With several centuries of history before and after British colonization, many Kiwis are familiar with the framework of New Zealand history but not all the ways that the past has shaped the present. In this course we discuss New Zealand's relatively short history through several different lenses: social, cultural, economic, political and more. Together we will hopefully build a deeper understanding of how our bi-cultural heritage, yet multicultural history, all fits together.
