Study Notes
Struggle and Consciousness
- Paulo Freire emphasizes the relationship between conscientization (awareness of social injustices) and action against injustice.
- Graham Smith's research highlights that M āori engagement in struggles often arises from solidarity rather than prior awareness of oppression or colonial history.
- M āori activism often reflects collective agency rather than purely individual consciousness.
Role of Leadership and Collective Consent
- Political leaders in movements require consent from the community to sustain action over time.
- Activist leadership and collective consent create a dynamic tension within struggles for change.
Intellectual Hegemony and Knowledge
- Revolutionary literature critiques the power of intellectuals who can influence what is deemed legitimate knowledge within the establishment.
- The struggle acts as a theoretical frame to understand agency, social change, and the interaction between academia and activism.
Kaupapa Māori as a Space of Resistance
- Kaupapa Māori emerges from M āori educational practices, asserting M āori presence in theoretical spaces, especially in research.
- The concept advocates that M āori should reclaim research to address their own questions, rather than being subject to Western paradigms.
Indigenous Research Context
- M āori possess their own methodologies and knowledge systems that should be recognized and valued rather than dominated by Western approaches.
- Research is fundamentally a human activity driven by curiosity, not limited to institutional definitions.
Importance of Hope and Imagination
- Historical narratives often overlook the significance of hope, optimism, and aspirations for a better future in education and social agency.
- M āori politics is characterized by a culture of noisy optimism and continuous imaginative engagement.
Dehumanization and the Role of Imagination
- Colonial practices aimed to dehumanize indigenous peoples, denying their agency and intellectual contributions.
- Imagination is essential for M āori to connect fragmented experiences and envisage transformative futures beyond material realities.
Margins as Sites of Identity and Culture
- The margins are seen not only as sites of struggle but also as spaces for belonging and rich cultural identities, as discussed by writers like bell hooks and Gloria Anzaldua.
- Many marginalized communities actively choose to inhabit these margins, fostering unique cultures and identities.
Research and Social Justice
- Researchers engaged in social justice typically focus on marginalized communities, revealing society's complexities and inequalities.
- Commitment to social justice may also characterize "insider" research, reflecting the experiences of those within marginalized groups.
Ethical Research Practices
- Various ethical guidelines exist to protect human subjects in research, including the Nuremberg Code and the Helsinki Declaration.
- In New Zealand, ethical research policies include consultation with M āori communities to address historical injustices and ensure cultural safety.
Recognition of M āori as Peoples
- The distinction between M āori as a marginalized population versus M āori as distinct peoples is crucial for claims of self-determination.
- Acknowledgment of M āori rights under the Treaty of Waitangi is essential for safeguarding their identity and equal citizenship.
Global Context of Research Conduct
- Research norms are influenced by a global network of researchers, requiring respect for diverse practices and the rights of Indigenous peoples.
