On difficult histories with Avril Bell & Rowan Light

Join Sociologist Avril Bell and Historian Rowan Light for a conversation about the nature of difficult histories in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Drawing on their respective research practices to consider major historical events including Gallipoli/Çanakkale and the New Zealand Wars, Bell and Light will explore what makes a history ‘difficult’, the importance of understanding them and how they respond to them in their work as tangata Tiriti.

This talk will be held in The University of Auckland Clock Tower Room 032. This conversation will be recorded with a transcript published on Gus Fisher Gallery’s website at a later date.
