PSYCH575

Students develop a critical understanding of Kaupapa Māori psychology, and how it is sensitive to context, conscious of history and responsive to multiple ways of knowing and being in the world. This paper will cover topics relevant to students who wish to work and research as psychologists in applied settings. Topics covered include: understanding Kaupapa Māori (for Māori, Pākehā, and Tauiwi), colonisation, decolonisation, and applying Kaupapa Māori in practice. Group discussions and collaborative pedagogy are the foundations of this course.
