Jean Isobel Martin FASSA (née Craig; 21 June 1923 – 25 September 1979) was an Australian sociologist who was a pioneer of the discipline in Australia.
[2] Martin lectured at the University of Sydney until the birth of her first child, after which she worked part-time and often carried out unpaid research.
She resigned due to ill health in 1974, subsequently taking up a senior fellowship in the Research School of Social Sciences at Australian National University.
Two works were published posthumously – The Ethnic Dimension (1981), a collection of her research papers, and The First Wave (1985), a "longitudinal investigation of Australia's earliest Vietnamese refugees".
[2] After her death the SAANZ established the Jean Martin Award for the best Australian doctoral thesis in her areas of interest.
