The Judith Binney Fellowships and Writing Awards honour the contribution made by the late Dame Judith Binney / Te Tōmairangi o Te Aroha to our understanding of New Zealand’s rich history and will support research and writing that expands our understanding of the history of these islands.
The inaugural 2019 recipient of the Judith Binney Fellowship was Dr Nēpia Mahuika (Ngāti Porou), Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Waikato. Three Judith Binney Writing Awards went to: Ryan Bodman, Morgan Godfery and Dr Melissa Matutina Williams (Te Rarawa, Ngāti Maru).
