Waikato University staff to lead project on racial oppression

From Morning Report, 7:38 am on 24 September 2020

Researchers at the University of Waikato are leading a new project that will investigate racial oppression and inequality in Aotearoa and the world.

Twenty-one researchers from institutions in New Zealand and Canada will contribute to the study including experts in Māori and Pacific studies.

It comes as the University itself has launched an independent investigation into claims of structural racism at the institution.

Dr Waikaremoana Waitoki is a Senior Research Fellow specialising in Maori Psychology at the University of Waikato.
