On the 31st August, an NPM panel of esteemed Māori researchers met in a live video webinar session to investigate, expose and discuss the ethics of rationing health in a racialised society.
Professor Papaarangi Reid facilitated a discussion between Professor Linda Tuhiwai Smith, Associate Professor Krushil Wātene and Dr Donna Cormack, where they explored the topic of Rationing Māori Life and Well-Being - Who Decides and How?
Following the rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic internationally, there have been dramatic images of overwhelmed health services. And so all tools being developed in NZ must have as starting points a commitment to be Te Tiriti o Waitangi aligned, pro-equity and anti-racist.
This highly successful webinar was supported by Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga and Te Rōpū Whakakaupapa Urūta and during the 90 minute discussion attracted an online audience of more than 300 attendees.
The video of this webinar is now available online for viewing here
