The talk will feature three speakers, all familiar faces at the Hocken who are putting its resources to good use in their postgraduate research.
Andrew Lorey is researching past processes of manufacturing and product design through detailed analysis of the organisation development and commercial outputs of J. & W. Faulkner Ltd., a wire-working and light engineering firm in Dunedin.
Josh Stewart is researching Tauiwi engagement with te reo Māori in the period 1769-1844. He examines modes of acquisition of the language, the textual cultures that developed, the impacts of te reo Māori engagement on Tauiwi and the impacts on te reo Māori itself.
Forrest Wilson’s thesis examines patriotism in the Otago province from the 1850s to the 1870s. Through an analysis of political communications (mainly newspapers) the research aims to demonstrate the use, propagation and development of the patriotic discourse in provincial Otago.
