About this research
Georgia McLellan (Te Whakatōhea & Ngāi Te Rangi), The University of Auckland
Through my PhD research, I intend to explore the assemblage of Māori kuku economies over time. I will explore how Māori kuku economies have been socially constructed, assembled, the depths of these networks, the knowledge bases underlying them and how different Māori groups are enrolling themselves into these economies. I will explore the different roles that Māori stakeholders play within these economies and how relationships within these economies are played out. The main research aim I will be addressing is: To explore the assemblage of Māori kuku economies over time. This aim will be reached by addressing four main objectives:
To map the varied actors, institutions, sites, networks, practice and conditions that have made up Māori kuku economies over time
- To explore how Māori kuku economies have changed over time.
- To examine the role Māori have played in kuku economies over time.
To examine how Māori have derived value from and added value to Māori kuku economies over time.
