С конца 1950-х гг. в центральных советских археологических учреждениях - в Институте археологии и в Ленинградском отделении Института археологии АН СССР функционировали методологические семинары. История их деятельности в 1960-е - начале 1970-х гг. до сих пор остается малоизученной. На основе архивных материалов и публикаций была установлена тематика докладов, обсуждавшихся в этот период на заседаниях методсеминаров обоих институтов. Темы данных докладов могут быть отнесены к следующим категориям: проблемы первобытности; проблемы социоисторических реконструкций; проблемы палеоэкологии в археологии; идеологические представления древних обществ; проблемы этносоциальных реконструкций. Эта проблематика соответствует перечню наиболее актуальных тем, упомянутых в передовых статьях журнала «Советская археология». Методологические семинары, хоть и имели первоначальное идеологическое назначение, однако использовались как площадка для дискуссий по актуальным проблемам археологии того времени, а в 1970-е -1980-е гг. - также и для апробации новейших теоретических концепций. Methodo1ogica1 workshops were oгgaшzed in central Soviet archaeo1ogica1 адепслех such as the Institute of Archaeo1ogy and the Leningrad Ьranch of the Institute of Archaeology, USSR Academy of Sciences, starting from the late 1950s. Their history in the 1960s - early 1970s is still understudied. The examination of archival materials and publications established topics of the papers discussed at the methodological workshops in both institutes at that time such as issues of prehistory; issues of social and historical reconstructions; issues of paleoecology in archaeology; ideological concepts of the earliest societies; issues of ethnosocial reconstructions. These thematical areas are in line with the most relevant topics mentioned in leading papers published by Soviet Archaeology. While initially methodological workshops pursued an ideological aim, over time they turned into a platform for discussing relevant issues of archaeology and even testing most advanced theoretical concepts in the 1970s-1980s.

The author writes about Professor Stefan Żółkiewski’s theoretical concepts and three decades of scholarship, beginning with the 1960s and including lectures at the University of Warsaw’s Department of Polish Philology, directing work in the Department of Social Sciences of the Polish Academy of Sciences, initiating interdisciplinary studies of contemporary culture, editing journal ‘Kultura i Społeczeństwo’, and popularizing semiotics. The author writes about Professor Żółkiewski’s connection with the Institute of Literary Research, of which he was the founder and first director, and about the establishment of the Workshop on Research into Literary Culture and the creation of a new discipline—knowledge of literary culture. The author remembers Professor Żółkiewski as her mentor and friend.

The life of the prominent scholar and organizer of science and Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences S.R. Mikulinskii (19191991), who determined strategic directions for the development of the history of science and lay the foundation for the science of science in the 1960s 1980s, was full of tragic turns. In his biography, it is said that his years of schooling were followed by his volunteering for the army during the Great Patriotic War, years of being a prisoner in first Nazi, and then Soviet, camps, followed by years of studies and a meteoric scientific career that abruptly ended with his expulsion from the USSR Academy of Sciences, Institute for the History of Science and Technology that he himself had nurtured. Under his guidance, prominent scientists in a wide range of disciplines were brought together at the Institute, which reached the peak of its development having become a globally recognized center for the advancement of thought in the history of science.

The article introduces a previously unpublished speech of the outstanding Russian scientist-physicist, President of the USSR Academy of Sciences, academician Sergey Ivanovich Vavilov, which was delivered by him at the anniversary meeting held on June 5, 1949, at the monument to Alexander Pushkin in Moscow in connection with the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the great Russian poet’s birth. S.I. Vavilov was a great connoisseur of Pushkin’s poetry and literature about him. In the second half of the 1940s, Vavilov actively participated in projects to prepare the anniversary celebrations dedicated to Alexander Pushkin and perpetuate the memory of the poet. Analysis of S.I. Vavilov’s speech, which, unlike his other “Pushkin speeches”, was not intended for the press, shows that in evaluating the great poet’s work, along with the use of cliches, traditional for the epoch, the scientist also took certain liberties. In particular, he did not utter the ritual words praising Stalin, the Communist Party and the Soviet State. The poet Ya.P. Polonsky quoted by Vavilov was not among the classics recognized by Soviet literary criticism, and the selected quote from him could be interpreted as a hint of condemnation of the surrounding Stalinist reality. Numerous fragments of the scientist’s personal diaries indicate his critical attitude towards the latter, in particular.

Abstract There is clear evidence that Indigenous education has changed considerably over time. Indigenous Australians' early experiences of ‘colonialised education’ included missionary schools, segregated and mixed public schooling, total exclusion and ‘modified curriculum’ specifically for Indigenous students which focused on teaching manual labour skills (as opposed to literacy and numeracy skills). The historical inequalities left a legacy of educational disparity between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Following activist movements in the 1960s, the Commonwealth Government initiated a number of reviews and forged new policy directions with the aim of achieving parity of participation and outcomes in higher education between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Further reviews in the 1980s through to the new millennium produced recommendations specifically calling for Indigenous Australians to be given equality of access to higher education; for Indigenous Australians to be employed in higher education settings; and to be included in decisions regarding higher education. This paper aims to examine the evolution of Indigenous leaders in higher education from the period when we entered the space through to now. In doing so, it will examine the key documents to explore how the landscape has changed over time, eventually leading to a number of formal reviews, culminating in the Universities Australia 2017–2020 Indigenous Strategy (Universities Australia, 2017).
