James Austin Copland Mackie (1924–2011), known as Jamie Mackie, was an Australian academic, described by The Australian as one of the country's "pioneers of its post-war engagement with Asia" [1] and by The Age as having had a "distinguished academic career to the study of post-colonial south-east Asia."[1] Born in Kandy to the Australian manager of a tea plantation,[2] he studied in Melbourne and Oxford before working "with the Colombo Plan in Jakarta from 1956 to 1958, working with the newly established National Planning Bureau."[1] He taught at the University of Melbourne (1958–1967)[3] and Monash University (1968–1978)[3] and edited the ASAA Review. He is also credited with playing a major role in the dismantling of the White Australia policy, which severely restricted non-White migration. [4] After his death, the J.A.C. Mackie Memorial Endowment was established by the Australian National University to fund travel scholarships to Southeast Asia for undergraduate or graduate students.[5][6]
