in the second half of the 20th century and his centrality in it. In this talk, Professor Bronwen Douglas discusses three episodes of encounter between European voyagers and Indigenous Oceanians which show the enduring significance to her historical practice
of what Greg Dening called ethnohistory or ethnographic history. An ethnohistorical method illuminates the co-formulation of ‘anthropological’ knowledge in the fertile tension between European discourses on human difference or race, travellers’ experience
in Oceania, and local agency. </i></span></div>
