Matauranga Wahine: Teaching Maori Women's Knowledge Alongside Feminism

There are always at least two stories that emerge when students on a course are split into separate ethnic groups. This is the story of the Maori women academics who taught and tutored Maori, Pacific Islands and Asian women in a university course exploring feminism and matauranga wahine (women's knowledge) (see Jones, this issue). They tell of their own experiences and also what they saw happening to students who were facilitated in exploring their own cultural stories before encountering white feminism. They also talk of their experience of teaching non-Maori students.
