Synopsis
In this beautiful and transformative book, 24 M?ori academics share their personal journeys, revealing what being M?ori has meant for them in their work. Their perspectives provide insight for all New Zealanders into how m?tauranga is positively influencing the Western-dominated disciplines of knowledge in the research sector. It is a shameful fact, says co-editor Jacinta Ruru in her introduction to Nga Kete M?tauranga, that in 2020, only about 5 percent of academic staff at universities in Aotearoa New Zealand are M?ori. Tertiary institutions have for the most part been hostile places for Indigenous students and staff, and this book is an important call for action. ‘It is well past time that our country seriously commits to decolonising the tertiary workforce, curriculum and research agenda,’ writes Professor Ruru.Edited ByJacinta Ruru & Linda Waimare NikoaThis audiobook is narrated by the authors,Author List.Jacinta RuruMeihana DurieWendy LarnerMarama Muru-LanningTahu KukutaiShaun OgilvieShaun AwatereJoanna KidmanAlice Te Punga SomervilleJani WilsonNaomi SimmondsDan HikuroaNepia MahuikaMarami StephensChellia SpillerRangi MatamuaMorehu McDonaldSuzanne PitamaKrushil WateneOcean RipekaAnne - Marie JacksonMaria BarghJane KitsonSacha McMeekingLinda Waimarie NikoraLinda Tuhiwai Smith
