The Poor Relation - A History of Social Sciences in Australia (Paperback)

What are the social sciences? What do they do? How are they practised in Australia? 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.
