Abstract

Jean Martin (nee Jean Craig) was the founding mother of Australian sociology. She trained in Anthropology with A.P. Elkin at the University of Sydney, conducting pioneering work into rural sociology at the age of 22. In 1947, she travelled to the University of Chicago. He subsequent interests shifted from internal migration to international migration, multiculturalism and displacement. This paper, part of research in progress for an intellectual biography, enquires into the question of what she learned in Sydney and what she learned in Chicago, and how these two knowledge bases and cultures combined to generate one of the most important founding sociologies in Australia. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
