The power of place naming
About this Event

This panel is to celebrate a century of the Geographic Board Ngā Pou Taunaha o Aotearoa at the New Zealand Geographical Conference.

Geographers from Aotearoa, Ireland and Australia will come together to discuss the power of place naming in a keynote panel.

Representing a variety of perspectives – international, historical, policy, and cultural politics –these geographers will discuss the way place naming is critical to the identity of towns, cities, regions and nations. In keeping with the conference theme – Fluid Geographies – the panel will discuss how and why place names change due to, for example, colonisation. When Indigenous place names are erased or replaced with English names, so too are the stories they tell.

This is a free public event. Come to hear more about Ngā Pou Taunaha o Aotearoa, the Geographic Board, and some of its 100 years of existence.

Details about the entire conference (20 – 22nd November) can be found here:
