Why isn’t my professor Māori? By @taramcallister4, @JoannaKidman, @MoanaTheodore and @OliviaRowley4 documents the under-representation of Māori academics in NZ’s universities 3/ https://twitter.com/taramcallister4/status/1166417623090790400
Why isn’t my professor Pasifika? By @SereanaNaepi shows that Pacific academics comprise less than 2% of academics employed by universities in NZ 4/ https://twitter.com/SereanaNaepi/status/1166416148339945472
We then took a look at our ‘pipeline’ into academia and no surprises but its Pakaru 5/ https://twitter.com/SereanaNaepi/status/1237165855781163009
@lanipai then challenged us to consider just how under-represented women are in wider academic leadership roles 6/ https://twitter.com/Lanipai/status/1267577047418716160
Now we have the under-represented and overlooked article that tracks Maori and Pacific scientists not just in universities but also crown-funded research institutes 7/ https://twitter.com/taramcallister4/status/1290370320432472064
We will keep updating this thread as more of our collective efforts are published - we don’t want to spoil it but we will be talking about attrition rates, completion rates, UG to PG conversion rates, gender and ethnicity inequities, and shining the light on specific fields 8/
We are committed to continuing to uncover data, which supports our lived experiences and challenges universities and other publicly-funded institutions to practice the values they outwardly espouse 9/
Our hope is that these papers can be used as leverage to push for the changes needed in New Zealand’s research and education space. So if you want to collaborate or can think of some research that needs to be done please get in touch 10/
