The Common-Health and Beyond: New Zealand Trainee Specialists in International Medical Networks, 1945-1975
No full textIn the two to three decades that followed World War Two, approximately three-quarters of all New Zealand doctors, and up to ninety per cent of New Zealand medical specialists, travelled overseas for the purposes of obtaining post-graduate experience and qualifications. This thesis uses oral interviews, quantification techniques, and a range of textual analyses to explore the form and function of this large-scale professional migration, and to capture the experiences of those doctors who participated in it.
The central argument of this thesis is that the careers of New Zealand specialists during this period cannot be understood without making reference to a complex and mutually influential international system of cultural and professional conventions, institutional rules, interpersonal networks, health related policies, and discursive formations. While powerfully centred on British medical norms and structures, this ‘Common-health’ system facilitated the transmission of people, ideas, technologies, and policies both within and between the nations of the British Commonwealth, in multiple directions by multiple means, and in doing so, was critical to the development of medical specialisation in the twentieth century.
For New Zealand’s prospective specialists, the primary motivating force behind these migrations was the need to access populations that were large enough to facilitate specialist training. Britain’s much larger population and the existence of a range of cultural and institutional commonalities, derived from nineteenth-century colonisation, made Britain the default destination for thousands of New Zealand trainee specialists during the second half of the twentieth century. However, while the Common-health system was a powerful facilitator of medical interaction and migration, it also functioned as a mechanism of exclusion that severely curtailed the ability of women doctors and those of non-European heritage to participate in professional medicine on their own terms. This thesis examines this restrictive aspect of post-World War Two medical networks with relation to women by suggesting that traditional beliefs about the role of women in medicine, together with the strongly informal nature of many professional interactions, not only limited the overall participation of women doctors, but also conditioned their ability to access particular specialty fields. The thesis also examines the reconfiguration of these patterns of connection during the late 1960s and early 1970s, and in particular, the emergence of the United States and Australia as important venues for post-graduate training for New Zealand’s prospective specialists

In conversation: The Caribbean and the Second World War
No full textAuthor Colin Douglas and Dr Kesewa John, lecturer in Black British History at Goldsmiths, University of London, discussed Colin's latest book The Caribbean and the Second World War.
The discussion provided a longer historical context for the events of the Second World War and its impact on the region. Douglas and Dr John mapped the ambivalent relationship between the Caribbean and its colonial rulers in war and peacetime, from labour unrest before and during the war to the persistence of the colour bar in the military. Their conversation also focused on post-war Caribbean migration to Britain

The practice of history: the Smithsons, Colin St John Wilson, and the writing of architectural history
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to explore the type, form, and methodology of history written by practicing architects following the arrival of kunstgeschichte in Britain. Through an analysis of historical writings by Alison and Peter Smithson, and Colin St John Wilson a series of topics are explored including the relationship between history and practice, the use of different narrative structures, and the qualities that a practicing architect can bring to the study of the past. The paper concludes by emphasising that whilst all history is contemporary history, the association between history and its architect-author was not simplistic but a complex interrelationship of position and intention

White empty Earth: photography and the imagined world
No full textMy use of photography is rooted in the complexities of the photograph, its making, meaning and function. Human understanding and perception of the physical world (as Landscape and Nature) are sole concerns as I address the ambivalence that coincides with these ideas and the space in between. Can one achieve a work that illuminates both personally and collectively, privately and socially? By photographing constructed environments in the studio, can I challenge the photograph as "document" and the environment as fundamentally separate from human? With this work, I am hoping to accomplish several things through a hermeneutic based exploration: An engagement in a meditative, slow process, the revealing of a mindful, personal space,a deeper understanding of the environment and my place in it and the capability, functionality, conscious/unconscious uses of and meaning in photography and the photograph and, lastly, how the image affects human consciousness of and relationship to the physical world.M.F.A.Includes bibliographical references (p. 65)by Colin Jon Edgingto
