Maori Homes and Communities - Ep 45

On today’s episode Jessica hosts Jacqueline Paul (Ngapuhi, Ngati Tuwharetoa, and Ngati Kahungunu ki Heretaunga), Māori Landscape Architect, Lecturer at the School of Architecture and Researcher at Ngā Wai a Te Tūi Māori and Indigenous Research Centre at Unitec. We talk about representation and including diverse perspectives into your work (and not forgetting to include young people!). We also talk about the Maori concept of home and how Maori and Western perspectives are coming together. Also, how to advocate for change, including homelessness and it’s disparate effects. Finally, this episode was recorded in early April 2020, so naturally we were talking about COVID-19. We talked about culture and home, as well as how privilege affects your experience and structural violence within a pandemic.
