EarthDiverse Term 4 History courses:
EarthDiverse is pleased to announce its newest series of History courses! We're offering two new courses in this series:
1. A History of Death (Weds 11am-1pm beginning 21 Oct):
This series of 8 talks explores, historically, the subject of death from the perspective of several different disciplines: religion (both traditional and contemporary), philosophy, art, literature, music and film. Lots of discussion too!
2. An Introduction to European Art History:
(Tuesdays 7-9pm beginning 20 Oct):
If you have always wanted to find out more about the major époques of European art and to identify major styles of architecture, sculpture and painting, this course is for you.
Our eight weekly sessions are aimed at participants with little or no previous knowledge. From the ancient Greeks to the post-modern era, we use exemplary artwork to analyse major trends in Western art. The art objects are analysed and discussed within the context of important historical and social developments. Participants learn to identify buildings and visual art from e.g. the Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, Georgian, Classicist and Modernist styles on the basis of their typical features.
All of our courses are offered both as in-person adult-education classes in Hamilton, with live-streaming distance-learning options and the ability to watch the video recorded sessions at a time of your choosing to allow you to study at your own pace.
Our courses rotate regularly so there's always something new and interesting. New Māori and Aotearoa New Zealand History courses are coming in 2021 Term 1, so stay tuned!
For more information on our History classes, and our other Language, Religious Diversity, and World Mythology courses, please see our website.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Have you come across many roadworks sites recently?
The frustration of seeing a detour sign partway through your journey on the main highways possibly the new way forward when it comes to roadworks.
One of the latest areas to have a section of the road blocked off is State Highway 1 between Putāruru to Tokoroa as part of a massive renewal project that extends down to Waiouru.
