Dissent and the First World War, Conference, Wellington, 31 August–2 September 2017 Conference Report

Abstract

Since 2014, there has been a continual stream of official commemorations of the Great War’s centennial. The “Dissent and the First World War” conference, held in Wellington over 31 August to 2 September, demonstrated the importance of commemorating the counter-narratives of wartime dissent, offering a wide-ranging coverage of that dissent’s many faces. The conference was organised by the Stout Centre and the Labour History Project, with assistance from ARANZ (the Archives and Records Association of New Zealand) and the Ministry for Culture and Heritage.
