Abstract

Critical to all aspects of academic life, academic hospitality is said to be key to creating healthy learning communities. Yet, for many outsiders, strangers and newcomers, academia can be a sight of asserting territory and superiority. Students and academics are trained to function within an institutionalized setting where success is measured through the rigid rigour of scientific enquiry and rewarded on an individual basis. The solitary journey that is heralded by the academic institution fails to recognize the fundamental need for belonging, community and kinship, leaving limited space within the academy in which to practice manaakitanga or hospitality. We argue that the Māori concept of manaakitanga not only captures the virtuous elements of hospitality, namely generosity, openness and hospitableness, that can often be excluded in hospitality literature but also serves as a mechanism for resistance in a context that serves to fragment and divide. In this article, we draw on our personal and collective experiences to describe ways in which Indigenous worldviews and perspectives are commonly met with hostility in academia. We detail our response to such inhospitality through the formation of ‘Knowledge in Indigenous Networks’ (K.I.N.), an Indigenous academic collective that is underpinned by manaakitanga. We conclude this article by identifying six sites for critical engagement with the notion of academic hospitality that will assist academic institutions to enact the value of manaakitanga.
Manaakitanga和学院
学术热情好客对学术生活的各个方面都至关重要,据说是创造健康学习社区的关键。然而,对于许多外人、陌生人和新来者来说,学术界可能是主张领土和优越感的场所。学生和学者被训练在一个制度化的环境中发挥作用,在这个环境中,成功是通过严格严谨的科学探究来衡量的,并以个人为基础进行奖励。学术机构宣扬的孤独之旅没有认识到归属感、社区和亲属关系的基本需要,在学院内留下了有限的空间来实践manaakitanga或热情好客。我们认为Māori manaakitanga的概念不仅抓住了好客的美德要素,即慷慨、开放和好客,这些在酒店文学中经常被排除在外,而且在有助于分裂和分裂的背景下作为一种抵抗机制。在这篇文章中,我们利用个人和集体的经验来描述土著世界观和观点在学术界经常遭到敌意的方式。我们通过形成“土著网络知识”(K.I.N.)详细说明了我们对这种冷漠的回应,这是一个以manaakitanga为基础的土著学术团体。在本文的最后,我们确定了六个地点,对学术接待的概念进行批判性参与,这将有助于学术机构制定manaakitanga的价值。
