Our amazing research collab of Māori and Pasifika scholars began with our two sister papers Why isn’t my prof Māori/Pasifika? Published in MAI, you can find them here https://tinyurl.com/yyv9sr97 ">https://tinyurl.com/yyv9sr97&... or check out these two threads below https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏾" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏾" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏾" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)"> 2/

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">https://twitter.com/taramcall...

We then took a look at our ‘pipeline’ into academia and no surprises but its Pakaru 5/ https://twitter.com/SereanaNaepi/status/1237165855781163009">https://twitter.com/SereanaNa...

@lanipai then challenged us to consider just how under-represented women are in wider academic leadership roles 6/ https://twitter.com/Lanipai/status/1267577047418716160">https://twitter.com/Lanipai/s...

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">https://twitter.com/taramcall...

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/
