Local history and family history: Distant relations, or close siblings?
Local history and family history have developed along quite separate paths in Aotearoa New Zealand, leading on the one hand to the domains of heritage and historical conservation, and on the other to genealogy networks and family commemorations. However, the two are much more intertwined than is often acknowledged. In this session, Professor Michael Belgrave and Dr Carol Neill will discuss the distinctions and intersections between family and local histories, using examples from research to draw conclusions on their relationship.
About the speakers
Carol Neill has a wide-ranging experience in teaching across history, education, and the broader social sciences, including global citizenship studies. Her academic research background was originally in Aotearoa New Zealand history, and PhD, completed in 2010, examined New Zealand’s trade policy history in relation to political, economic, and social goals of New Zealand society over the twentieth century. Since then, her research has expanded across economic and social development, education, and social history.
Since 2019 she has been very involved in researching the implications of the incoming compulsory Aotearoa New Zealand histories curriculum, completing two major projects in collaboration with History and Education colleagues from Massey University.
Michael Belgrave is a historian and foundation member of Massey's Albany campus. He was research manager of the Waitangi Tribunal and has continued to work on Treaty of Waitangi research and settlements. More recently he's been involved in negotiating the historical aspects of treaty settlements with iwi. He has published widely on treaty and Maori history. His most recent book, Dancing with the King, an exploration of diplomacy and peace-making in the decades between the Waikato War and the opening of the King Country, won the Ernest Scott Prize for the best Australasian history published in 2017.
