MAI ki Aronui is open to all Māori and Indigenous students studying on a research pathway. We currently support scholars enrolled in master’s and PhD research programmes and continue to support and be supported by a number of our MAI ki Aronui alumni (some of whom are early career academics). We welcome scholars from both AUT and other universities to join us at our home Te Pūrengi, the whare nui at Te Wai o Horotiu Marae at AUT.
We offer a number of weekend wānanga throughout the year, writing retreats, workshops, and social events to support Māori and Indigenous research scholars to excel in their chosen fields and to grow their Indigenous networks. Join our Facebook group for regular updates or email us for more information.
