Jamie Mackie (academic)

James Austin Copland Mackie (27 September 1924–21 April 2011), known as Jamie Mackie,[1] was an Australian academic, described by The Australian as one of the country's "pioneers of its post-war engagement with Asia"[2] and by The Age as having had a "distinguished academic career to the study of post-colonial south-east Asia."[2] Born in Kandy to the Australian manager of a tea plantation,[3] he studied at Geelong Grammar and later at Oxford before working "with the Colombo Plan in Jakarta from 1956 to 1958, working with the newly established National Planning Bureau."[2] He taught at the University of Melbourne (1958–1967)[4] and Monash University (1968–1978)[4] and edited the ASAA Review. He is also credited with playing a major role in the dismantling of the White Australia policy, which severely restricted non-White migration.[5] After his death, the J.A.C. Mackie Memorial Endowment was established by the Australian National University to fund travel scholarships to Southeast Asia for undergraduate or graduate students.[6][7]
