'Oliver MacDonagh, a distinguished historian of Britain and Ireland, was appointed in 1963 to the foundation chair of history at what became the Flinders University of South Australia. The present article dissects the process of his elevation to the Flinders chair, at a time when senior academic appointments were handled differently than today, and discusses MacDonagh’s work at his new place of abode. As one of the new universities in Australia during the 1960s, Flinders had a brief to be different from its traditional counterparts and to ‘experiment boldly’. But was this what MacDonagh did during his time there?' (Publication abstract)
