Abstract
Professor Alison Jones, School of Te Puna Wananga, The University of Auckland, Faculty of Education
Ka whawhai tonu mätou:The interminable problem of knowing others
Professor Alison Jones addresses what she sees as the most complex and interesting problem in Education in New Zealand: the impossibilities embedded in the educational relationship between Maori and Pakeha. With reference to some events in the history of this relationship - a mock fight and the first sermon - she argues that interminability and uncertainty are to be embraced rather than avoided.
