The joint Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga (NPM) and Royal Society Te Apārangi project, Te Takarangi - which is celebrating a sample historical to contemporary 150 Māori non-fiction books - has recently reached the 50 book milestone.

Dr Ocean Mercier (Ngāti Porou) from Victoria University of Wellington has joined NPM’s Research Leadership Team (RLT) as co-theme leader Te Tai Ao, taking up the role alongside Professor Helen Moewaka Barnes.

 

MAI Journal has released - Volume 7, Issue 1 - its first issue for 2018.



This issue is available online, and with open access here.

The theme of this years NPM International Indigenous Research Conference is Indigenous Futures. We are expecting hundreds of national and international delegates to meet us here at Waipapa Marae - the University of Auckland, in November.

NPM founding co-director, Principal Investigator, University of Waikato academic and our International Research Advisory Board chair, Professor Linda Tuhiwai Smith (Ngāti Awa, Ngāti Porou) recently received an Honorary Doctor of Laws in a Special Convocation ceremony at the University of Winnipeg.

The annual Fulbright-Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga Graduate and Scholar Awards have opened for applications once again, and this year the scope and value of the Graduate Awards have improved considerably on previous years.

In February 2018, NPM hosted our annual Principal Investigator Wānanga in the beauitiful Whakatū (Nelson) together with one of our partners the Cawthron Institute, and with support from the locally based Wakatū Incorporation.

Kia hiwa ra! Kia hiwa ra!
