Academic appointments can bring forth unexpected and unforeseen
contests and tensions, cause humiliation and embarrassment for
unsuccessful applicants and reveal unexpected allies and enemies.
It is also a time when harsh assessments can be made about
colleagues’ intellectual abilities and their capacity as a
scholar and fieldworker. The assessors’ reports were often
disturbingly personal, laying bare their likes and dislikes that
could determine the futures of peers and colleagues. Chicanery
deals with how the founding Chairs at Sydney, the Australian
National University, Auckland and Western Australia dealt with this
process, and includes accounts of the appointments of famous
anthropologists such as Raymond Firth and Alexander
Ratcliffe-Brown.
