Ep 11: Body Sovereignty with Ashlea Gillon

Ashlea Gillon of Ngāti Awa shares some of the research from her
latest publication, 'Fat Indigenous Bodies and Body Sovereignty:
An Exploration of Re-presentations'. We discuss bio-power and
some of the connections between bodies, women, and land. Ashlea
also shares critical perspectives on body positivity using
Kaupapa Māori research approaches. Indigenous perspectives on
gender and consent are also explored using Māori cosmology and
lessons from the Atua, Hine-Nui-Te-Pō (Great woman of the night).
DISCLAIMER: This episode is marked E (explicit) because there is
no T (for Tapu) option, which is to say we discuss sensitive and
gendered topics openly through a noa (neutralized) state in this
recording.
