10232 112 Street Northwest Edmonton, AB T5K 1M4 CanadaJack is a third year PhD student in Geography at Waipapa Taumata Rau, The University of Auckland in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Supervised by Larry Murphy and Tom Baker, his research aims to understand how Māori, the Indigenous peoples of Aotearoa New Zealand, might enact housing aspirations and the challenges they face in doing so. Through an ethnography and participant observation with a Māori-led housing enterprise, his research aims to illuminate the on-the-ground experiences of Māori housing provision and situate them within their wider institutional environment. Through this, Jack will discuss preliminary findings from his PhD covering themes such as Indigenous self-determination, financialisation and the creation of a diverse, Indigenous-led housing economy.
Jack is excited to share his research with a Canadian audience, and we would love it if you could attend!
The presentation will be in-person but a Zoom-in option can be arranged as well. The talk will be approximately 1 hour long with half an hour allotted for discussion afterward.
We will be going for an informal dinner and/or drinks after the presentation; all are welcome to join!
