 Kenton Storey
In times of trouble: Considering racial
discourses and settler anxiety in colonial New Zealand
and British Columbia.
While completing an MA in Commonwealth Indigenous
history, Kenton Storey was struck by the parallels
between New Zealand's and British Columbia's colonial
development. During the late 1850s and early 1860s
both colonies experienced crises related to their
respective settler populations' interactions with
local Indigenous peoples. Kenton's research
specifically pursues the repercussions of colonial
violence on changing racial discourses within New
Zealand and British Columbia, focusing particularly on
how these colonies' membership within the wider
British Empire and inter-connections with each other
affected settlers' relations with Indigenous peoples.
Kenton looks forward to returning to Canada in April
2009 to spend a month and a half doing archival
research in Victoria, British Columbia and presenting
his research at the Canadian Historical Association's
conference in Ottawa in May.
