Stout Research Centre for New Zealand Studies 25th anniversary conference
The Stout Research Centre for New Zealand Studies turns 25 this year. To celebrate we are organising a conference on the general theme of new directions in the study of history and culture-what is different about working in the Antipodes? How do we see the world and what are the ways in which we interpret it in this place at this time?
Within the general field of Aotearoa New Zealand history and culture, papers are invited on a range of topics which may include:
- Indigenous or comparative methodologies
- Cross cultural and/or cross disciplinary approaches
- Emerging or neglected fields of research
- Transnational approaches and topics
- Looking to the future-what will be the new directions?
Provisional speakers include:
Donald Akenson
Chris Hilliard
Tony Ballantyne
Aroha Harris
