Speakers
Jill Chrisp and Karen Johansen
Karen and Jill are partners in life and in business, but also have whakapapa which intertwine in unexpected and challenging ways. Jill is a descendant of a Tairāwhiti settler family. Her great-great-grandfather and former Gisborne harbour master was responsible for having the iconic rock ‘Te Toka a Taiau’ destroyed to open shipping lanes. Karen belongs to Rongowhakaata,Te Aitanga-a Mahaki and Ngai Tamanuhiri, 3 iwi significantly impacted by this event. They have spent a lifetime having awkward conversations and navigating the tricky realities of their respective families, histories and lived realities.
Karen, previous New Zealand Indigenous Rights Commissioner with the New Zealand Human Rights Commission and Gisborne Girls High School Principal has spent her life championing indigenous rights at home and throughout Aotearoa. While engagement with human rights issues for tangata whenua are wide ranging, her main focus has been on the formal education sector. She is currently involved in advising the establishment of Tūranga Tangata Rite, an Iwi/Crown-owned school in Tūranganui-a-Kiwa.
Jill is an international, regional and community-led development specialist. She works in strategic leadership, capacity-building, project management and research roles with a focus on the promotion and protection of human rights and sustainable economic, social, cultural and environmental wellbeing. She is currently working on projects in Aotearoa, the Pacific and in Asia.
