Lydia Wevers' 'Being Pākehā: The Politics of Location' interrogates what it means to be Pākehā, engaging in a reflexive examination of culture and politics. The panel engages with this seminal article and explores persistent dis-ease about who Pākehā are. They extend this work beyond a focus on biculturalism to explore the place of tauiwi in a landscape shaped by the Christchurch mosque shootings, and within work by Māori towards tino rangitiratanga. In unpicking the politics and culture of this location, they continue the work of Lydia and many others to reassemble a place of radical justice.
