Those interested in our new History course entitled "A Political History of Modern Fiji" with Dr Tom White, PhD can register now by clicking on the Read More button below. This course begins tomorrow (Thursday evening 7:00pm). Check the web page for local time zone equivalents in your corner of the globe. This course is available as an in-person class, live-streamed via Zoom, or as video recordings to catch up with at your leisure if you can't make the live sessions.

• This course introduces and debates Fiji’s most significant political events, its national leaders and its most divisive constitutional questions from the mid-19th Century.
• Beginning with the imperial ambitions of the mighty warlord and chief Ratu Seru Cakobau, the course examines how Fiji’s history of missionary contact, British indirect rule, Indian indenture, independence and repeat ethno-nationalist coups culminated in the 2006 take-over by the military strongman and moderniser Voreqe Bainimarama, as well as his subsequent 2022 electoral defeat to his old nemesis, Sitiveni Rabuka, and very recent imprisonment.

Check out this and all of our other history, philosophy and language courses on offer on our website.
