We welcomed our newest kaimahi – Gauri Nandedkar – to our whānau in November. Gauri takes up the new role of Kaitūhono – Research Sector Engagement and Projects Lead. This role will support the organisation to re-engage with the sector and lead some of our equity and social justice projects.
“I am thrilled to be part of the Community Research whānau. My research background is in international development, housing, and migration. The strands that weave these topics together are an interest in seeking perspectives and voices from marginalised and silenced communities. I am working towards honouring indigenous knowledges, practitioner-based and lived experiences in the width and breath in which they occur in Aotearoa – with you, our diverse research communities. Please feel free to reach out. I look forward to hearing from you.”
