Georgina Tuari Marjorie Stewart is a New Zealand academic, and is Professor of Māori Philosophy of Education at the Auckland University of Technology. She is one of a small number of Māori-speaking qualified mathematics and science teachers.
Academic career
Stewart studied chemistry at the University of Auckland, completing a Master of Science degree in 1982, followed by a Diploma of Teaching from the Auckland College of Education in 1991. She taught science, pūtaiao (science within a Māori framework), mathematics and te reo Māori in schools in Auckland and Whangārei.
Stewart completed a PhD titled Kaupapa Māori Science at the University of Waikato in 2007. She spent six years lecturing at the University of Auckland before she joined the faculty of Auckland University of Technology in 2016, rising to full professor in 2023.
Stewart has received two Marsden grants, the first a three-year Fast Start grant on "Maori-medium educational scholarship" in 2014, to research the use of te reo Māori for university-level teaching, scholarship and research. In 2021, she was awarded a full grant titled "Māori Flexible Learning Spaces (FLS) for supporting Mātauranga Māori and biculturalism in schools", an empirical study of flexible learning spaces in Māori-identity schools involving a national survey of schools, interviews and ethnography.
Stewart is a member of the Māori philosophy group, alongside Garrick Cooper, Carl Mika, Te Kawehau Hoskins, and Brendan Hokowhitu. The group describe themselves as "critical Māori scholars, thinkers and activists across several universities and disciplines, all interested in contributing to a more intentional discussion about, and practising of Māori philosophy, such as Māori forms of thought, critique and scholarship".
Stewart published the book Māori Philosophy: Indigenous thinking from Aotearoa in 2021, and was lead editor for Writing for Publication: Liminal reflections for academics also published in 2021. Stewart is co-editor in chief of the New Zealand Journal of Educational Studies, an associate editor of the Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand and Educational Philosophy and Theory, and on the editorial board of Curriculum Matters.
