In last month’s e-pānui we announced that Distinguished Professor Marcia Langton AO FASSA FTSE will be the opening keynote for our International Indigenous Research Conference to be held in Tāmaki from November 12 to 15. We are excited to confirm seven more keynote speakers for IIRC - each of them exceptional, each of them embodying our conference theme ‘Whītiki Taua: Research Solidarities.

NPM is excited to begin 2025 by welcoming on board a new Pou Matarua, Professor Melinda Webber (Te Paatu, Ngāti Hau, Ngāti Hine, Ngāti Whakaue). A long-time NPM researcher, Melinda brings a wealth of experience as a Professor and Deputy Dean in the Faculty of Education and Social Work at Waipapa Taumata Rau, The University of Auckland.

Our NPM team has been working hard over the past month to confirm the programme for IIRC24 which will be held at Waipapa Taumata Rau, 12 - 15 November. With more than 500 participants confirmed, seven keynotes and 200+ paper presentations, IIRC24 is not to be missed!
