We sincerely hope you can join us to hear Gavin Bishop deliver his lecture \u201cTO\u0304KU WHENUA: <\/span>New Zealand Stories for New Zealand Children.\u201d\u00a0 Gavin is a much-loved chiidren\u2019s author and illustrator, but many of his books tackle very adult themes such as te ao M\u0101ori, colonialism, and war.\u00a0 His deep knowledge of NZ history informs his very thoughtful depictions of our nation.\u00a0 Few authors could have more insight into our perennial question of \u201cWhat do books do in Aotearoa and the world?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Gavin Bishop O.N.Z.M. has published 80 books that have been translated into 12 languages. He has won Best NZ Children’s Book of the Year five times, Best Illustrated Children’s Book of the Year five times and Best Non- Fiction Children’s Book of the Year three times. In 2018 he was awarded the Te Tohu a Ta Kingi Ihaka for a lifetime contribution to Maori Art and culture and in 2019 the Prime Minister\u2019s Award for Literary Achievement. He has recently been nominated for the 2024 Hans Christian Andersen Award, the highest award for Children’s Literature in the world.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The lecture will take place at 5:30 in Archway 1.<\/p>\r\n

If you are unable to be in Dunedin or join us in person, the talk will also be livestreamed (https:\/\/www.otago.ac.nz\/its\/services\/teaching-and-research-services\/streaming\/video-streaming-channel-1)<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n

Apology: We regret that there will be no dinner following the lecture this year.\u00a0 Complexities of payment and\u00a0 modern diets combined with few spaces flexible enough to accommodate our unpredictable numbers have made the planning a bit overwhelming.\u00a0 However, we remain open to advice on how to manage such a function in future.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
