What this paper is about

Edit What this paper is about Content
Kaupapa Māori psychology is sensitive to context, conscious of history and responsive to multiple ways of knowing and being in the world. This paper will cover topics relevant to students who wish to work and research as psychologists in applied settings. Working responsibly with Maori and other Indigenous peoples will be a central focus in this course. Topics covered include: understanding Kaupapa Māori (for Māori, Pākehā, and Tauiwi), colonisation, decolonisation, and applying Kaupapa Māori in practice. Rōpū discussions and flipped teaching are the foundations of this course.

How this paper will be taught

Edit How this paper will be taught Content

This class includes a flipped classroom style for the majority of teaching. Students will be expected to do assigned readings prior to attending the weekly classes. The first two hours will cover a variety of rōpū-based work discussing key aspects of the readings and their applications in psychology. The final hour of the class will include a lecture that contextualises the reading for the psychology context. Student contributions are an important part of the pedagogy of the course, where participation develops critical thinking about Kaupapa Māori and Psychology. Coursework builds on this critical thinking, where rōpū will present their insights to the class, and students will have a final assignment that synthesises their learning.
