UNESCO RIELA: The sounds of integrationE84 - Everyday peacebuilding and refugee resettlement: Supporting a more peaceful Aotearoa New ZealandIn this episode, recorded at the online UNESCO RIELA Spring School 2025, Anna Burgin shares her research into refugee resettlement in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
Abstract:
Refugee resettlement, while offering refuge, is also what Pratt (1991) calls a “contact zone”, a space of contestation and unequal power dynamics. In Aotearoa New Zealand, resettlement is also dominated by the settler colonial government to the exclusion of Māori. This presentation will discuss the perspectives of NZ European volunteers supporting Māori-led welcome (pōwhiri) aimed at creating peaceful connections with former refugees and migrants in Dunedin. I discuss volunteers' reflections through the lens of Pratt’s...

Good News
Bernice Johnson Reagon once sang for us a corrective teaching, along the lines that: “It’s ‘good news’ when you reject things as they are. […] And they don’t say ‘it’s good times’, they say ‘it’s good news’.” Fifty years later, these are definitely not good times. And, in this powerfully strange moment, even looking around for ‘good news’ often feels inappropriately consolational, often at fatal odds with the dreads and...
