About this research
Griffin Manawaroa Leonard (Te Arawa), University of Otago
The Radical Nonviolence in Aotearoa hui was the first hui of its kind in Aotearoa New Zealand. Nonviolent movements and the academic study of them is not new. Nor are such movements organised by Māori seeking to uphold their rights. What is inovative about the proposed research, however, is that it is based upon bringing together a varied group of New Zealanders and internationals to discuss these matters. Publishing the proposed works would be significant for two reasons.
- It would make the content of these discussions accessable to a wider audience.
- It would demonstrate how the creation of spaces to have these discussons is in itself a necessary step towards recognising our colonial history and honoring Te Tiriti.
