About this E-issue

This e-book edition of 2016 follows almost the same layout as the 1995 paperback version of 1995. The exceptions are that Raul Pertierra’s piece has been moved forward; and, the index previously listed the relevant page numbers, of course. In this version, which does not have page numbers, they have been removed, thus leading to the index to be more of a key word finder.

Although it has been some 20 years since the original publication, we have not updated the data. Since 1995, material has largely been digitized and/or appears in electronic data bases that can be readily accessed. Thus this volume lists items from about the 1960s to 1995, a period prior to large scale digitization and e-cataloguing; such items may still not be e-catalogued.

A further point to note is that in 20 years people have moved on, so that where an address, affiliation or phone number is evident in this volume, it may not be valid today.

In the end, therefore, we have republished this 1995 volume to facilitate access to or knowledge about past research on the Philippines, which may be otherwise difficult to even know about.

Foreword

The Philippine Studies Association of Australia (PSAA) was established in 1980 in order to promote academic work on the Philippines and to keep members informed of Philippine studies news. From an original membership of 30, the PSAA now sends its newsletter to over 120 individuals and institutions both in Australia and overseas. Due to this expansion, and to fulfill the PSAA's objectives, it seemed appropriate to compile a Directory of members who have academic interests in the Philippines. This enables us all to know who the other Filipinists are, what interests they have, and how to get in contact with them.

The original idea by Dr. Mark Turner of compiling such a listing arose during the organization of a seminar/workshop on Current Postgraduate Research on the Philippines in Australian Universities held at the Australian National University on September 2, 1988. Some of us engaged in Philippine studies had begun to realize that there was a substantial amount of postgraduate work in progress but there was only a sketchy impression of the extent and precise nature of this research. In addition, we knew that there was little linkage between those working at a doctoral level on Philippine topics in the social sciences and humanities. The seminar, as its title suggests, attempted to find out exactly what doctoral research on the Philippines was in progress and at which Australian universities. Doctoral students from universities in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra attended the seminar and took the opportunity to talk about their research and meet other Filipinists, while those who could not attend sent details of what they were doing and where they were doing it. A preliminary listing of research in progress was distributed at the seminar and subsequently updated and expanded for publication. It was also decided to include doctoral studies on the Philippines that had already been completed at Australian universities. Thus, the original listing comprised of all existing social science doctoral theses on the Philippines as well as doctoral research in progress.

The mid-1960s saw the first doctoral theses on the Philippines submitted at an Australian university. By the end of the 1960s only one more Philippine thesis had been submitted, but the 1970s witnessed a considerable increase in activity. Most were still concentrated at ANU where there was doctoral work in history, geography, politics and economics. But other universities were commencing the recruitment of students to undertake Philippine research and a trickle of doctoral theses began to appear from these institutions especially in anthropology. Having eventually dispensed with the notion that the Philippines was American territory, Australian-based anthropological research on the Philippines got into motion during the 1970s. Theses were submitted at the Universities of Western Australia (Smart), Sydney (Casino) and Monash (Maghanoy), while one history thesis emerged from Sydney. By the mid-1970s the Philippines had become an object of considerable interest for a number of academics and it appeared that the interest would be sustained.

In the 1980s doctoral output on the Philippines notched up another gear in line with increased interest in the country, At a general level, the Australian media and government have kept close watch on events while universities have appointed Philippine specialists from a range of disciplines.

Doctoral output has certainly been growing and in an ever widening circle of universities. Already in the 1980s, sixteen doctoral theses on Philippine topics had been completed at Australian universities, while twenty-three more were currently in progress. In disciplinary terms the range is large, comprising anthropology, sociology, demography, economics, education, geography, history, music and politics. The number of universities is likewise large. While the ANU still retains its prominent position with doctoral students, other universities have established a Philippine tradition in particular disciplines—Murdoch and James Cook in history and, more recently, Queensland in anthropology and sociology. And this brings us back to where we started. The research effort on the Philippines is widely dispersed and there is an urgent need for strong linkages between those working in the field. Good networking is vital for the health of the enterprise and the individuals that comprise it. The ANU seminar on doctoral research was a step in this direction. The current revitalization of the Philippine Studies Association of Australia and this third publication will undoubtedly contribute a considerable amount to this end.

The current Directory includes lists of Filipinists in Australia, and those who, while overseas continue to take an active part in Philippine studies in Australia; former members of the PSAA who are now overseas or have retired and who have made a significant contribution to Philippine studies; as well as a list of Australian groups such as non-governmental organizations which have an interest in the Philippines. Much of the information came from questionnaires completed by members. While the Directory is not exhaustive, it does attempt to keep abreast of new and retiring members and to present members' details as accurately as possible. Unfortunately, not all members returned their questionnaires, and there remain perhaps other scholars in Australia with Philippine interests who are unknown to us. Nevertheless, the Directory does give a good picture of the make-up of Australia's Philippine Studies community and, hopefully, will help to facilitate greater communication among them.

This is the third such listing of Filipinists in Australia, and with each new edition more information has been added and reorganized. With this current edition it was felt that a bibliographic section of published and unpublished work was needed to not only provide an easy reference for those interested in the Philippines, but also to indicate the history and volume of Philippine studies in Australia. To facilitate this data collation yet another section on Dissertations on the Philippines undertaken at Australian Universities since 1957 was made and expanded to include Honours and Masters dissertations. This brings together in one volume and hopefully more comprehensively and systematically previous editions of similar material originally initiated by Dr. Mark Turner and later in conjunction with Dr. Ron May and Dr. Paul Mathews.

The present compilers little realized the extent of such a task when they first set out to put this material together. While we have tried to be as comprehensive and as accurate as possible, we often relied on the good will and compliance of the many contributors. Within time and budgetary constraints some research was carried out to check for details and omissions, particularly in regard to dissertations. Clearly, however, further work in this area needs to be done. As a result, we can only apologize for any errors or omissions, including the necessity of using abbreviations in some instances. We hope that suggestions and corrections will be brought to our attention in good faith.

We therefore wish to thank all those Filipinists who contributed to this publication, and in particular Ms. Carol Dungey of Flinders University library for her bibliographic assistance.

ABOUT THIS LISTING

This publication, as the Contents shows, lists in Part 1 the names, contact addresses, qualifications and interests of Filipinists in Australia and a few former residents who have made significant contributions to Philippine studies in Australia and/or continue to take an active interest in such studies.

Part 2 lists Dissertations on the Philippines undertaken at Australian Universities, with a small section of theses undertaken at Universities outside of Australia by people who are currently residing in Australia, or who are former residents who have made significant contributions to Philippine studies in Australia and/or continue to take an active interest in such studies.

Unlike previous listings, Part 2 includes undergraduate (Honours) theses, Masters and other postgraduate theses, and doctoral theses which focus in total or, in a few cases, in part on the Philippines. The listing includes dissertations completed and in progress in all fields. Where possible an abstract of each thesis is provided; in some cases abstracts are slightly edited.

In this Part the following information is provided: author, completion date, thesis title, and university and department if known.

For theses in progress (n. d.) it will be appreciated that some of the data is of a provisional nature, especially where the research is in its early stages. Completion dates may be extended and theses titles can be modified according to changing circumstances and research orientation. Where possible a summary (or abstract) of the research project is included. These summaries have been kindly supplied by the students.

While we have attempted to cover all research it is possible that a few theses or current projects may have escaped the net, and some factual or typographical errors invariably occur in a compilation of this kind.

Part 3 is an extensive but by no means complete bibliography of both published and unpublished material generated by primarily people listed in Parts 1 and 2. This material is grouped under particular classifications.

The closing date for entries in the publication was October 30, 1994; a few 11th-hour additions or alterations were made up to March 1995, but these may not be indexed.

Finally, the entire manuscript from page 1 is Indexed using key words (subject) and phrases, author name, key historical dates, conferences, and Journals. Highlighted in the Index are the names of main authors who appear in the Directory, Dissertations or Bibliography sections; also highlighted are key words and headings; while publication titles are italicized.

Philippine Studies in Australia:

Past, Present and Future*

Australian academe's first excursion into the realm of Philippine studies came in the mid-1960s** with the successful completion of two doctoral theses at the Australian National University (ANU). Appropriately, it was a Filipino, Dante Simbulan, who led the way in 1965 with what was to become a much-quoted thesis on the socio-economic elite. The other doctoral candidate, Jean Vellut, focused his attention on Philippine foreign policy. Before the 1960s were finished another doctorate, by Maurice Haddad, this time in economics, was completed at ANU, while the anthropologist-prehistorian, Helmut Loofs-Wissowa, from the same institution undertook field studies in the Northern Cordillera. In addition Martin Kellman finished his doctorate in 1969 in geography on secondary vegetation on Mt. Apo, Davao. These disparate pieces of research on Philippine topics did not constitute any concerted push for Philippine studies. Australia's interests in the Third World was still firmly fixed on Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and Malaysia while the orientalists could find no high civilization in the Philippines to attract their attention.

By the 1970s Australian academics and postgraduates had began looking further afield and research interest in the Philippines increased to the critical level where one could actually start talking about the existence of something called Philippine studies in Australia. Peter Krinks in 1970 completed his doctorate at the ANU on Peasant Colonization in Mindanao. By the middle of the decade six more doctorates had been completed. Not only had the disciplinary range expanded to include anthropology, geography and history as well as politics and economics, but some of the work had been done outside of the ANU, at the universities of Sydney and Western Australia. The latter university had employed the American Filipinist, James Murray, on its staff. But the most significant event came in Sydney in October 1974 when 14 people with research interests in the Philippines met at Macquarie University and founded the Philippine Studies Group (PSG). The declared aim of the PSG was to improve contacts among researchers in Australia and to circulate useful information. The group published its first newsletter in November 1974 and followed it with eight more over the next four years. They were one or two page documents which gave brief details of meetings, most of which were held in private houses rather than in university seminar rooms.

Meanwhile in 1976 the Asian Studies Association of Australia (ASAA) was somewhat belatedly formed. At its second national conference there were 12 papers on the Philippines covering a range of historical and social science topics. This was a good indication that considerable academic interest in the Philippines had developed in Australian universities. This was confirmed in 1980 when Sydney's PSG went nationwide with the formation of the Philippine Studies Association of Australia (PSAA). The Sydney-based academics who spearheaded the move expressed concern that the Philippines was not being accorded the attention it deserved despite the numerical increase in scholars studying the Philippines and the growing volume of doctoral and published work on the country. In order to redress the disturbingly low priority given to the Philippines within the context of Southeast Asian studies in Australia, it was necessary to have a nationwide professional association. The PSAA secured an initial membership of 30 from the tertiary institutions of Australia and the association sought respectability and recognition by drafting a constitution and electing officials. The first newsletter, a more substantial document than its PSG predecessors, was dispatched to members in May 1981, and is currently circulated to approximately 100 PSAA members and associate members in Australia-New Zealand and abroad.

By the early 1980s Philippine studies in Australia had established a solid base from which to develop. At last there was a professional organization which kept people informed of events around the country and introduced a semblance of corporate identity and linkage to those engaged in Philippine studies. The output of doctoral and MA dissertations was being maintained, while there were academics specializing in the Philippines who now held positions at a number of universities. For example, Al McCoy (history) and Raul Pertierra (anthropology) were at the University of New South Wales, Peter Krinks (geography) and Brian Fegan (anthropology) lectured at Macquarie University, Ron May (politics) was in place at ANU, John Smart (sociology/anthropology) at Newcastle, Howard Fry (history) at James Cook University in Townsville, and in the west James Warren (history) operated out of Murdoch University. Thus, when the Fourth National ASAA conference was held in 1982 it was reported that Philippine studies was represented by more papers, more panels and more visiting scholars from the Philippines. Philippine studies had become an integral part of the expanding Asian studies scene in Australian tertiary education.

The rise of academic interest in the Philippines was accompanied by an increased public interest in and awareness of what was happening in the Philippines. Links between Australia and the Philippines had been growing in importance, fed partly by an increasing number of migrants from
