The Stout Research Centre for New Zealand Studies together with the Ministry for Culture & Heritage is holding a multidisciplinary conference, on ‘rethinking war’, and has made a call for papers.
A particular emphasis has been placed on New Zealand’s role in the First World War in the call for papers.
“So much work has been produced on the Gallipoli landings, trench warfare, the ANZAC symbolism, war memorials etc that there might seem little else to say. But long experience tells us we don’t know what we don’t know, especially on the home front; and there must be plenty of space for revisiting the events of 1914-18 almost a century later”.
Submissions must be made by June 1st 2013.
The conference will be held on the 28th-30th November 2013.
