The Poor Relation examines the place of the social sciences - from economics and psychology to history, law and philosophy - in the teaching and research conducted by Australian universities.
Across sixty years, The Poor Relation charts the changing circumstances of the social sciences, and measures their contribution to public policy. In doing so it also relates the arrangements made to support them and explains why they are so persistently treated as the poor relation of science and technology.Source: PublisherOther editionsJul 2010Melbourne University PublishingebookCommon terms and phrasesAboriginalacademyactivityallowedAnnualANUappliedappointedARCarrangementsASSA ArchivesassistanceAssociationAustralianAustralian UniversitiesbodyBorrieBoxCanberracentchairchangesCommissionCommonwealthconcernconductedcontributioncountriescreatedCunninghamDepartmentdirecteddirectordisciplinesdiscussionearlyeconomiceconomistseffectelectedestablishedExecutive Committee minutesfieldsFileMore terms and phrasesShow lessGet bookBorrowEdit locationCancelCheck availability at libraries near youNo matching city or zip codeAbout the workOriginally published: 2010Subject: Social Science / General, Social Science / Reference, Social sciences -- History -- AustraliaAuthorStuart MacintyreAustralian historianStuart Forbes Macintyre was born on April 21, 1947 in Melbourne, Australia.
