| Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga Public Seminar Series Commences | |
The first seminar in the series is by one of our researchers Dr Dan Hikuroa. Details below.
Seminar: Integrating Indigenous Knowledge with Science.
Presenter: Dr Dan Hikuroa
Institute of Earth Science and Engineering, The University of Auckland.
Date and time: Wednesday, 19th August, 3 – 4pm.
Location: Room 101, Rehutai Building, Māori Studies, 16 Wynyard St, Auckland.
Abstract: For many years indigenous or traditional Māori knowledge (mātauranga) has been considered incompatible with Western empirical based science, mainly because of the inclusion of holistic and spiritual components in the former. Increasingly the parallels between the two are being recognised and both scientists and holders of mātauranga are beginning to work with each other. The integration of mātauranga and Western science has to start with an acknowledgment that both are valid. In this presentation I will outline some of the key principles that we are using during the integration process using a case study.
Nau mai haere mai
All Welcome!
Light afternoon tea provided.
Note next seminar: 16th September by Dr Brett Graham. |

| Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga is pleased to announce the upcoming release of the Pae Tawhiti Grants RFP | |
Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga (NPM) is pleased to announce the upcoming release of the Request for Proposal (RFP) for its Pae Tawhiti (“Programme") Grants.
The RFP is expected to be released during the week beginning 10 August 2009.
Two Grants will run in parallel and the areas of study are:
1. Te Reo Māori, and
2. Māori Economic Development.
The Grants will commence in the middle of 2010.
The Pae Tawhiti Grants are different to our normal investigator driven project research grants and are additional to the usual funding processes of NPM. The use of the term Pae Tawhiti gives each grant a distinctive Māori positioning and expects the use of Māori methodologies and research approaches. The grants are each worth $500k per annum over three years and will contain at least two integrated yet discrete research projects.
An Investigator Briefing Meeting for the Te Reo Māori Grant will be held 3rd September 2009 and for the Māori Economic Development Grant on 17th October 2009. Both meetings will be in Auckland.
