BRIEF CURRICULUM VITAE Richard Cashman

Overview Richard Cashman was born and grew up in Sydney (Hornsby). He attended North Sydney Boys’ High School earning a Commonwealth Scholarship to attend the University of Sydney. After completing his BA Honours in History at the University of Sydney and MA Honours at Monash University, Cashman was awarded a James B. Duke Fellowship to complete his PhD at Duke University. He was awarded an honorary membership of Phi Beta Kappa for his doctorate on the subject of the Indian nationalist politician Bal Gangadhar Tilak. His PhD was later published by the University of California Press in 1975. He then taught for four-and-a-half years in the Department of History at the University of Rochester (USA) before returning to Australia to teach history at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney. Cashman was one of the pioneers of sports history in Australia, helping to organise the first Sporting Traditions at UNSW in 1977. He helped found the Australian Society for Sports History (ASSH) in 1983 and was the editor of its journal, Sporting Traditions, from 1993 to 1999 and was President of ASSH from 2001 to 2004. He became the second Honorary Life Member of ASSH in 1995. Cashman has also contributed significantly to Olympic studies in Australia. He was the founding director of the Centre for Olympic Studies at UNSW in 1996 and when he moved to the University of Technology, Sydney, in 2005 became the founding director of the Australian Centre for Olympic Studies, a position that he still holds. He has published many books on the Olympic and Paralympic Games, focusing on legacy in particular. It was because of his work on legacy that he invited to become visiting professor in Olympic Studies at the Autonomous University of Barcelona from September to November 2002. He was a keynote speaker at the first conference on legacy at the International Olympic Committee in November 2002. Since 1975, Cashman has published 40 books (13 as sole author, 11 with other authors and 16 edited works) and produced numerous scholarly articles and chapters in books on a variety of topics: sport in Australia and Asia, the history of individual sports such as cricket, the Australian involvement in the Olympic and the Paralympic Games, local history and heritage and other themes such as the globalisation and Americanisation of Australian sport and culture. He has twice won the annual Literary Award of the Australian Cricket Society for the best cricket book published in Australia. He has also contributed some 20 entries to the prestigious Australian Dictionary of Biography, which first appeared in 1966. He has also published a number of textbooks on Australian sport, history and culture. Paradise of Sport: A History of Australian Sport was published in 1995 and reprinted in 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2009. This book, which

was revised and reprinted in 2010 and 2012, has been adopted as a text at a number of Australian universities. Sport in the National Imagination: Australian Sport in the Federation Decades, was published in 2001. Cashman joined with Rob Hess to publish a customised text, Sport, History and Australian Culture: Passionate Pursuits (2011), which has been a set text for a sports history subject at Victoria University in 2011, 2012 and 2013. Cashman has helped promote discussion on sports history teaching within the Australian Society for Sports History. He is the co-editor of a special volume of Sporting Traditions, devoted to sports history teaching, which will be published in 2013. Since the late 1990s, he has devised niche subjects for Study Abroad students, mainly from the USA. He also taught specialist short courses for Olympic administrators and sports officials in Beijing in 2006, 2007 and 2009. He was invited to deliver the 3rd RG Neale on 30 October 2008 (a lecture sponsored by the National Archives of Australia and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The lecture was subsequently published. Since 1989, Cashman has been the Managing Director of the Australian Sports Consultancy Pty Ltd (ASC), which has provided advice and undertaken research for a number of clients. He was also Managing Director of Walla Walla Press, which was formed in 1997, being a division of ASC. Since then, Walla Walla Press has published many scholarly works on sport and also created a sports history dissertation series, thus making available outstanding doctoral theses. Cashman has been prominent in national and international media: print, radio and television. He has also written frequent opinion and reflective pieces for local and national newspapers. During the 1970s and 1980, he wrote a regular feature for the monthly magazine, Australian Cricketer. He was elected an alderman of Marrickville Council and served one term (1980–2). During the 1980s, he was one of the founders of (and third President) of the Marrickville Heritage Society (formed in 1984). He joined with local historians, Chrys Meader and Anne Carolan, to write a two-volume history of Marrickville (the community in which he lives). Cashman has undertaken much voluntary work within his community and his discipline. Since 1997, he has been the Executive Officer of the Tom Brock Bequest Society, which organises and annual lecture on rugby league and offers a postgraduate scholarship. From the mid-1980s until the mid-1990s, Cashman was secretary of the Marrickville-Pagewood Cricket Club (and captain of the 4th grade team). For his services to the club he was awarded a Life Membership. He contributed in various ways to the Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games. He helped organise a research service, which enhanced the operation of the Main Press Centre during the Games. He was engaged to write for the official Post-Games Report reporting on four sports (archery, beach volleyball, swimming and taekwondo). Cashman was selected as a community torch-bearer and carried the Olympic torch in Marrickville, the day before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
