3rd Critiquing Pasifika Education Conference @ the University 2011
July 3, 4, 5, 2011
Te Kura Mātauranga, School of Education, AUT University, Manukau Campus, Manukau City, South Auckland
Theme: MATA PASIFIKA: INDIGENOUS AND MIGRANT EDUCATION (IME)
Sub-theme: AKO, ‘ILO, & POTO; PRINCIPLES AND INNOVATION OF WHAT MAKES A GOOD TEACHER OF INDIGENOUS AND MIGRANT STUDENTS
“One of the most important things wrong with the relationship is that the educational process is an effective instrument for separating the people from the satisfaction of their own culture and equally, from the satisfaction of the prevailing culture” (Beaglehole, E. & Beaglehole, P. 1941. Pangai. Village in Tonga (p.49). The Polynesian Society. Wellington).
The under-developed nature of Indigenous and Migrant Education (IME) requires a partnership between the university, indigenous, and migrant communities. This cultural interface will enable social scientists, postgraduate students, and practitioners to critically dialogue about issues and ideas central to understanding the significance of indigenous and migrant teachers in educating indigenous and migrant children. The 3rd Critiquing Pasifika Education @ the University will establish understandings of this cultural interface in Aotearoa, New Zealand and contribute to advancing knowledge, decision making, and policy advice on indigenous and migrant peoples’ beliefs about teaching indigenous and migrant students. The CCC plans to publish selected papers, to make the knowledge and experience brought together by the conference more widely available to academics and practitioners involved in educating and training Indigenous and Migrant peoples.
Keynote Speakers:
- Professor Richard Bedford, Pro VC (Research) Specialist in Immigration Research, AUT University. Member of Marsden Fund Council.
- Dr Camille Nakhid, Specialist in Sociology of Education, Social Construction of Identity, Research Methodologies. Senior Lecturer, AUT University
