Articles and book chapters
“Troubling inheritances: an illegitimate, Maori daughter contests her father’s will in the New
Zealand courts and the Judicial Review Committee of the Privy Council.” To be submitted to the
Australia and New Zealand Law and History ejournal in May 2012.
Current research projects
Colonial legacies: Marriage, inheritance and the making of 19th century white settler
societies. This project examines debates and practices regarding marriage and inheritance in 19th
century settler societies within the British Empire. Focussing on the stories of specific families
whose inheritance battles received prominent attention in the courts and local newspapers, I
analyze public and political debates about marriage and inheritance law in the context of
migrations, colonialism and the empire. In this project, I read the records that exist of political
debates, of government initiated investigations and legal cases as well as drama, novels and other
cultural productions in the colonies that are now Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South
Africa to explore the place of marriage and inheritance in the making of white settler societies. I
received an SSHRC grant to explore the marriage side of this question in 2001-2004. I am hoping
to complete a monograph on this subject in 2012-13.
Jewish Businessmen and Methodist Missionaries and their descendants in New Zealand.
This is a transnational study of two families that settled in New Zealand during the 19th century
and have left fairly extensive records across the generations. One was that of a German Jew,
Bendix Hallenstein who provisioned miners during the Gold Rush, first in Victoria, Australia,
then in New Zealand and went on to become a minor politician and important businessman. The
other is that of a Methodist missionary, Samuel Fowler who was sent to the Pacific around the
same time. The manuscript will trace the history of these two men and their wives, then follows
11
subsequent generations of couples who are their descendants to weave a picture of the diverse
origins and histories that went into the making of New Zealand.
