“Paving the way for diversity, equity and inclusion” is an interview series moderated by Noemi Sinkovics (University of Glasgow, UK) and Tanvi Kothari (San José State University, USA) that aims to stimulate discussions on initiatives that bring this agenda forward. This series provides a good opportunity to showcase good practice but also to draw attention to different contexts and the opportunities and challenges that those contexts offer. In this video interview we look at the New Zealand context and zoom in on the Auckland University of Technology’s Eke Tangaroa Maori and Pacific Early Career Academic Programme.
About our three panelists:
