About Me

Tēnā koutou rau rangatira ma
He mihi mahana kia koutou, kia tatou katoa.
Ka nui te mihi ki a koutou.

Hine is currently the Director of the Indigenous Leadership Centre housed within the National Institute of Māori Education at Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi indigenous-university. She recently joined the Wānanga whānau having arrived from Massey University where, as a senior lecturer, she was teaching and supervising students within the M.Ed. Admin program.  In relation to teaching, she graduated from Hamilton Teachers training College in 1980 to her first teaching position at Otumoetai Intermediate in Tauranga. Underpinned by seventeen years teaching and leadership opportunities she was drawn back to the University with the desire to find solutions to a number of pressing questions about equity and unrealised potential. Having worked in general stream, bilingual, rural, urban, and international schools Hine’s tertiary teaching and research is clearly built on her early rich array of educational experiences.

Hine’s tertiary experience commenced at the Eastern Institute of Technology (EIT) where she developed the National Nanny Certificate and helped write the initial curricula document as an inaugural founding member of the national Nanny Educators of New Zealand (NEONZ) committee. Winning an Assistant Lecturers position at Massey University allowed Hine to complete an M.Ed. Admin (with first class honours) which she received the Rae Munroe Award (presented by NZARE for one masters dissertation nationally) She then moved into a senior lecturing position in Te Uru Maraurau: the department of Māori and Multicultural education where she developed and taught a number of under and postgraduate courses. During this time she also contributed to departmental, school and broader institutional committees and working parties such as, the Massey University Ethics Committee, College and Academic Boards, Exclusions Committee, and working parties to do with a review of the Ph.D. policies and processes, Assessment reviews while also participating on accreditation panels and serving as an external monitor for educational programs. During this time she also took up a Fulbright Scholarship to study at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Hine is currently completing a Phd from UW Madison, with Michael Apple drawing on the work of Bhabha and Bhaktin within a Kaupapa Māori framework to explore issues of indigeniety and the ways in which the politics of knowledge, method, and praxis underpin a politics of healing in uneven worlds.
