A conversation on the philosophy and practice of teaching research in Māori and Pacific education

Describes a course on research in Māori and Pacific education, 'Research as Praxis : Māori and Pacific Nations Education', based on Māori and Pacific philosophies and taught to education masters' students at Victoria University of Wellington. Argues that such courses must be concerned to address the philosophical bases of research at least as rigorously as the methods used to investigate matters of enquiry. Claims that Māori and Pacific peoples are demanding the sort of research that helps them to survive, to contribute, and 'to be' in the world as Māori and Pacific peoples.
