Spring Lyceum
The Quakes of Christchurch, Natural and Social
Dr. Elaine Hartwick, Associate Professor, Geography
Wednesday, April 10, 2013, 5 to 7 p.m.
McCarthy Center, Forum
After a seven year absence, returning to Christchurch,
New Zealand, was startling, a return to a devastated city.
An earthquake and subsequent aftershock in 2010/11
shook the city to its core, destroying life, iconic landmarks
and the Central Business District. Nationally New Zealand
changed as well, moving from a socially progressive
platform back to a conservative neo-Liberal government
policy regime. During my sabbatical leave in spring of
2012 I researched the connection between the natural
physical earthquake and the social, economic, political
and psychological quakes experienced by the people of
the Canterbury region. As a geographer I will share the
complex intersection between a natural hazard and
neo-liberal policy using Christchurch as the case study.
