Two of our fantastic keynotes for ANZAMEMS 2024 University of Canterbury @tandrews156 opened the conference and Wallace Cleaves was our closing keynote. It was an immense privilege to hear from them both.

It's absolutely disgusting to see the conditions that have been created and sustained by Israel in Gaza. Genocide in full view, and our cowardly political leaders are too afraid to acknowledge it.

My 300-level Colonisation students and I got to enjoy a guest lecture yesterday. Thanks again, Mapmaker. It was awesome!

‘Te Aka Whai Ora could have been a game-changer for Māori lives. But it was never even given a fighting chance to make a difference. Just like our whānau who keep dying before their time.’ - Tui MacDonald

UCSA is trying to take a 'say nothing and it will go away' approach to complaints about its ludicrous censuring of the Thursdays in Black student club for their activism on Palestine. But University of Canterbury academic support for the students won't stop. canta.co.nz/featured/7phzn…

Great to see UC students mobilise for justice

Iwi in the top of the South Island are disappointed the government has allocated $3.6 million of taxpayer funds to appeal the High Court's forthcoming decision in the Nelson Tenths case. rnz.co.nz/news/national/…

It was insulting to be subjected to this absurd reporting on the drive to work this morning, claiming that the US has worked so hard over so many months to end this crisis and now it's just up to Hamas. Do some actual journalism, RNZ. rnz.co.nz/national/progr…

A gorgeous advance copy of Whaea Blue by Talia Marshall! It exists!

"It is because of the moral failure of universities across the Western world to bear witness to and engage with the most profoundly significant, shattering moment of our time that students ... are doing what legal institutions, academic faculties ... have failed to do"

We are saddened to hear of the sudden death of Chris Jones. Chris was a great supporter of medieval studies in Aotearoa/New Zealand and of the Maori heritage there. Chris was a board member of our Foundation series. University of Canterbury
