|| Always Italicise: How To Write While Colonised ||
This week on Episode 107 of the #ReadswithRosaPodcast, I catch up for a kōrero with Dr Alice Te Punga Somerville. She is a mother, an award winning poet, Māori Scholar and an irredentist. We discuss her award winning book - 𝙰𝚕𝚠𝚊𝚢𝚜 𝙸𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚌𝚒𝚜𝚎: 𝙷𝚘𝚠 𝚝𝚘 𝚠𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚎 𝚠𝚑𝚒𝚕𝚎 𝚌𝚘𝚕𝚘𝚗𝚒𝚜𝚎𝚍, publishing + literary spaces, her current mahi at the University of British Columbia and the efforts of the English Faculty to hire more BIPOC academics, connecting the kaupapa that we are doing to highlight indigenous literature, potential for solidarity across indigenous communities not just our own, ‘Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto, and how her journey in Academia became more than just filling her kete and returning home to Aotearoa.
