“…In retrospect, the dedicated founders were perhaps naïve about the challenges of a remote site far from their home base, but its innovative strategies for living and working on the rugged west side of Vancouver Island provided research opportunities for women interested in marine science that were rare in the early twentieth century. The station, built by faculty at a public Midwestern university, reflected a turn of the century moment when that region sought to assert itself as both significant and distinctive (Bain 1916 ; Larson 2007 ). 100 The land grant universities, operating without much philanthropic support and increasingly dependent on fees and tuition, used such sites among their strategies to pursue research in the early twentieth century.…”

In the case of geology, this also reflected a degree of tension about expanding federal jurisdiction regarding scientific investigation (Bain 1916 ; Manning 1967 , pp. 115–120).…”

Mentorship and collaboration necessarily shaped opportunities for women in science, especially in the late nineteenth century at rapidly expanding public co-educational universities. A few male faculty made space for women to establish their own research programs and professional identities. At the University of Minnesota, botanist Conway MacMillan, an ambitious young department chair, provided a qualified mentorship to Josephine Tilden. He encouraged her research on algae and relied on her to do departmental support tasks even as he persuaded the administration to move her from instructor to assistant professor in 1903. Resulting publications on Minnesota algae led her to look further west, first at Yellowstone National Park and then along the Pacific Northwest coast. After visiting a particularly productive littoral site on Vancouver Island, she suggested that they establish a Minnesota Seaside Station there. Over its seven years in operation under the Midwestern leaders, that location proved remarkably productive. At the remote site, the two operated within their typical but not inevitable gendered roles and deliberately defined their seaside station as unconventional. They expected participants to study productively and, at the same time, find imaginative ways to enjoy nature at a place far from urban amenities. Gendered expectations remained casual as participants moved both within and against them. This study investigates how, in the early twentieth century, the role and expectations of mentorship shifted as Tilden established her own independent research agenda. The Minnesota Seaside Station, in particular, proved significant in developing the leadership skills essential for her to pursue research in the Pacific region at a time when American expansionism and indigenous cooperation made sites accessible to academic researchers.

Dilemmas of Settler Belonging: Roots, Routes and Redemption in New Zealand National Identity Claims

This paper explores the identity markers and rules used in the process of national identity construction by young adult New Zealanders, drawing on empirical data from qualitative interviews with members of the majority culture of 'Pakeha' or 'European' New Zealanders. While these young New Zealanders draw on the markers of 'birth', 'blood' and 'belonging' identified in other studies, their claims to identity and belonging are troubled by the settler origins of their ancestors. The dilemmas these origins create for these young New Zealanders are identified along with the strategies they deploy as they seek to resolve them. The existence of these dilemmas suggests that a distinct identity rule is at work for this group that has not previously been identified in earlier studies. Thus, this analysis provides further evidence for the deployment of a common set of markers and rules as well as highlighting some of the ways in which these differ in different national contexts.In any society the dominant national culture is typically unproblematically 'at home'. The nation is first of all theirs and their belonging unquestionable. Within the New Zealand context however, the dominant national culture has settler -migrant and colonizing -origins. Their occupation of the homeland is then not so straightforwardly secured. Others were there before them. As settlers, they claim a national identity, but as Richard Handler (1990: 8) has expressed it, they are 'not the natives of choice' and remain plagued by an 'ontological unease' (Bell, 2006: 254). There is now an extensive literature on the difficulties of the contemporary white settler identities that have developed in the former British colonies of New Zealand, Australia, Canada and South Africa. 2 This literature is primarily based on historical and representational analyses -with anthropology (for example Lattas, 1990;Wolfe, 1994), museum studies (for example, Coombes, 2006) and literary criticism (for example, Goldie, 1989;Hodge and Mishra, 1991;Collingwood-Whittick, 2007) predominating. There has been little sociological analysis of settler identities (although see Stasiulis and Yuval Davis, 1995) and even less based on the empirical data provided by interview research.
