Kia ora koutou! This podcast is part of series following the work of student researchers awarded Summer Research Scholarships from the University of Auckland. Hanna Lu is currently in the final stages of a Bachelor of Arts with a double major in history and politics. Her project looks at the perceptions, experiences and realities of Chinese immigrants in Auckland through the oral histories of the children of early Chinese settlers. Students have spent 12 weeks researching an aspect of Auckland’s history through the support of the Auckland History Initiative, under the co-supervision of Professor Linda Bryder and Dr. Jessica Parr.
