Conjoint: BA/BGlobalSt module in Māori, Pacific and Indigenous Knowledges

You will develop your understanding of the Māori, Pacific and Indigenous worlds from both historical and contemporary perspectives, exploring topics such as colonisation, identity and language.

You will be able to draw on worldviews from Aotearoa New Zealand and the Pacific in both your academic life and beyond the University.

Employers are increasingly looking for staff with strong cultural competency. Government agencies, the education and health sectors and NGOs especially seek employees with these perspectives. Your knowledge of these social, economic, political and cultural issues will boost your capability for engaging with diverse communities and values in a meaningful way.
