Doctoral Co-Supervisor Whariki Research CentreResearcher, evaluator, artist and academic. I draw on these identities to express, connect and articulate Indigenous solidarity, self-determination and hope. Community psychology trained and practising as a Kaupapa M膩ori researcher and evaluator. My work highlights the importance of the Indigenous voice and control with respect to the design and delivery of health services, qualitative methods, strategy and evaluation. She has a PhD in Public Health, which was a Health Research Council-funded project entitled ‘Kaupapa M膩ori evaluation: Transforming health literacy.’ The doctoral research was about mainstreaming Indigenous health literacy practice, building capacity for institutional change at all levels; health workforce, organisations, systems all contributing towards building health literacy. The research is grounded on the underpinning principle of self-determination promoting the re-claiming of health literacy as a space for Indigenous peoples to be ourselves, a space that is negotiated, adaptive and shaped by people, wh膩nau and communities.
