This paper makes extensive use of the print collection at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. Students study the major developments in the history of printmaking and learn to identify principal techniques and processes. You will become familiar with the specialised literature on prints and learn basic cataloguing procedures. You will have the opportunity to work on a research project focussing on a specific group of prints. This paper provides an opportunity for students to prepare a research essay on a topic in New Zealand economic or business history.
Students have the opportunity to develop an area of interest.
This paper will examine the major policy developments and changes in education in New Zealand since 1989 in the light of relevant historical, bicultural, theoretical and policy literature. From his teenage years as the son of pacifists in a world at war he was a deliberate non-conformist who relished his own description of himself as the 'sore thumb of the tribe'. This created problems for many commentators who find it difficult to separate Baxter the man from Baxter the poet. Not that we can ignore Baxter's life. The major emphasis of the paper is on Baxter the poet, but we will also examine the many representations of, and responses to, Baxter the man.
