Krushil Watene (University of Auckland, New Zealand)

Indigenous philosophies are germane to advancing sustainable and equitable social, economic, environmental, and cultural development, worldwide. Watene discusses Indigenous contributions to how sustainable development is conceptualized, designed, and implemented at both local and global levels. In addition, Watene focuses on how insights from Māori tribal communities are transforming how sustainable development should be understood and pursued.

This event is part of Krushil Watene's mini-residency as 2023 Jeannette K. Watson Distinguished Visiting Professor in the Humanities.
