Ashlea Gillon of Ngāti Awa shares some of the research from her latest publication, 'Fat Indigenous Bodies and Body Sovereignty: An Exploration of Re-presentations'. We discuss bio-power and some of the connections between bodies, women, and land. Ashlea also shares critical perspectives on body positivity using Kaupapa Māori research approaches. Indigenous perspectives on gender and consent are also explored using Māori cosmology and lessons from the Atua, Hine-Nui-Te-Pō (Great woman of the night). DISCLAIMER: This episode is marked E (explicit) because there is no T (for Tapu) option, which is to say we discuss sensitive and gendered topics openly through a noa (neutralized) state in this recording.
