Dr Martin Fisher - Out of sight/out of mind: Ngāi Tahu and the development of Christchurch
Ngāi Tahu occupation of the area that is now Christchurch stretches back hundreds of years, but only recently has Ngāi Tahu been able to reaffirm its footprint in the city. Ngāi Tahu had a series of kainga/villages and mahinga kai/food gathering sites stretched around and within the current Christchurch region. Once the city began to be established following Kemp’s Deed in 1848, Ngāi Tahu began to be excluded from the life of the developing urban centre. Despite provisioning and feeding these early settlers, once Christchurch and the Canterbury region settlers began to be self-sustaining it was made clear to Ngāi Tahu that they were not welcome. This talk will explore some of the early history of interactions between Ngāi Tahu and the city of Christchurch through to the mid-twentieth century.

Dr Rosamund Oates - Deafness in Renaissance Europe
We think we know about the renaissance, but this talk offers a fresh perspective by looking at the period through deaf eyes. Rosamund Oates explores the lives of deaf people in early modern Europe (1450-1750), showing the importance of sign language in churches, courts and in families. She will then tell some little-known stories of deaf artists in the renaissance – with examples from the Sistine Chapel to the Dutch Golden Age – to ask what the experiences of deaf people can tell us about renaissance society. Dr Rosamund Oates is an Associate Professor of History at Manchester Metropolitan University in the UK, where her research has been supported by the British Academy and the Leverhulme Trust. She is currently in Christchurch as a Canterbury Fellow with the department of History at the University of Canterbury. She has published widely on deafness and early modern religious cultures, appeared on Radio 4, and runs the Cultures of Disability research cluster.
