Dr Peter Hobbins

As a historian of science, technology and medicine, I am intrigued by the ways that knowledge is generated and applied, especially through interactions with non-humans. I have explored this topic via publications on medical research, human-animal relations, quarantine, military medicine and aviation safety.

My first major research strand encompassed the emergence of professional medical research in twentieth-century Australia, and the role of snakes and snakebite in shaping ideas of 'scientific medicine' across the Australasian colonies in the nineteenth century. I was delighted when this research was awarded the University of Sydney's 2014 Rita and John Cornforth Medal for PhD Achievement. This work also formed the basis for my first monograph, Venomous Encounters: Snakes, Vivisection and Scientific Medicine in Colonial Australia (Manchester University Press, 2017). I am continuing to explore this theme as the 2016 Merewether Scholar at the State Library of New South Wales, through a project on nineteenth-century Sydney naturalist, James Bray.

In 2013 I joined the Department of History as a Research Associate for an Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage project which integrated the archaeology and history of quarantine. Our work linking the places, practices and physical heritage of Sydney's former quarantine station resulted in a co-authored book published in 2016: Stories from the Sandstone: Quarantine Inscriptions from Australia's Immigrant Past. We were honoured when this book was awarded the NSW Community and Regional History Prize in the 2017 Premier's History Awards.

Expanding my horizons into the history of technology and aviation medicine, I am completing a major project on aircraft crashes in twentieth-century Australia. Supported by an ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA), I ask how Australia came to develop a world-leading aviation safety infrastructure, and its implications for the historical geography of airspace. In addition to publications and linked data – such as this visualisation of wartime aircraft crash sites around Australia.I have also convened four Aviation Cultures conferences that have brought together academic, industry, museum-based and public participants. An extension of this research is my role as a Chief Investigator in an ARC Linkage grant, Heritage of the Air: How Aviation Transformed Australia.

Exploring and sharing history is my infectious passion. I am particularly devoted to public history, and making connections between academic, professional and community historians. Regularly delivering up to 20 presentations per year to community groups and specialist societies, more recently I have explored ways of working with community historians as partner practitioners. In 2018, I won the Australian Historical Association’s Allan Martin Award which allowed me to travel through regional New South Wales, running workshops on researching and preparing local histories for the centenary of the 1919 ‘Spanish’ influenza pandemic. This project resulted in a community-focused website, including a practical research guide and an online space for local and family historians to share their stories with a wider audience.

Curios and curiosity: James Bray and the sunset of amateur science in colonial Sydney. Generously supported by the 2016 Merewether Scholarship by the State Library of New South Wales, this project explores the place of snakes, venoms and vivisection in popularising natural history in late-Victorian Sydney.

Beyond the void: technology, air safety and Australian airspace, 1938-68. Commencing in mid-2016, my DECRA project focuses on Australian systems of aviation safety in civil and military settings over three critical decades. Ending with the final major airliner crash in Australia, this work investigates both human-technology interactions and the ways in which safety systems created a novel twentieth-century environment: airspace.

2018 Allan Martin Award, Australian Historical Association, for the project An Intimate Pandemic: fostering community histories of the 1918–19 influenza pandemic. This travel grant enables me to work with community historians across New South Wales to research and write locally meaningful accounts of the impact of the 'Spanish flu' in its centenary year.

2016 Merewether Scholarship, State Library of New South Wales for the projectCurios and curiosity: James Bray and the sunset of amateur science in colonial Sydney. I will use this scholarship to explore the place of snakes, venoms and vivisection in popularising natural history in late-Victorian Sydney.

2016 Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) for the project Black box re-order: technology, air safety and Australian airspace, 1938?68. This three-year project involves collaboration with the Airways Museum in Melbourne and substantial archival research into Australian civil aviation and the Royal Australian Air Force.
