Student assessment showcase

Wellington Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences students exhibit their work from assessment projects. These include videos, poems, translations, film compositions, and more.

Please note that some of the projects may contain mature content.


Our in-person exhibition included an Asia-Pacific-based matrix wargame developed by students in Strategic Studies 535: Designing Strategy – Wargaming and Analytic Tradecraft and a performance from New Zealand School of Music—Te Kōkī jazz students.

Māori Studies

Students use ‘mapping’ to expand and deepen their current knowledge about indigenous peoples around the world and their connections to local places.

Philosophy

Students contribute art galleries and critical reflections on contemporary philosophical controversies and questions raised by art and culture.

English, Film, and Communication

From creative pieces of writing and film to video essays and analysis, our students are asked to present their learning in a variety of ways.

Composition

Students apply their composition skills in a variety of different needs from original music compositions, to sound-based works and film scoring.

Political Science

Politics students demonstrate their learning in essays and 'un-essays' exploring NZ politics and topics from contemporary music to feminism.

Anthropology and Sociology

Youth protest, vampires, and cross-continental discussions: ANTH and SOSC students present their analysis of people, society, and pop culture.

Students of CLAS, GREE, and LATI share their work looking at translation, cemetery data, and literary works.

Strategic Studies

For STRA535: Designing Strategy—Wargaming and Analytic Tradecraft, students worked in groups to produce a playable wargame.

Art History

Virtual exhibition—a speculative and exploratory exhibition project. Students imagined an exhibition that engages with the topic of art and environment.

History

Students research an aspect of Cold War history through an analysis of historiography and documents and other sources, and then present in their chosen way.
