Drawing from stories of wahine maori (maori women) from her community of Ngati Manu, Krushil Watene set out to demonstrate the importance of wahine maori within our communities. In particular, referring to such things as, for instance: tribal creation narratives, kin-community practices, and leadership, she contend that the role of women is vital to our understanding of our histories and futures. Elevating the voices of women and other gender-diverse communities, Krushil Watene show how projects of regendering by indigenous communities are vital for the pursuit of local and global change.
Krushil Watene is Peter Kraus Associate Professor in Philosophy at the Univ. of Auckland Waipapa Taumata Rau in Aotearoa New Zealand. Her research addresses fundamental questions in ethics, politics, and Indigenous philosophy. In particular, her research engages at the intersections of diverse philosophical traditions, trans-disciplinarity, and the role of local communities for global change. She is a member of the Māori tribal communities of Ngāti Manu, Te Hikutu, Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, and the Pacific island of Tonga (Hunga, Vava’u).
