Jacinta Ruru (Raukawa, Ngati Ranginui) is a professor of law at the
University of Otago and co-director of Nga Pae o te Maramatanga,
New Zealand's Maori Centre of Research Excellence. Her extensive
research considers Indigenous people's rights, interests and
responsibilities to own and care for lands and waters. She seeks to
disrupt colonial legal norms and inspire a more just legal system.
She has multidisciplinary research collaborations around the world,
including as co-author of Discovering Indigenous Lands: The
doctrine of discovery in the English colonies (Oxford University
Press, 2010). She has won awards for teaching, research and
graduate supervision.
Linda Waimarie Nikora (Tuhoe, Te Aitanga-a-Hauiti) is a professor
of Indigenous studies at the University of Auckland and co-director
of Nga Pae o te Maramatanga, New Zealand's Maori Centre of Research
Excellence. Her specialty interest is in the development of
Indigenous psychologies to serve the interests and aspirations of
Maori and Indigenous peoples. She has been involved in research
about Maori flourishing; tangi and Maori ways of mourning;
traditional body modification; ethnic status as a stressor; Maori
identity development; cultural safety and competence; Maori mental
health and recovery; social and economic determinants of health;
homelessness; relational health and social connectedness.
The book demonstrates the power, energy and diversity that can be brought out into the world by Maori scholars working both comfortably and uncomfortably from within, without and across diverse academic disciplines and matauranga Maori. - Professor Linda Tuhiwai Smith
