The experiences of Māori and Pacific postgraduate students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering Mathematics) offer insights into how universities, particularly science faculties, currently underserve people. This article shares the 43 current or past at New Zealand universities. Collectively, our stories insight representation, white imprint, space invaders/stranger making, institutional habits, specifically operate to exclude devalue postgraduates STEM. We provide new understandings...
Abstract Leptospermum scoparium J. R. Forst et G. Forst, known as mānuka by Māori, the indigenous people of Aotearoa (New Zealand), is a culturally and economically significant shrub species, native to New Zealand Australia. Chemical, morphological phylogenetic studies have indicated geographical variation across its range in Zealand, genetic differentiation between We used pooled whole genome re-sequencing 76 L. outgroup populations from Australia compile dataset totalling ~2.5 million...
Linnaean names are an anchor for biological information about a species, and having clear, unique, taxonomic is vital scientific communication.Accordingly, there specific rules guidelines enshrined in codes that govern nomenclature description.The process of creating Linnean species can however provide multiple functions beyond identification, including the incorporation cultural knowledge, vernacular place as epithets.Increasingly this usage helps engage empower Indigenous cultures work...
Explanatory note The following text is described in the Ngāti Rangi mita (dialect), although concepts may be similar e.g. Mouri = Mauri, spelling reflects tribal vernacular. Context National biodiversity monitoring Aotearoa, New Zealand primarily conducted within Eurocentric conservation frameworks. At present, Māori (Indigenous Peoples of Aotearoa) have limited interaction and role these programs. Aims We explored a biocultural tool based on mātauranga (Māori knowledge) to inform (a central...
Youth of this era are more disconnected from the natural world than their predecessors.Global populations live increasingly in urban landscapes, which creates an 'extinction experience' when interacting with nature.In 2018, we facilitated 8 workshops students aged 13 to 17 two Maori immersion schools (Wharekura) explore application and implementation a cultural monitoring framework.Although initial demonstrated it was possible apply method across ecosystems, absence basic ecological literacy...
Indigenous Māori youth struggle to connect with science delivered in a Eurocentric model of education Aotearoa, New Zealand. In transforming conservation biology through perspectives, we asked whether knowledge-based resources and traditional schooling (wānanga) methodologies increased the connection (rangatahi) science. We collaborated environmental body run culturally based program (noho taiao) attended by 70 from three Māori-centric schools. undertook surveys assess baseline scientific...
