The politics of ethnicity in education
This Research Area contains a number of my publications about the ways in which race politics of the post-1970s’s decades has influenced New Zealand government and society. Education is my main focus, particularly the way in which racial ideology has permeated the universities, teacher education, and schools. The research has involved fruitful collaborations with colleagues and postgraduate students. Some of the publications are listed below with links to as many as possible.
