The Centre for Research on Colonial Culture is supporting a new initiative concerned with globalising local histories through the Global Dunedin project. We outlined this new initiative briefly in a post last month, but you can read about it in more detail in this news item from the University of Otago. Tony Ballantyne, Director of CRoCC and who has taken the lead on developing Global Dunedin, says the project is “the first of its kind for the University and for Dunedin. We think it is an important undertaking because our city is packed with really compelling and interesting stories. And sharing those stories is one way in which we might help strengthen the bonds of community”. We hope you’ll take an interest in Global Dunedin by following the blog and attending the associated public lectures, which are held on the second Sunday of each month at Toitu Otago Settlers Museum.
