Nigel Murphy will present on the history of the New Zealand China Friendship Society.<\/p>\n
Nigel has studied Chinese New Zealand history for around 40 years and has visited China on a number of occasions. He worked at the Alexander Turnbull Library for some 25 years and at the Waitangi Tribunal as a report writer. His MA thesis was on how New Zealand\u201fs national identity played a key role in its attitude to Chinese people, both in New Zealand and in China itself. He has lectured and published on a wide range of aspects of the Chinese New Zealand experience.<\/p>\n
