I really enjoyed reading this article abt white scholars who represent themselves as something else. I think this is a conversation we dont often have in NZ academia - but this is something we need to think carefully abt as we extend calls for more Māori and Pacific academics
Those calls are important and I will make them until I take my last breath. However, we need to be realistic that some ppl respond in unethical ways to what they see as opportunities. What ethics or tikanga do we want to underpin the conversations abt this in Aotearoa?
How do we find ways to hold space for the range of experiences Indigenous ppl have had #becauseofcolonisation and yet also ensure that we are not naive about ppl who may represent themselves in certain ways to squeeze through the gaps made by aroha?
