Lie within the field of Māori and Indigenous literatures; my PhD thesis is a study and celebration of Māori writing in English wherein I use various invocations of whakapapa and draw upon pūrākau to read a range of contemporary texts. Inspired by Kaupapa Māori researchers, Indigenous literary scholars, and decolonizing research methodologies, I situate these texts in an expansive whakapapa of creative production; I therefore have related research interests in Māori and Indigenous media, Māori and Indigenous art and curation, taonga tuku iho and museum studies, and Māori and Indigenous research methodologies more generally.
