Diversity
“It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.” Desmond Tutu
Genealogy
Genealogy? Family History? – It’s more than you think
Over the next five weeks we will discover that often what starts out to be simple, curious research leads one on to many unexpected and exciting pathways.
Linguistics
This course is a follow-up to the popular linguistics course in 2019. It doesn’t have a single theme but is a course that looks at some of the ‘cool work’ that the linguistics staff at the University of Canterbury are doing in their research.
On Safari
Dr. Judith Coullie obtained her MA in English literature from Syracuse University (USA) and her PhD from the University of Natal. Before immigrating to New Zealand, she was Professor of English at the University Of KwaZulu-Natal. She is currently a learning advisor at the University of Canterbury.
In these five lectures, we trace the history of the safari movement from its origins in William Burchell’s recorded experiences of travel in southern Africa in the 1830’s through to some very recent (and some hair-raising!) accounts.
