• In Event: 18.015 - Diversity in Community: Indigenous Scholars Writing

Abstract

From 2002-2010, Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga, the Māori Centre of Research Excellence at the University of Auckland, New Zealand focused on addressing disparities in Māori participation and success in tertiary education and research training. One of the initial goals was to attain a total of 500 Māori PhDs in five years. In order to reach the target a number of strategic programmes were initiated and funded by Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga. Thus the writing retreats for Māori PhD candidates began in 2004 and the retreats for senior Māori academics and researchers began in 2006.
