cardiCast episode 82 – Kim Tairi

When you think of a librarian, what image pops into your head? Because for me, before I met Kim Tairi, I saw an old nanny wearing a cardigan, glasses with a beaded chain, and a long burgundy skirt.  Damn all those television programmes that embed stereotypes into my brain!  Our NUKU //015 couldn’t be further away from that picture. Kim manages a university library and works with 100 staff. She has been working in this field, in different roles, for more than 25 years.  Born in Otepoti, she has spent a lot of her life living across the ditch. She loves working in libraries because they help build social capacity, they are a safe space, a warm space, and provide access to knowledge to help people navigate their way through life.  In this episode Kim smashes all my preconceived ideas about this career pathway. The funky māma talks about indigenous knowledge systems, decolonising cultural institutions  and, feminism.  (This podcast is marked as explicit, but she only drops 1 impassioned f-bomb about a third of the way through. Its otherwise safe for all ears).

#13: Kim Tairi

Kim Tairi, head librarian at AUT, joins Tessa and Jen i tēnei wiki. Kim moved back to Aotearoa recently after living in Australia for most of her adult life. She shares her insights tuning in to te reo Māori after an extended period away. And it wouldn't be a Kōrerorero ep without a Stacey Morrison fangirl moment!!
