Five Indigenous Curtin postgraduate students attended and shared their research at the annual MAI (Māori and Indigenous) Te Kupenga Hui-a-Tau, a gathering of Māori and Indigenous doctoral and postgraduate candidates. Held at the University of Auckland in Aotearoa, the event brought 120 scholars together to connect and showcase their work.

Supported by the Research Office at Curtin and the Centre for Aboriginal Studies, this was the first time a university from Western Australia participated in the event. The Curtin students look forward to sharing the progress of their research at next year’s Hui, which will be hosted by the University of Otago.
