About this Event
Speakers: Tina Makereti and David Stirrup
How does ‘place’ shape Indigenous literatures? From Aotearoa (New Zealand) to London, and from the early 19th century to the near future, Tina Makereti’s novels explore Māori histories of displacement and mobility, British colonialism, climate change and climate refugeeism.
Join Tina in conversation with David Stirrup of the University of York and enjoy readings from the Māori author’s three novels, including The Mires, which was a finalist of the 2025 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards.
