Assoc Prof Te Rina Warren

Associate Professor Te Rina Warren lectures education in both the English and Māori language.  She is actively engaged in iwi and marae activities, along with Kura Kaupapa Māori education.  Previously working in areas of rangatahi health and iwi development, her research aims to address the challenges faced by iwi, marae and Māori education.  The evolution of tikanga Māori and contemporary application is a key theme of her research, where decolonisation and decoloniality are viewed as a means to provide a ‘counter-narrative’ to common myths.  Te Rina completed her PhD investigating the impact of the internet on tikanga Māori.
