In this book, ten Maori professors address these and other key questions, and explain how they
balance their roles as academics with their obligations to whanau, iwi, communities, Aotearoa and the world. Edited by Selwyn Katene. With a foreword by Sir Tipene ORegan. Featured in the 28 September 2015 New Zealand Newsletter.
Maori scholarship focuses on participation and accomplishment in the Maori world and being responsible global citizens. Scholars also have to be excellent teachers, researchers and administrators. They are role models, mentoring and supporting other Maori staff and students.
Advances in Maori academic achievement owe much to these men and women and others like them. They are torchbearers, visionaries, creating a legacy from which we can all draw inspiration and strength.
