The politics of engagement: An indigenous perspective

Traversing western and indigenous organizational forms poses complex 
communicative challenges for those charged with public engagement. In this 
paper I will theorise the interplay of power and knowledge embedded in the 
indigenous engagement efforts of New Zealand science organizations and map the 
discursive roles of Maori scientists who act as organizational emissaries and 
cultural intermediaries drawing upon a Foucauldian framework.

Judy Motion is Professor of Communication in the School of English, Media and 
Performing Arts and an Associate of the Journalism and Media Research Centre. 
Professor Motion’s research areas include public relations, promotional 
communication and discourse, public policy and social innovation. She has 
co-lead a Foundation for Research, Science and Technology funded research 
program to investigate socially and culturally sustainable biotechnology in New 
Zealand and is currently a member of a New Zealand based research program 
investigating sustainable productivity in small to medium businesses.
