【 摘 要 】

Australian art and architectural historian Joan Kerr (1938-2004) championed many little-known artists in her democratic approach to Australian art history. As an architectural historian she held strong views on how heritage restoration should be conducted. Joan Kerr in context: a biography, from which this essay is taken, is a biography of Joan Kerr, arranged in chapters that deal with particular aspects of her career while also moving forward in time along her life’s journey. Tradition and its transformation: Joan Kerr, housewife to historian focuses on her coming of age as a scholar: her postgraduate studies and subsequent research in architectural history, in particular her impressive body of work on Australian nineteenth-century architecture.
