Re-thinking the traditional narrative of teaching Black Civil Rights in the UnitedStates.Presenter:EdWest
The history of the Black Civil Rights movement remains one of the most popular topics at NCEA Level 1 In the past 2 years we have been re-framing this history as “resistance to racial slavery”, from the landing of the first ships carrying enslaved people to the present day. This has given the missing voices of this historyenslaved people, sympathetic northerners, members of the NAACP both black and white, and women, a perspective that is equal to those who feature in the "high points'' of the 1960s Drawing on new thinking from the Brown University Choices programme and the Zinn Education Project, we believe a broader, more diverse narrativeofresistancehasimprovedtheoutcomesforallourlearners.Thishasalso linked the US struggle more meaningfully to that of Pacifika and Māori peoples in Aotearoa
EdisaHistoryteacherfromWellington,withover20yearsofexperienceNewZealandandtheKoreanWar-CommunismandColdWarPoliticsinthe 1950s.Presenter:Dr.JongwooHan
One of the key reasons that New Zealand entered the Korean War was a concern over Communist aggression. New Zealand's involvement in Korea from 1950-1957 reflected concerns over the influence of Communism internationally and domestically Despite the passage of 70 years, the Korean War has not finished Rather, it continues to evolve as the centre of contemporary conflicts along the supply line of global logistics, which identically corresponds to the Acheson Line that inadvertently invited communist attack of South Korea in 1950.

The Understanding Vā workshop will explore this Pacific concept in a social context and as a lens for understanding history, specifically in relation to the ‘Big Idea’ that power relationships often drive history. It will unpack the conceptual framework suggested in our Understanding Vā resource and the ways this can be woven through some topics common to many Level 1 programmes. There will be an opportunity to consider how this conceptual framework of vā or other understandings of the concept could be used within your own school’s History programme.
