Member of Te Whakatere au Pāpori (Navigating Social Currents) Research Group at the University of Auckland
2022

Description Te Whakatere au Pāpori (Navigating Social Currents) was instigated in 2012 to bring together researchers interested in how children and young people navigate and negotiate their social worlds.

We ask how children and young people:

-Come to understand their social worlds and their place within them through lenses such as identity, citizenship, participation, community or children’s voice
-Make sense of unexpected happenings in their social worlds through lenses such as resilience, disaster response and recovery, transience, migration or becoming refugees
-Make sense of the social issues they face such as poverty, friendships or bullying

Since its launch Te Whakatere au Pāpori has hosted an international conference, presented symposia at four international conferences and held regular faculty-wide research seminars as well as producing three special issues of peer reviewed journals and a range of other research outputs.

University of Auckland First in Course Award: EDPROFST 774 Education and Empowerment
2017

Description I was able to critically examine contemporary issues faced in New Zealand's decile 1-3 urban schools. The course provided International and New Zealand based literature to help me gain a wider picture of the current theory and research regarding the history, politics, teaching and learning, and best practice relevant to New Zealand's decile 1-3 urban school students, teachers and communities. Emphasis was on empowerment theories, underpinned by Freirean perspectives. Through this course, I was able to examine selected issues and understand the forces behind poverty, disadvantage, marginalisation, exclusion and investigate proposed solutions to approach these concerns, not from a position of despair, but a position of hope and transformation.

University of Auckland First in Course Award: EDUC 705 Education and Development Policy
2017

Description I was able to explore the nature and role of education within the ‘developing’ world, with a particular focus on the region of which New Zealand is part, Oceania. The theoretical content of the course was derived largely from concepts and models of ‘development’ and globalisation and how these influence educational policy and practice. A key focus of the course was to explore how against the current global context, marked by record numbers of children who have been forced out of school due to displacement, disease, and disasters, education may have an even more critical important role in ensuring in ten years time, the global community has met the global commitments signalled under the Sustainable Development Goals.
