Dr Krushil Watene, senior lecturer in philosophy at Massey University, has been awarded a 2018 Rutherford Discovery Fellowship. The fellowship is awarded in support of her research on Intergenerational Justice, in which she is looking at how New Zealand Maori narrative describes obligations and decision-making involving other generations. Dr Watene’s Rutherford Discovery Fellowship, which provides NZ$800,000 in research funding over five years, is the first Rutherford ever awarded to a philosopher. The Royal Society of New Zealand awards ten Fellowships per year across all disciplines.
