Professor Gisela Kaplan has a dual position in Biological Sciences and in Education at the University of New England. A prolific writer of over 250 research articles, she has so far written 18 books, some jointly with Prof. Lesley Rogers. Prof. Kaplan is contributor to many prestigious events and research publications concerned with animal behaviour, specifically primatology (primates) and ornithology (birds). She has also been commissioned to write about animal behaviour in popular magazines and printed media (such as Nature Australia, GEO, Endangered Species, The Australian and others) and is regularly heard on radio reporting her research, is also consultant on television documentaries and expert in the behaviour and rehabilitation of native Australian avian species. Prof. Kaplan lectures in third year Animal Behaviour and supervises Honours, Masters and PhD students in animal behaviour, specifically avian and primate research and animal welfare projects. Her main fields of interest include communication and higher cognition in animals and birdsong.

Affiliations

She is currently a

  • Life member of the International Primatological Society (IPS)
  • Elected member of the committee of the International Ornithological Congress (IOC)
  • Member of the Royal Society of New South Wales
  • Patron of the Dingo Conservation Society of Australia and
  • Chair of the NSW state Raptor team

She has been recognized as

  • Federation Community Services Award 2001 winner for community services to wildlife
  • Winner of a Wilderness Society Award (2005)
  • 2005 winner of the Australian Publishing Association Award single book category
  • 2005/6 book (Magpies) on CSIRO bestseller list
  • holds an ARC grant related to her research interests on higher cognition and communication in animals

She serves on various government panels for Australian research, on US and European national granting bodies and on over 20 international journals as assessor.

Research interests

Prof. Kaplan’s main research interests are in primate and avian behaviour (separately and in comparison, particularly on topics of higher cognition and communication). Over the past decade, she has particularly studied one of the foremost songbirds in the world (the Australian magpie, Gymnorhina tibicen) to make important points about communication, cognition, and the functions of song and mimicry providing important new information about vocal learning and brain plasticity. Her research on Australian magpies has offered an extremely rich field of discovery. Professor Kaplan has discovered (and has extensive records of) mimicry, discovered referential signaling in this species as well as stages of vocal development akin to stages of vocal development in human infants. In terms of the international importance of the topic of birdsong in neurobiology these findings are significant. Her research is supported by Australian Research Council (ARC) grants.

Background

Professor Gisela Kaplan grew up in Europe, mainly Berlin, and came to Australia, first to Melbourne, in 1968. In 1969 she was awarded a Commonwealth Undergraduate Scholarship for Excellence and then studied literature, and social science (Sociology/Psychology) at Monash University (Melbourne) and also a Commonwealth Postgraduate Research Award which allowed her to complete her first PhD, and then lectured at several Australian universities and overseas. She was visiting professor in Memphis,TN (USA) in 1989 and guest at the New School in New York and was then appointed Foundation Professor of Social Science and Head of the School of Social Science at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane.

Amongst her many publications in social science are the following books: Hannah Arendt: Thinking, Judging, Freedom  (1989), Contemporary Western European Feminism  (1992) with Allen and Unwin, the latter also UCL, London and New York University Press. She has contributed to such books as The Attractions of Fascism (ed. J.Milfull, Berg, 1990), The Idea of Europe (ed. B. Nelson et al., Berg, 1992) and United Germany and Europe, Towards 1990 and Beyond  (special double issue, European Studies Journal, vol.X, no.1-2,1993)and to a special volume on Citizenship and National Identity in Europe, that appeared in 1994. Other titles include SPECTRUM: Bibliography of Women in Australia 1945-1994, Redress Press (1994) and a comprehensive book on the Australian women's movement The Meagre Harvest, published by Allen and Unwin in 1996, now, in 2006, re-issued as an e-book. She has been joint editor of the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Sociology and up to the end of 1993 also editor-in-chief of the Australian Journal of Social Issues, vice-president of the Australian Sociological Association and has held a number of ministerial appointments concerned with social issues. Her chapters are found in such books as Australian Women: Contemporary Feminist Thought  (eds. Grieve and Burns, OUP, 1994), Challenging Racism and Sexism:  Alternatives to Genetic Determinism  (eds. Tobach and Rosoff, Feminist Press New York, 1994), which, in 1996, won the prestigious US Gustavus Myer Award for the most outstanding human rights publication. In 2001 her article on 'Race and Gender Fallacies' was included in Routledge's prestigious The Gender and Science Reader, offering a comprehensive analysis of the nature and practice of science. This has been followed by a book, jointly with Prof Lesley Rogers, entitled Gene Worship. Moving Beyond the Nature/Nurture Debate over Genes, Brain and Gender, published by Other Press LLC, New York and London, 2003.

Professor Kaplan has thus pursued two academic careers, first in social science and then in science, overlapping for ten years in both, as Professor of Social Science while simultaneously conducting research on orangutans in Borneo. A decision to finally profess to the discipline of animal behaviour came only in 1996 by taking a position in research at the Centre for Neuroscience and Animal Behaviour. A very productive time of many book publications in animal behaviour followed and the writing of a second PhD in her spare time. This second PhD in science on the vocal behaviour of magpies was awarded in 2005 in th School of Veterinary Science at the University of Queensland; hence, in some ways, she is a ‘young researcher’ and as excited about this research as a young researcher might be but with the advantage of already having had substantial experience in academia and in publishing. In this last decade she has become prominent in the field of animal behaviour and particularly in avian and primate research, taking an active role also in conservation issues.

Prof. Kaplan has a high international profile and is invited to many conferences and meetings and has been keynote speaker and guest speaker in many countries. Among memorable visits was the invitation to the Konrad Lorenz Institute, as a guest at the Institute. She contributes regularly to conference programs and symposia at the international conferences in primatology, ornithology and ethology. Prof Kaplan has also been ARC grant assessor for many years as well as assessor of grants in other countries, and assesses manuscripts for a wide range of international journals and prestigious publishing houses, has been editor in chief or on editorial boards for a number of journals.

She has now lived in rural Australia for 20 years and has used this opportunity of closeness to some of the most stunning national parks and high biodiversity to conduct field research on avifauna and to train PhD students also in field research in animal behaviour.
