Whakataukī of the Week with Jacinta Ruru

From Nights, 9:25 pm on 7 April 2025

Every Monday on Nights, we invite a guest to share a whakataukī-a Māori proverb that's meaningful to them.

Tonight, we're chatting to Professor Jacinta Ruru (Raukawa, Ngāti Ranginui).

Jacinta is the Deputy Vice-Chancellor Māori and a Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of Otago.

She is also a member of both the New Zealand Order of Merit and a senior Māori scholar for Fulbright Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga - New Zealand's Māori Centre of Research Excellence.
