Using Mead’s “Five Tests” Precedent Approach for Genetic Control of Rats
Sir Hirini Moko Mead’s Five Tests framework helps identify a te ao Māori response to contemporary challenges. One such issue that Mead confronted, more than two decades ago, was genetic modification. We applied Mead’s precedent test to a genetic technology under development in Aotearoa New Zealand called single-sex offspring selection (SSOS). Single-sex offspring selection aims to control rat populations that harm native species either by produci…
Race and Sociocultural Inclusion in Science Communication: Innovation, Decolonisation, and Transformation
Imagining a Decolonized City in and From Aotearoa New Zealand
Imagining decolonized cities creates space to explore how urban places could strip away colonial dominance and restore the ability of Indigenous people to live, know and be. In this essay, we describe one attempt to create such space. While working in Porirua in Aotearoa New Zealand, we ran an urban design competition, hosted workshops with young people and held a symposium. Through all three phases we drew on utopian thinking to imagine beyond t…
Hōhā riha: Pest insect control in Māori tradition
Ongoing Māori connections to natural environments mean that tangata whenua ‘people of the land’ and mātauranga Māori ‘Māori knowledge’ must be key to identifying, designing and advancing national conservation strategies, including health of native species and making decisions about pest control. We revisit whakataukī ‘Māori proverbs’ and early ethnographic texts to explore how so-called pest insects were traditionally viewed by Māori. What specie…
An Academic Occupation: Mobilisation, Sit-In, Speaking Out and Confrontation in the Experiences of Māori Academics
Māori and other Indigenous scholars have been calling for the Indigenisation of academic space for decades. But what is the day-to-day experience of Māori academics within Aotearoa-New Zealand universities, and how does this experience reveal or enact the commitments to claim space? We interviewed 12 Māori academics and analysed and organised their experiences in the following way: the university can be understood as a site of (1) mobilisationof …
