Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga and GNS Science are delighted to present “Rūaumoko What Lies Beneath” a premier information sharing and networking platform for the amalgamation of Māori Knowledge, western sciences and research. Admission is free.
Māori researchers have created exciting ways to approach and carry out research over the past 25 years. Early new research methods were underpinned by Māori cosmology and mātauranga, and these approaches are still in use today.
Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga is holding a national colloquium on April 5th 2012 to discuss Māori and social issues research and policy needs and priorities, and the contribution research may make to address these issues. Speakers include Hon. Dr Pita Sharples, Dr Tracey McIntosh and leading researchers on Māori social issues.
In 2009 Whakauae Research for Māori Health and Development (WRMHD) in association with Te Oranganui Iwi Health Authority and the Health Services Research Centre (HSRC) began a two year project.
The many works of esteemed Māori scholar, the late Dr Pei te Hurunui Jones, have provided the catalyst for this research into the management, conservation, care and display of mātauranga Māori in a digital context.
A critical challenge facing Māori development is the challenge and opportunity of distinctiveness. What in particular can the Māori world bring to enhance New Zealand generally?
