History for me is very much aÌýliving thing, and knowing where we've come from and how we got here is vital to understanding,ÌýI think, who we are.ÌýÌý
But then I'm biased. I chose to study New Zealand history. I found it fascinating and I think it's an incredibly worthwhile subject. Ìý
And it's constantly being evaluated as historian and Massey University professor Michael Belgrave said on the Mike Hosking breakfast.ÌýTeaching subjects like colonisation is going to be contentious, but we have improved and we're constantly improving the way we evaluate history, and we teach that history.ÌýÌý
I agree with him. It's constantly being evaluated so I just don't think there's anything really to fear here.ÌýThere's nothing toÌýstartleÌýthe horses. It has come out of nowhere,Ìýthis hasÌýbeen a process that's been ongoing.ÌýEvery country shouldÌýlearn a little bit aboutÌýtheirÌýown history.ÌýÌý
And generally, when you learn these incredible stories, it sparks an interestÌýto learn the history of other people as well, soÌýI'm all for it.Ìý
