Indigenous sexuality and colonial Ideologies webinar

Indigenous sexuality and colonial ideologies
6:00pm Thursday 21 March
Kaikōrero:

Ringa hāpai:
Dr George Parker
Based on our current understandings, it is reasonable to assume that sexual diversity has been a feature of human society since the beginning of time. Despite government sanctioned efforts to regulate, control and monitor sexual behaviour, expressions of sexuality, desire and behaviour continue to be major contributors to indigenous health and wellbeing. For indigenous peoples living in colonised societies, these regulations have sought to render invisible and perverse that which has been part of the rich tapestry of indigenous sexuality and identity for thousands of years. In this talk, I will discuss how we can harness the rich reserves of contemporary and historical understandings of indigenous sexuality to enhance health and wellbeing of Māori and other indigenous peoples.
Out of respect for our kaikōrero and ringa hāpai, we have not translated karakia, pepeha from Te Reo Māori to English.
