Māori researchers have created exciting ways to approach and carry out research over the past 25 years. Early new research methods were underpinned by Māori cosmology and mātauranga, and these approaches are still in use today. However, Māori researchers continue to redefine methodological spaces, and the overarching concept of mātauranga Māori is often supported by methods specific to hapū knowledge. Within this framework, researchers have developed approaches to work appropriately and engage effectively with Māori communities. These methodologies are underpinned by ethics and procedures that ensure participants are well informed and supported throughout the process, until after the research is completed. These are Māori research methodologies by Māori, for Māori.

Drs. Deondre & Max’s book club on Indigenous methodologies We’ve been engaging in a reading experiment called #Collabrary (Collaborative Library) where we aim to read research texts with generosity, humility, and accountability. Mostly we’ve been posting our reading on Twitter, but now we’ll be talking to one another about reading…
How can we frame suicide research and prevention differently? This panel brings together suicide experts and advocates to discuss the sociocultural, political, and environmental dimensions of suicide. The speakers will share key learnings from research and advocacy and reflect on how we can draw from Indigenous knowledge and scholarship to…
