Rangatiratanga: Narratives of Racism, Resistance, and Well-being

The Whakatika Research Project is a four-year project, undertaken by Independent Māori Research Institute, Te Atawhai o Te Ao, that investigates everyday experiences of racism faced by Māori. The research builds on over 40 years of existing work from Māori researchers who have examined the impacts of racism in health (Crengle et al., 2012; Harris et al., 2018), justice (Brittain & Tuffin, 2017; Jackson, 1987; Jackson, 2018), socio-economic areas (Department of Social Welfare, 1988), media (Nairn et al., 2006), business (Harris et al., 2018; Statistics New Zealand, 2012), housing (Houkamau & Sibley, 2015), psychology, and, as in this study, everyday experiences (Harris et al., 2006).
