About this Event
The MDHS Indigenous Development Portfolio is pleased to host this special lecture, with Professor Mike McGuckin, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences.
We are delighted to welcome Professor Waikaremoana Waitoki to explore the role of anti-racism, truth-telling and Indigenous knowledge in transforming psychology. Her talk will consider how anti-racism can disrupt the monocultural foundations of psychology and support the reclamation of Indigenous knowledge, drawing on the work of Dr Moana Jackson and his powerful concept of an Ethics of Restoration.

In her dreaming about the world, she imagines a place where Indigenous knowledge is powerfully disruptive and powerfully restorative.
