I think if we're going to create this
space just outside the comfort zone
where people are really thinking critically
about the information they've received
and try to understand it,
an easy tool to use is this
concept of fun.
My first provocation then is about
critical thinking.
The content that I was busy providing
was becoming diluted and threatened.
So these questioning skills are becoming
more and more urgent because not only is it
that they haven't learnt the content, but they
might pull up the wrong content.
And so that curation function
I think is getting super important.
So we want to teach them not only to
challenge received wisdom
but to understand how solid that
received wisdom is.
So that's an extra level
and I would love your help with that.
When I took this job on, all the journalists said
"so, you're a woman" and I'm like
"I am, good spotting" [audience laughter]
I find it quite startling that it's
still startling that I'm a woman.
But it is apparently, people made a big fuss
about that. Inclusive practices
is something I thought about a lot.
If you Google 'professor' and hit 'images'
you get lots of people like him.
And I've been surrounded by people like that
my whole career and they inspire me
and support me often,
but they don't give me a pathway
forward that looks like me.
It's hard to find role models that are female
and proud mothers.
I could tell you long stories about that
but there aren't many.
I do have huge empathy with
parts of the population that aren't represented.
Because I've gone through that journey and
my call to senior women in science is
to synthesise some of that
learning, that knowledge,
that 'burning feel' when you've been
discriminated before just because you
'look wrong' and channel that in
to helping other cohorts of
students that are underrepresented.
So the Māori and Pasifika numbers
in STEM are frighteningly small.
Two per cent
against the population of something
like twenty-five per cent.
And so I would really like your help
to work out how to shine
a light on that and start to do some
work that presents evidence that if
you change the environment
that those kids are coming through
then you can start to encourage
a more inclusive place.
I talked to
Rau Hoskins, who's doing a fantastic
project. He's an architect.
It's called 'seeing our faces in our spaces'.
And he actually gave a talk in
Parliament Hall and said "this is
called the cultural landscape,"
in this wonderfully English building right.
"And if you look out the window from that building,"
"you can't see any clue that you're in"
"the South Pacific."
And he said, "how are we supposed to feel
at home here?" And he just said it very
calmly, and very quietly,
and it really resonated with the audience.
And I wonder if that's true in classrooms.
Can we make our classrooms
more specific to the South Pacific?
And does that make a difference to whether
people feel welcome?
So Rau was the one who used that
sentence with 'inaccessible realm'.
That's how science feels to
Māori and Pasifika kids.
And I also keep seeing statistics and measures.
Māori and Pasifika kids are bad at math
but what are they good at?
What if we measure Kaitiakitanga instead?
I mean, can we think about our curriculum?
Can we think about putting interventions into it?
Can we think about the examples we used
that might make people feel more at home?
I don't know, you guys are the experts
and I'd love to hear what you think.
I'm finding beautiful examples.
I've been travelling around the country.
For the last three months,
everywhere I go, I've been finding
fantastic examples of places
where Te Reo Māori and Western Science are
coming together and
strengthening both. And I'm
increasingly of the view that lots of the things
that we can learn from kaupapa Māori methods
of research and teaching
are keys to unlock some of these
horrible issues we've got around people being
anti-science and locked into polarised debates.
How can we
bring through the next generation of kids
who say that they understand both worlds and
really strengthen the two?
