Postgraduate supervision
Wai-te-ata Press provides supervision for students studying towards their postgraduate degrees.
Each year Wai-te-ata Press supervises Honours, MA, and PhD students working towards completing their postgraduate degrees. Whether you are based in History, New Zealand Studies, Literary Translation, Education, Design, Information Management, or any other field, our interdisciplinary focus enables you to extend the reach and relevance of your degree. Speciality areas include the interdisciplinary study of transnational and cross-cultural book history and print culture, in the contexts of the history of empire, history of technology, and the history of reading. Of particular note are a focus on nineteenth century New Zealand history, digital materiality, spatial history, and digital humanities.
