Dissent and the First World War Conference

Hosted by the Stout Research Centre for New Zealand Studies and the Labour History Project, with support from The Ministry for Culture and Heritage, and The Archives and Records Association of NZ (ARANZ), this two day conference will cover a range of topics on dissent, and how the First World War divided New Zealand society in many ways. This conference addressed the attention that has been paid to the perceptions and actions of those who opposed the war during the First World War centenary.
