New Zealand Histories: Fresh Perspectives
15 Points
Aim/Objectives
This paper aims to lead students through a rich narrative of key events in New Zealand's past, exploring the ways in which Maori and Pakeha have negotiated a place for themselves in Aotearoa/New Zealand, while Aotearoa/New Zealand negotiates for itself a place in the world. Students are encouraged to unpack the concept of the New Zealand 'nation' and wrestle with the following questions: Have we been an outpost of the British Empire or an independent Pacific Island? Have we been a nation of iwi, of settlers, or of the crown? And who decides what the 'New Zealand' nation actually comprises?
The main topics under investigation include: migration and resettlement; cultural encounters; environmental change; conflict and negotiation; political and economic initiatives; and social and cultural change in terms of law and order, education, health, welfare, class, sport, leisure and gender. These topics are explored for the ways in which they shed light on the themes of national identity, nationalism or nationhood, in New Zealand.
