Overview
Māori / Indigenous development focused on an indigenous knowledge framework that emphasises indigenous development planning, strategies and practices. A three-day Iwi / Community development practicum is a compulsory part of the paper.
This paper engages with ideas of Indigenous development, governance and ethics through learning about how cultural, social, environmental and economic variables work towards effecting intergenerational development for Indigenous peoples. In this course, students will build skills in identifying problems and finding solutions for Indigenous governance and ethics through discussions of key case studies from the Māori, Pacific and wider Indigenous worlds. Student assessment will focus on a research case study and/or topic of the student's choosing at the beginning of the course. Students will then formulate clear research questions explore indigenous scholarship, and engage in discussion with their peers in order to examine issues of development, governance and ethics in their chosen case study. This will culminate in a final research essay.
