Oral history in India
This presentation draws on Indira’s attempts over the last decade and a half to create archives of different institutions and organisations. This work has in the context of oral history work undertaken in India.
Consequences of colonialism
Indira's discusses the consequences of colonialism. A colonialism that defined Indians as being steeped in backward traditions and lacking in history. She says that this needs to be kept in mind when trying to assemble an archive of a formerly colonised people.
Critical ways to interpret oral history archive within postcolonial context
Indira argues that the insights gained from interacting with 'unheard voices' enable us to understand elite oral histories from Indian institutions. In what ways do new forms of historical representation incorporate older forms of cultural memory and oral traditions?
This presentation will attempt to show how we might re-understand the idea of collecting an oral history archive and the critical ways in which we might interpret its contents within a postcolonial context.

We are currently working south across the intersection of Evans Bay Parade and Kilbirnie Crescent.
This map shows our area of work and diversions that are currently in place.
Once we have moved through this intersection we will be working towards the intersection of Rongotai Road and Bay Road (approx. mid-August).
We appreciate your continued patience as we work to reduce flooding risk in Kilbirnie.

What do you think about your nurses rejecting the latest pay offer from District Health Boards? It's now been confirmed that 24 hours of strike action will begin at 7am Thursday.
A "majority" of the New Zealand Nurses' Organisation's (NZNO) more-than-30,000 members have chosen to take industrial action - a move described as "unprecedented".
What do you think about Thursday's strike? Were you surprised they rejected the last offer? Or do you think they deserve more? Let us know in the replies!
