Real Stories - Building Māori relationships in community and research

With special guest speaker Saied Baroutian, this Real Stories Session aims to delve into a researcher’s personal account of the development of their relationship with a Māori community throughout their research. Saeid’s work has not only captured the taste of hāngi in a bottle but has provided commercial opportunities for Māori communities to develop their underutilised resources.

Join us to explore the journey from his perspective on the learning and steps that were helpful with the aim of developing meaningful relationships with Ruatōria’s community throughout this project.

This session is open to all University of Auckland researchers, research support staff, and UniServices staff.
