Lecturer, Aotahi School of Māori and Indigenous Studies, University of Canterbury
My areas of teaching include the history and contemporary context of Te Tiriti, Māori and Indigenous development, and political issues facing Māori. I also teach into the Bachelor of Criminal Justice, including a paper that focusses on Māori over-representation in the criminal justice system.
I am currently primarily engaged in research towards a PhD in Māori and Indigenous Studies with a philosophical focus. My research expertise includes Māori metaphysics, and Mana Wahine theoretical and methodological approaches.
I work with Ara Poutama to develop and deliver kaupapa Māori/Mana Wahine programmes in the Huritini Unit at Christchurch Women’s Prison. I am also engaged in interviewing for, and preparation of s27 cultural reports for the courts.
