CALL FOR PAPERS New Zealand Oral History Conference
Stout Research Centre for New Zealand Studies and the National Oral History Association of New Zealand (NOHANZ) Te Kete Kōrero-a-Waha o Te Motu Victoria University of Wellington
3 – 5 July 2020
Ko wai mātou? Who are we?
A common thread runs through the contemporary work of many philosophers, economists, geneticists, historians and novelists world-wide. Who are we? What unites us? What separates us? As we in Aotearoa New Zealand grapple with the consequences of colonisation 250 years on, questions of personal and collective identity resonate on multiple levels. Do we share any form of collective identity?
We invite papers that explore “who are we?” in different and interesting ways.
- There are multiple social and cultural dimensions to identity – iwi/hapu, family, ethnicity, occupation, class, sexuality, generation, and gender among them.
- How do we navigate the personal and collective multiplicity of identities that are part and parcel of everyday life?
- In what ways are these identities perceived to overlap?
- How do we negotiate conflicting identities?
- Past or present – which matters more when considering who we are?
- Are our life narratives our self-identities?
Through the medium of interviews and life narratives oral historians are able to record a rich diversity of perspectives and make a contribution to understanding the question “Ko wai mātou?” or “Who are we?”.
Keynote speakers include:
(Waskam) Emelda Davis, founding member and chairwoman of Australian South Sea Islanders (Port Jackson) in Sydney, speaking on ‘Children of the Sugar Slaves’.
and
Na Li, Research Fellow and Professor in the Department of History, Zhejiang University, China, speaking on “Oral History, Public Memory, and Political Identity: A Transnational Dialogue”. To be confirmed.
Workshops:
There will be workshops on Friday 3 July at the National Library, Wellington.
To submit a proposal

Postponement of Oral History Conference
It is with great regret that the Stout Centre and the National Oral History Association of New Zealand have decided that we will postpone the oral history conference planned for July at Victoria University of Wellington.
We feel that there are too many uncertainties at this point. First, uncertainty around the trajectory of the Coronavirus, including the possibility that community circulation of the virus may persist for several months.
Secondly, a concern that potential participants may decide to stay at home to protect their health. We therefore feel it would be unwise to proceed as originally planned with the conference in early July.
We will be discussing possible alternatives, and we will keep you posted about our plans.
Message from the Alexander Turnbull Library
Oral history services in the time of COVID-19
As with similar institutions, the Alexander Turnbull Library has temporarily suspended its public services that would normally be delivered in person. This includes our popular oral history training workshops. Please email me lynette.shum@dia.govt.nz to be on the list for any updates, or for any oral history advice. I will continue to support you where I can, based on the resources I can muster remotely.
In the meantime, here is a message from the Oral History Society (UK):
The OHS recommends that all face to face oral history interviewing be postponed until further notice. There are many remote means of interviewing people (such as Zoom, Webex and Skype) but they are not a substitute for face to face interviews, are often poor audio quality, and tend to result in digital files that cannot be archived. If interviews can be postponed, then the Society thinks this is the best course of action to maintain best practice. However, the Society recognises that members might wish to explore remote means and we invite wider discussion on this via our Facebook page: https://en-gb.facebook.com/OralHistorySociety/
Please stay safe and well, and be kind

WEBINAR
Past President of NOHANZ Megan Hutching presents an Auckland Libraries HeritageTalk:
Glen Innes & Panmure: Stories of change with Megan Hutching Wednesday 15 April 12noon-1pm
In this live webinar, historian and author Megan Hutching will discuss changes past and present of Glen Innes and Panmure.
In 1990 a series of oral history interviews were recorded with residents of Glen Innes and Panmure, capturing stories of the area as a place of change after the Second World War. Using these interviews Megan Hutching will talk about the mid-twentieth century history of the area and compare that period of change with the changes the area is currently experiencing.
