<p>We live and produce knowledge in an unjust world; what and how we research can be part of social change. In Aotearoa New Zealand, social issues are often represented in media and public life as intractable, naturalised or subject to the whims of political cycles. Critical qualitative research provides a way of gaining deep and targeted insight into social phenomena to explicate avenues for change. We might closely attend to discourse and formulate the matrices of power that undergird the messiness of public debate and vociferous opinions. We might closely attend to the contours of lived experience, bringing to light marginalised and invisiblised subjectivities, knowledges, and innovative approaches to thriving. We might work with communities to develop knowledges and strategies for change. Critical qualitative research approaches are numerous, but require careful consideration in their selection and implementation. This course introduces and interrogates key concepts and knowledge, equipping you for situated, reflexive qualitative research practice. <br>This graduate-level course (part of the offerings within the BA(Hons), BSc(Hons) and PGDip (Arts/Science) programme) is designed for those who are interested in exploring the possibilities for critical qualitative research and knowledge making for social change. With specific reference to our local context of Aotearoa New Zealand, we discuss topics relating to: researcher positionality and reflexivity; ethical considerations and relational ethics; decolonising methodologies in and, for psychology; critical theories (ways of thinking, knowing and being); approaches to data collection; approaches to data analyses; and social issues and scholar activism.<br></p>

<p>Tuākana is a multi-faceted programme for Māori and Pacific students providing topic specific tutorials, one-on-one sessions, test and exam preparation and more.

<p>This course is supported by the Tuākana in Science Programme, which facilitates the success and wellbeing of our Māori and Pacific students. The foundation of the Tuākana Programme is the Tuākana-Teina principle an integral relationship in which older or more expert Tuākana (traditionally brother, sister or cousin) guides a younger or less expert Teina (traditionally younger sibling or cousin). This is a reciprocal relationship which fosters safe learning and teaching environments.

<p><ul><li>This is primarily a discussion-based course, grounded in relational ethics. This means students will be asked to consider knowledge and learning as located, an embodied practice, and relational (part of the whole class). Students are expected to come to class prepared to participate (e.g. through having done the reading) in the learning discussions, grounded in mana-enhancing critical questioning and a spirit of care. Critical learning tasks align with this expectation.</li><li>Additionally, there are safeguards and requirements for learning about Indigenous knowledges and approaches - which are explained in the learning guidelines associated with this course, and will be available on Canvas. </li></ul></p>
New
<p>This course is a standard 15-point course and students are expected to spend 10 hours per week involved in each 15-point course that they are enrolled in.

In addition, class Representatives in each class can take feedback to the department and faculty staff-student consultative committees.</p>
