Freeing Ourselves: An Indigenous Response to Neocolonial Domination in Research, Classrooms, and Education Systems

• In Event: Roundtable Session 7
  In Roundtable Session: Marginalized Voices

Abstract

This presentation looks at three examples of how an indigenous people have freed themselves from neo-colonial oppression in a way that also suggests how other minoritised peoples can similarly liberate themselves. The presentation also highlights how such an approach has redirected the actions of the oppressors to discursively reposition themselves through an ongoing process of conscientisation in relation to the representations of Maori as a minoritised group.
