Seminar
This discussion will attempt to identify the ways that we can collaborate and share our work as a community of indigenous scholars. What do we need to do to enable us to work together so that the benefits of this work can accrue to our communities? What creative ways can we envision that will take into account capacity issues but ensure that knowledge and experience can be shared in ways that align with indigenous practices? How can we enhance what we do in a way that resonates with our communities and progresses knowledge development in our institutions?
RSVP: t.mcintosh@auckland.ac.nz before Monday 19/3/2012 as the facility has limited seating.
