ATPS3: Final episode about the WTNW project - the podcast, the politics, the oppression, the future.

December 07, 2020 • Alice Te Punga Somerville & Wanda Ieremia-Allan

Taualuga series: final episode. Associate Professor Alice Te Punga Somerville discusses the inspiration behind the podcast; 'being too political', the 'Modernist' vibe and historical oppression in and by NZ Literary Studies.
This concludes a five month project of collaborative research which involved the acquisition of new digital, media skills, the tenacity to keep the momentum going and the conviction to mediate and keep telling 'our stories' in our own ways. The podcast has been co-produced (actually almost entirely created) by PhD student and WTNW researcher Wanda Ieremia.
