Read about some of what we've produced from our research so far.
Whangaroa Hui
Robyn Tauroa
Robyn acknowledged everyone who contributed to and supported her research at a hui at Whangaroa in June 2024. Here she is with her moko and some of the kai-kōrero who she interviewed for her thesis, standing in front of a visual presentation of her work. The intimate gathering gave Robyn an opportunity to thank everyone who had supported her research with special recognition of the kai-kōrero who she interviewed. Robyn presented on her thesis and gave everyone a copy of her thesis with their individual interview recordings. Robyn will be publishing from her thesis in the next edition of Te Pouhere Kōrero, due for publication in April 2025.
Melissa Matutina Williams
In the early stages of Melissa’s research, Covid-19 created a period of uncertainty, lockdowns, facetiming and the (re)articulation of what whānau ora meant in North Hokianga communities.
Check out how she worked with Te Kupenga to produce a hapū-centered response to Covid-19.
