Research Interests
My current research interest is based in my Marsden-funded research programme provisionally-entitled 'Aitanga: Maori Desire for Schooling'. This programme is in conjunction with Professor Kuni Jenkins from Te Whare Wananga o Awanuiarangi, in Whakatane, Bay of Plenty. The project focuses on the possibilities in the educational relationship between Maori and Pakeha, particularly as they were originally set up in the early nineteenth century. The work gives attention to possible Maori views of and responses to the relationship.
