Dr Rebecca Kiddle is Ngāti Porou and Ngāpuhi and is Director of the Research Centre, Te Manawahoukura based at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. With training in urban design (MA and PhD in urban design, Oxford Brookes University, UK), her work focuses on Indigeneity in an urban context and in particular the uncovering of Indigenous identities, worldviews and value sets in our homes, streets, public spaces, towns and cities. In addition, she is concerned with disrupting dominant decision-making processes to ensure those voices who are little heard are elevated.
