Collectivising Te Reo me Ngā Tikanga Rangahau Māori

Project commenced: 2018

How do we collectivise what we have for greater gain? How can we best create sustainable new te reo me ngā tikanga narrative led research to refresh, renew and recover te reo me ngā tikanga knowledge narratives and scholarships and support reo speaking communities and scholars and what national and institutional strategies are required to truly enable te reo me ngā tikanga-led research?

This platform project is focused on collectivising te reo me ngā tikanga Māori researchers to support inspirational te reo writers for intergenerational empowerment, greater revitalisation, normalisation and practice within our research settings.

The project is building a repository of te reo me ngā tikanga-led research and enable greater sharing, publication and overall outputs of te reo me ngā tikanga research, providing formal bodies of knowledge and greater written te reo Māori outputs.
