    Member of New Zealand Historical Association
    10 Mar 2017
    Member of New Zealand Historical Association, 2003-2010. As a member I shared perspectives with the Association's leadership to advise them to develop a formalised relationship with the New Zealand History Teachers Association. This relationship has now eventuated as a direct result of my strategic input. I also advised academic historians/colleagues about my concerns regarding the trend of New Zealand history teachers avoiding Māori content. I also shared my concerns that the new History curriculum (2011) had minimal Māori historians input into its design.
