Draft Fay Gale biography

[edit]

FAY GALE AO (Order of Australia), BA, PhD, DUniv (University of Adelaide), Hon DLitt (University of Western Australia). Honorary Fellow IAG, Honorary Fellow Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia, Honorary Fellow ATEM[1]. Recepient Griffith Taylor Medal 2001[2]


Emeritus Professor Gale is a cultural geographer. She was born Gwendoline Fay Gilding in Balaklava, South Australia, on June 13th, 1932 to Jasper and Kathleen Gilding. Her father was the local Methodist Minister.

Her main interests are in Higher Education policy and change, Aboriginal women and rock art sites, cultural geography theory and the management of national parks especially those with strong Aboriginal involvement.

Professor Gale is notable for many academic works including the first ever PHD to focus on Part Aborigines and address issues of assimilation. Her thesis A study of assimilation: Part Aborigines in South Australia was published in Adelaide in 1960 and republished in 1964 after becoming widely set as an anthroplogy text[3] in numerous universities.[4]

She is widely revered for her contributions to accademia and the role of women in academia.[5]

In 1989 she was awarded the Order of Australia for her services to Social Science, particularly in the fields of Geography and Aboriginal Studies.

Key appointments in the last ten years include:

Professor Gale was greatly influenced by her relationship with her foster-sister Edna Walker, a member of the Stolen Generation[6] and was an early speaker and activist for change in the treatment of Aboriginals.[7] When she married Milton Gale in 1957 her two bridesmaids were Aboriginal women, Gladys Long and Linda Vale.[8] Her early research activity amongst Aboriginal communities represents in many cases the only written records of some people. The research was part of a body of work relied upon by Hindmarsh Island Royal Commission in making its determination. This led to criticism by others, notably Rod Lucas, of the veracity of the material.[9]

During her time at The University of Western Australia Fay Gale was instrumental in developing significant advances in gender equity.[10]. [11]She was also involved in considerable controversy in 1992 over activities in the Anthropology Department that became known in the press as the "Rindos Affair" [12]and ultimately made what The Times called "state history" [13]by leading to a Parlimentary Enquiry. As the University's first female Vice Chancellor, who was also single, Professor Gale was the subject of considerable interest and the elements of the case involving academic rivalry and sexual exploits captured the imagination of the press with well over 100 news items being published.[14] The background controversy was concerned with preferential homosexual and lesbian engagement between staff and selected students; and more generally over the disruption to their studies caused by radical changes wrought by the then Hawke Labor Government[15]. Professor Gale received both support and criticism from the academic staff. [16]

The University of Western Australia offers a fellowship for academics wishing to study overseas in her name - Fay Gale Fellowships. [17]


In 1972 Professor Gale was a visiting lecturer in the Geography School at Oxford University having been awarded the Catherine Helen Spence Scholarship[18] to travel overseas. In 1978 she was a Visiting Professor at the University of Washington.
In 1991 Professor Gale teamed with Ian Lowe to give that year's Boyer Lectures entiled "Changing Australia (changes through technology)"



Professor Gale is a notable acheiver of firsts for female academics including;

  • Sole woman professor, The University of Adelaide, for almost a decade
  • First woman Pro-Vice-Chancellor, The University of Adelaide.
  • Vice-Chancellor, the University of Western Australia. This was the first appointment of a woman in WA and the second in Australia, but it was the first to a “sandstone’ or ‘group of 8’ university (Australian equivalent of Ivy League)
  • First woman elected President of the Institute of Australian Geographers
  • First woman elected President of the Australian Vice-Chancellors Committee
  • First woman elected President of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia
  • First woman chair of the Festival of Perth Board
  • First woman elected to the Council of the Association of Commonwealth Universities
  • First woman elected President of the Association of Asian Social Science Research Councils
  • First woman elected Patron of the Association of Tertiary Education Management, Australia and New Zealand


Professor Gale considered Dame Roma Mitchell one of her key mentors.

Deleted and blocked Page titled "Fay Gale"

[edit]

Hi. I am a newbie and tried to create the page "Fay Gale" and made lots of mistakes before I worked out what I was doing and the page is now blocked so I can't re-create it. It is a biography of a living person, Emeritus Professor Fay Gale, and I am her son so there is also an overlap. I have however created a draft at my mytalk page entitled draft Fay Gale biography. If you could pelase check that I think you would find she is notable and there are sufficent external references to her that overcome my overlap issue. Mjgale 13:51, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The page is now unprotected. In future, if you are working on a page and it is not of a suitable minimum standard to be in the namespace, please use a user subpage. Stifle (talk) 18:04, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
