Description

Fascination with the interplay of people and place inspired the editors to bring together New Zealanders from differing backgrounds and disciplines to explore some of the stories and sites of conflict and change to be found amongst our sacred, historic, rural, urban and coastal landscapes. All engage with the underlying question: Are there better ways to reconcile the tensions inherent in our struggles with the land and each other?

Author description

All three editors are based at the University of Otago: Jacinta Ruru in the Faculty of Law, Janet Stephenson at the Centre for the Study of Agriculture, Food and Environment, and Mick Abbott at the Department of Design Studies.
