlier pioneering studies primarily on older clients and other specialised samples. The ANU Project - and related studies by the Australian Council on the Ageing and the Department of Community Services (1985), and the Australian Institute of Multicultural Affairs (I986) - reflected the priority in the early 1980s for knowledge on older people living in the community. These studies paralleled investigations on residential care policies by the National Research Institute of Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine, community care by the Social Welfare Research Centre, and a number of other inquiries by small teams and individuals (National Research Institute of Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine, 1987). The ANU Project also was part of the international development of life span perspectives and ‘multiple method studies of ageing and families. The Ageing and the Family Project was initiated and primarily funded from within the ANU Research School of Social Sciences. Foreshadowing many of the recent developments under the ‘Dawkins’ plan for tertiary education, the Research School in 1978 undertook to establish several multidisciplinary research projects on applied topics of national importance and of relevance to policy.

The Ageing and the Family Project, one of the first of these School initiatives, commenced in 1980 with the appointment of two and a half academic staff and internal and external advisory committees. The Project was established initially for a three to five year period and was completed in 1986. The first objective in the Project’s research agenda was to fill major gaps in knowledge about the diverse social situations of older people and processes of ageing in Australia. A second objective was to apply findings to the broader development of gerontology and social and health policies. Both priorities required that the research effort be coordinated with other researchers, service providers, and the very few educational programmes in gerontology at the time. The emphasis of ANU-funded posts was on basic research in social gerontology while visitors supported with outside funding contributed more to research on 26 services and policies. Approximately a third of the funding was obtained from grants, contracts, and fellowships provided principally by agencies of the Commonwealth government. External sources of support were pursued when they contributed to research within the scope of the Project’s academic agenda. The Project’s staffing recognised that ageing is a multi-faceted experience which is best understood from the perspective of multiple disciplines and professions. The staff included sociologists, a gerontologist, demographers, psychologists, an anthropologist, an economist, and a political scientist. The understanding of services and the professions was aided by the involvement of social workers, an urban planner, a geriatrician, a nurse, and a lawyer. At any one time, there was an average of five researchers from these diverse fields. Exchanges between these people broadened disciplinary and professional horizons and focussed them on the field of ageing. This interaction increased appreciation of the interdependency between health conditions, social and economic aspects of ageing, and public policies - all of which often are studied separately. A purposeful and integrated research program requires common organising topics and themes. While the investigations ranged widely, the primary research topics addressed the social integration and support of older people through a variety of social institutions ranging from intimate family ties through to the public sector. The development of common questions and vocabulary enabled the project team to inter-relate diverse aspects of ageing and care of older people. This helped in viewing the aged as ‘whole people’ with pasts and futures, instead of as ‘one-off research subjects, clients, and patients. The Ageing and the Family Project aimed to make a specific research contribution appropriate to the priorities for Australian gerontology in the early 1980s. Hal Kendig was director of the project supported by a team which built on the contributions of many individuals. Diane Gibson and Don Rowland played a particularly significant part in setting the research agenda and in serving as Co-Principal Investigators on the 1981 Survey of the Aged In Sydney. John McCallum took on similar leadership responsibilities in policy reviews and the National Centre for Epidemiology & Population Health (NCEPH) follow-up survey. A more detailed account of staff and their contributions is provided in the Ageing and the Family Project Final Report (1986).

ANU Department of Astronomy

  • University unit
  • 1957 - 1998

The Department of Astronomy was established in the Research School of Physical Sciences when the Mount Stromlo Observatory became part of the Australian National University in 1957. It had since 1924 been the Commonwealth Solar Observatory. In 1946 when the Australian National University Act was passed, Richard Woolley was its director and, as a personal friend to Nugget Coombs, was well placed to argue for the inclusion of a department of astronomy and astrophysics at the fledgling university. Woolley met unexpected resistance from Mark Oliphant, the newly appointed director of the Research School of Physical Sciences who rejected the inclusion of the Observatory on the grounds of its continuing statutory responsibilities being incompatible with the structure and organisation of the school. As a compromise, Woolley would be appointed an Honorary Professor of Astronomy with the right to appoint a research fellow to his staff and supervise supervise research students, creating a de-facto Department of Astronomy. In 1954 the first Doctor of Philosophy degree awarded by the University was to one of these students, Antoni Przybylski. On Woolley's appointment as Astronomer Royal in 1955 the University administration agreed to incorporate the Observatory into the University and establish a Professor of Astronomy who would also act as its Director. The Mount Stromlo Observatory Act 1956 gave effect to this change and the observatory was renamed the Mount Stromlo Observatory and made a department within the research school. By 1962, the expanding Canberra population made it clear that a better site needed to be found. The decision was made to establish a permanent ‘field station’ rather than totally relocate the observatory. Siding Spring (near Coonabarabran) was officially opened on 5 April 1965. The department was renamed the Mount Stromlo and Siding Spring Observatories (MSSSO) and became an Institute of Advanced Studies centre in 1986. In 1998 it became the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics.

The Research School of Social Sciences (RSSS) is Australia’s major institution for theoretical and empirical research in the social sciences. It provides a distinctive multi-disciplinary environment for research. In 1947 Australian-born Professor of History W.K. Hancock was chosen to be the Academic Advisor for the School of Social Sciences with the eventual hope that he would take on the job as Foundation Professor. His initial plans for the structure were for nominal departments in Economics, Statistics, Population and Health Studies, Law, Political Science, Social Anthropology, Psychology, History and Philosophy, Sociology and Geography. Initial failure in trying to find suitably qualified individuals to take up posts and the resignation of Raymond Firth from the Academic Advisory Committee led, at the end of 1948, to Hancock advocating that the Pacific Studies and Social Sciences schools be established under one head until the Council decided that each had grown enough to be separate. This proposal was rejected because the emphasis on Pacific Studies was seen as one of the major points that had persuaded the government to accept the university proposal. This event was to prove the catalyst for a parting of ways between Hancock and the Committee. Sir Frederick Eggleston took the opportunity to begin to draw up new plans for the Social Sciences School with K.C. Wheare, Gladstone Professor of Government and Public Administration at Oxford, as advisor. The interim council accepted his proposal of chairs in Political Science, Economics, Social Philosophy, Law and History; with Readers in Demography and Statistics. The first appointment in Social Sciences was that of W.D. (Mick) Borrie with the title of Research Fellow in Demography in 1949, with professorial appointments in 1950 including Geoffrey Sawer in Law and Trevor Swan in Economics. Three readers were also appointed: Laurie Fitzhardinge in Australian History, L.C. Webb in Political Science, and H.P. (Horrie) Brown in Economic Statistics. In 1952 P. A. P. Moran was appointed chair in Statistics and and P. H. Partridge as chair in Social Philosophy.

The Actors’ Federation of Australasia was formed in 1919 and changed its name to Actors' Equity of Australia on 25 February 1936. The union, however, was ineffective and had close links with its supposed adversaries, the Theatre Proprietors and Managers' Association of Australasia. In 1939 Management of Equity was taken over by Hal Alexander and other trade union activists.
On 5 May 1945 the union's name was changed once more, this time to Actors and Announcers' Equity of Australia and was largely due to the inclusion of members from the recently defunct Announcers' Association of Australia. A closed shop ruling was announced in 1949, with members prohibited from working with non-members. Taking the often-casual nature of a performer's employment into account, members were only required to be financial when in work.
Almost since its inception the union was based and most active in Sydney. In 1980 Equity underwent major structural changes with NSW ceasing to be 'The Council State.' A Federal Council was set up in order to be more representative of Equity members around Australia, together with a NSW Division similar to the other state Divisional Committees and Executives. On 14 July 1982 the union assumed its previous title, Actors' Equity of Australia. An unsuccessful attempt was made in 1983 to establish a breakaway union.

The AFAP were against this rival union from the outset and throughout the 1970s made attempts to have the Guild (APGA) de-registered. Throughout the 1970s the Guild struggled to maintain the membership numbers required to remain a registered union, it also had difficulties collecting membership subscriptions which meant that they had very little funds. Compounding the difficulties were the numerous cases brought against the Guild by other organisations which were heard by the Flight Crew Officer's Tribunal. A final case brought against the Guild by David George Shrubb (acting as himself but also representing the AFAP) went to the Federal Court. Despite the efforts of the Guild's Industrial Officer, Frank Stevens, to put the case for the Guild, the outcome was its de-registration. Cameron attempted to get this decision overturned, but was unsuccessful. The AFAP finally registered in 1986.
