Abstract:

This article investigates the history of the disciplines increasingly described in Australian universities in the second half of the twentieth century as ‘the humanities’. Studying the internal and external forces that shaped them, it provides an account of what humanities subjects were taught over this period, how they were positioned in universities and what brought various disciplines together as the humanities over time and in different contexts. It focuses on government intervention through committees, reports and policies; patterns of student enrolments and the haphazard development of arts faculties in response to the growth in student numbers; the establishment of new universities and the new ideas that guided their formation; changes to how knowledge was organised in universities; early challenges to the European heritage that had been assumed as central to the humanities; and international intellectual developments.
