"Writing our own stories: Moving the discipline of Philosophy Forward" A/Prof Krushil Watene (University of Auckland - Waipapa Taumata Rau) This talk explores the role of pūrākau (stories and storytelling) for Māori Philosophy. Drawing from the stories of Indigenous women, I contend that pūrākau are repositories of accumulated knowledge that not only contain Māori Philosophy but enable its critical engagement and cultivation. Practices of storytelling are, then, vital to the creation and transformation of Māori concepts and ideas, and vital to understanding Māori practices of philosophical inquiry. In laying this out, I detail some of the ways that Māori and other Indigenous methods reimagine philosophy – not least in ways that include the needs and aspirations of the communities in which these philosophies are experienced and lived. 5-7pm Thursday 5th September Function Room 330, Michael Kirby Building, 17 Wally's Walk Macquarie University's Wallumattagal Campus, North Ryde Light refreshments from 5pm, followed by the lecture Register for the event via this link: https://forms.gle/fvyjgnJ7wdvL64Z27 All welcome!
