In this week's episode, Michaela Selway and Louise Ryan discuss the benefits of learning history through film and what it can teach us. These visual texts can be used to not only uncover information about the period it discusses but also the time in which it was created and the worldview of the director. While generally full of historical inaccuracies, teaching and learning about history through film can be extremely beneficial to the ways in which we understand the past and the present.

This week on the pocast, Michaela and Alex discuss the role of queens through the Middle Ages - both what they were supposed to do as well as what was expected of them. They draw connections between the Middle Ages and the present to show that, while the relevance of the royals may not be as important to the running of society as it was in the Middle Ages, they still play a very important role. www.tahuhukorero.com Music by Makeshift Locale

Episode Four features Associate Professor Jennifer Frost, a women's historian, Katie Cammell, and Louise Ryan from the University of Auckland discussing what it means to celebrate International Women's Day (IWD). This day was set with certain, quite progressive, ideals for its time, aiming for equality and peace for all women. Over time this has progressed to equality and peace for all, irrespective of gender, race, and social standing. Despite these founding ideals, many controversies have arisen over the commercialisation of feminism, and the "colonial mindset" that is still prevalent in today's society. Discussions also took place around whether IWD is worthwhile considering that many people only think about these ideals on one day a year rather than every day of the year.
