Tiffany’s Reviews > Nga Kete Matauranga: Maori Scholars at the Research Interface > Status Update

6. Lonely in academia. Limits opportunities for educated and nuanced conversations and effects workload. Intentionally create tenured academic positions for Māori centred researchers

7. We can reimagine our disciplines.

8. We are excited about the next generation.

4. Noticing Māori absence. In lecturers, curriculum, authored works and more.

5. The disciplines are not very welcoming. Finding a home not within own disciplines but within Māori studies. All disciplines need to transform to be responsive to Māori as students and faculty.

1. Mātauranga can transform contemporary realities. Retain and maintain intellectual and philosophical and traditional knowledge systems. Knowledge and expertise can sit outside of the University systems.

2. Our whanau matter. Wisdom of our elders (ancestors and grandparents) and mātauranga exists wherever whanau exist.

3. Present day echos of a colonial past. Racial inequities. Reclaiming central conversations.

Titi harvest

Leadership approach and strengths. Mātauranga Māori at the interface in business. Servicing something bigger than themselves.

1. Maori ora - creating wellbeing
2. Whanaungatanga - A family-based approach to work
3. Tangata Whakapapa - Embracing the wholeness of people
4. Hūmārie - Practicing humility
5. Tuākana-Teina - Creating effective succession through mentoring

Māori law - a dictionary of Māori legal terms. Learning tikanga Māori as a kid growing up.

Historical mātauranga enables a culturally grounded understanding of what it means to belong here based in local iwi narratives.

The truth of NZ history is first and foremost a story of Māori and iwi experiences and can only get to that when we allow our historical mātauranga to thrive.

Geology

Decolonisation in the geography discipline. Ancestral geography.

Māori film studies and incorporation of mātauranga Māori and research and teach film history.
