Aotearoa NZ in World History: Islands and Peoples/Ko Aotearoa Tēnei

Description

Who are Aotearoa New Zealand's people? How and when did they get here? New Zealand is the last major land mass settled by humans. What does this mean for its peoples and the world? In this course we interweave two major historical strands of Aotearoa's rich history, Māori and Pākehā, to answer these and other questions. You will explore and analyse stories of first arrivals, first encounters, trade, love, politics and education. Histories of structural power - iwi, rangatiratanga, colonialism and capitalism - with everyday histories of home, solidarity and resistance. How does New Zealand position itself in global terms? And perhaps even more importantly, when? HIST 112 is designed as a face-to-face course. See Teaching Format for further details. This course is delivered primarily on campus, with online accessibility. Most students will attend on campus, however the course can be completed online if necessary.
