Matthew Scobie

In an enlightening discussion, Matthew Scobie, a Māori political economy researcher, and Anna Sturman, a political economist and geographer, dive into the economic possibilities of decolonisation. They explore how pre-colonial Māori economies can reshape Aotearoa's political landscape. The duo discusses the impact of land dispossession, ongoing Māori economic practices, and the importance of mutual aid. They also present concrete legal and policy recommendations to honor the Treaty and advocate for a transformative future rooted in indigenous perspectives.
