Empowering Voices, Transforming Communities
For Māori academics as a minority group within universities in Aotearoa/New Zealand, the constant struggle to ‘indigenise the academy’ and be agents of change, often becomes overwhelming.

Te Kauae Maro o Muri-ranga-whenua (The Jawbone of Muri-ranga-whenua)

A description of why a M?ori/P?keh? (a non-M?ori person of Europ…
