Kaupapa Maori Research, Collaboration and Transformation

 

This presentation is a discussion on the place of Kaupapa Māori Research as collaborative and transformative praxis within a Kaupapa Māori Social Justice organisation, Tu Tama Wahine o Taranaki.

 

Tu Tama Wahine o Taranaki is a Kaupapa Māori common good organisation with over 30 years of experience in delivering health and social services successfully across the Taranaki region.  The origins of the organisation, however, date back to 1881 and the plunder of Parihaka where clear instructions were given to the remaining women to continue on with the work of their tūpuna and take on the roles and responsibilities of the whānau in upholding tikanga Māori and maintaining the care and well-being of whānau. “E tu tama wahine i te waa o te kore.” — Te Whiti o Rongomai (1881).

 

Over the past 10 years Tū Tama Wāhine has worked in collaboration with leading Kaupapa Māori theorists and researchers to inform the work undertaken to support Māori whānau and communities. This presentation discussion will explore the importance of Kaupapa Māori research as collaboration and co-production.
