Journal Article
Ian Tyrrell and Australian Historiography
2025
Overview
Ian Tyrrell and Richard Waterhouse belong to a cohort of Australian students who undertook doctoral studies in the United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In this article, Waterhouse reflects on their shared experiences and considers the contributions of Tyrrell’s scholarship to Australian historiography. Focusing on his approaches to social and environmental history, Waterhouse demonstrates that Tyrrell’s attention to overturning the well-established notion of US exceptionalism also informed his transnational approach to Australian history. Tyrrell’s work on the Women’s Christian Temperance Union typifies this stance, with Waterhouse offering a close commentary of the antipodean movement’s distinctiveness. After considering Tyrrell’s stance on public engagement, Waterhouse examines Tyrrell’s contributions to Pacific environmental history as both scholarly innovator and advocate. The article concludes with a survey of the new approaches to Australian historiography that Tyrrell’s work has helped to forge.
