MEMORY AND NATION

This Tohu Maumahara (symbol of remembrance), a carved gateway made of salvaged totara, was unveiled at Rangiriri in 2012 on the 149th anniversary of the battle there. It commemorates all those who died in the conflict, one of the most important of the Waikato War. Photo: Vincent O’Malley.

A further strand of my work involves history, memory and nationhood. My research in the field of transitional justice highlights the contested nature of how we remember— and forget— in settler-colonial nations where past violence against indigenous populations remains unresolved. This page is under development. I will add to it soon.
