For a snapshot of the importance of 19th-century neutrality, see my 8-minute performance for the University of Auckland's Research Excellence Forum.

RadioNZ taped a panel discussion I took part in at the Auckland War Memorial Museum with my colleagues Drs Felicity Barnes and Maria Armoudian, hosted by Jim Mora. For an audio link to the event: www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/smarttalk/20160501. In the talk, we discuss the Armenian genocide, the global changes wrought by the 1914-1918 conflict and the peculiar impact of the war on New Zealand. In the process, we challenge a few myths. Well worth a listen.
If you are interested in the First World War, I would highly recommend attending the Myriad Faces of War: 1917 and its Legacies Symposium being held at Te Papa Museum of New Zealand (Wellington, NZ) in April 2017. Some of the biggest names in WWI history will be presenting. Early bird registrations close on 3 February! |
