New EarthDiverse course: “Tudor Women Who Moulded the Monarchy”

todd from EarthDiverse

From green sleeves to iron-fisted Queens - come and discover women who have shaped history! In the wake of Her Late Majesty’s passing, this course reflects on the female leaders of the monarchy, exploring how their gender impacted their reign and legacy. Focusing on the Tudor period, we journey from the green sleeves of Anne Boleyn to the Catholic tyranny of Mary. This course explores the antithetical female leaders and their role in shaping British History at a time of significant change, the beginning of the birth of modern Europe.

This Zoom course meets on Tuesday evenings from 7:00-8:00 pm beginning on Tuesday 18 October 2022. There are 5 consecutive weekly sessions.

Bring a friend along for good measure and support our rangatahi teaching in our Junior Lecturer series.

What do you make of this purchase?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Those involved in ploughing $1.6m in ratepayer cash into a property in Te Aroha which can’t be used for its intended purpose and is unlikely to be sold without taking a loss are defending their decision.

In June 2022, the Matamata-Piako District Council agreed to buy a 7.2ha rural-zoned lifestyle block on the outskirts of Te Aroha for $1.29m, intending re-zone it as industrial.
