New Zealand historian and academic (born 1939)
Elizabeth Mary Isichei (née Allo ; born 22 March 1939) is a New Zealand author, historian and academic.[1] [2]
Early life, family and education [ edit ]
Isichei was born Elizabeth Mary Allo in Tauranga , New Zealand, on 22 March 1939, the daughter of Albert (an agricultural scientist) and Lorna Allo.[2] [3] She was educated at Tauranga College , and attained the highest marks in New Zealand in the 1955 university entrance scholarship examinations.[4] She went on to study at the University of Canterbury , from where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1960 and won a senior university scholarship.[5] [6] She then completed a Master of Arts with first-class honours in history at Victoria University of Wellington in 1961.[2] Her honours thesis formed the basis of her book, Political Thinking and Social Experience , published in 1964.[7] She won a Commonwealth Scholarship and, after a brief period as a temporary assistant lecturer in history at the University of Canterbury, undertook doctoral studies at Nuffield College, Oxford .[8] [9] Her DPhil thesis, completed in 1967, was titled Quakers and society in Victorian England .[10]
At Oxford, Allo met Peter Isichei, a chemical pathologist. The couple became engaged in 1963,[11] and married on 23 July 1964, going on to have five children.[2] [9]
Academic career [ edit ]
Elizabeth Isichei was a professor in the Department of History at the University of Jos in Nigeria from 1976, and was general editor for Jos Oral History and Literature Texts .[2] She has said that having both a family and career "would not have been possible if my husband had not gone to any lengths to help and encourage me".[9] She was a visiting fellow at the University of Canterbury in 1984,[9] and in 1992 was appointed a professor of religious studies at the University of Otago .[12] [13] On her retirement from Otago in 2006, she was accorded the title of professor emeritus .[13]
Her works and books are centred on Christianity in Africa and the history of Nigeria particularly the Igbo people ,[14] including a biography of Michael Tansi , the first Nigerian Trappist monk.[9] She also wrote on contemporary developments in New Zealand Catholicism, and on the religious meanings of Colin McCahon 's art.[15]
In 1992, Isichei was awarded a Doctor of Letters degree by the University of Canterbury.[13] [16] She was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand in 1997, but no longer holds that fellowship.[17]
Before going to Oxford in 1962, Allo established a reputation as a poet, with her work appearing in publications including the Listener , Landfall , Comment and the Poetry Yearbook .[18] She returned to poetry in the 1990s, and her poems were published in the Listener , Winterspin , and various anthologies,[18] as well as her own published collections.[19]
Later life [ edit ]
Isichei's husband, Peter Isichei, died in 2023.[20]
