Our second keynote speaker, Associate Professor Mere Skerrett, on how multilingual brains often out-perform monolingual brains on problem solving and other cognitive abilities. “To write in our own language is to rewrite the world in our image. To teach literacy in Māori is to teach life itself, to remember that our words are woven from the soil to the sea, the stars and beyond.” #WIPCE2025 #indigenous #science #tereomaori #bilingual | WIPCE 2025
