Academic career

[edit]

Stewart-Harawira is Māori, and affiliates to the Waitaha ki Te Waipounamu iwi.[2]

In 1993 Stewart-Harawira earned a Bachelor of Arts in education and Māori studies, followed by a Master of Arts with honours in education in 1995, both at the University of Auckland. She went on to complete a PhD titled Globalisation and the Return to Empire: an Indigenous Response = Te torino whakahaere, whakamuri, also at the University of Auckland. Her doctoral research was supervised by Michael Peters and Graham Smith.[3]

Stewart-Harawira worked at Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi, where she was acting Head of Graduate Studies and a lecturer in the Department of Postgraduate Studies.[4] She was a research fellow at the Woolf Fisher Research Institute at Auckland, and then moved to Canada in 2004.[4][5] Stewart-Harawira is a full professor at the University of Alberta, where she researches Indigenous water rights and environmentalism. She is a board member of the Canadian NGO Keepers of the Water, contributed to the IPCC 6th Global Assessment, and is a member of both the Commission on Ecosystem Management and the joint Specialist Group on Indigenous Peoples, Customary & Environmental Laws and Human Rights for the International Union for Conservation of Nature.[5][6][2]

Makere-Stewart's 2005 book, The New Imperial Order: Indigenous responses to globalization, was described by historian Lorenzo Veracini as "a remarkable and necessary contribution".[7] Professor of Māori Studies Mason Durie described it as "a thorough and scholarly examination of indigeneity in a global environment and [Makere Stewart-Harawira] has made a valuable and major contribution to the indigenous literature".[8]

In 2020 Makere-Stewart co-founded the I-STEAM Pathways programme at the University of Alberta.[9] The programme offers paid internships to First Nations, Métis and Inuit youth to conduct interdisciplinary research in fields such as biology, technology, environmental engineering, policy and law.[10] The programme is the first such initiative in Canada, and came about after the Provincial Court of Alberta ordered the Obed Mountain Mine to fund environmental research as recompense for a 2013 spill into the Athabasca River.[9][11]

Awards

[edit]

Makere-Stewart co-wrote a paper that was runner-up in the Environmental Politics Article of the Year Award in 2021, "Multispecies justice: theories, challenges, and a research agenda for environmental politics".[12] In 2022 Makere-Stewart and the other co-founders of I-STEAM won the Social Innovation – Programs Promoting Indigenous People category of the ASTech Awards.[13] In 2023 Makere-Stewart was awarded for Outstanding Achievement in Social Innovation: Programs Promoting Indigenous People by the University of Alberta.[14]
