What is an ethnic, former refugee, and migrant researchers online Tautoko session?  

Ethnic, former refugee, and migrant researcher Tautoko sessions provide a dynamic informal space that fosters a collective sense of shared purpose with opportunities to learn from each other, share stories, experiences, research activities, methodologies, challenges, gaps and explore ideas and opportunities.  

We celebrate all forms of community-led knowledge-making, whether it’s community-based mahi and mātauranga, or based within organisations, the public service, or academia. If you are developing or an ally of ‘by community for community’ learnings, we value your thoughts and contributions and want you to be part of our research network.   

Come along and connect with other researchers, former refugees, and migrant peers who are passionate about research by and for ethnic communities and how it can be used to support collective action and positive change. 

Facilitator: Bev Tso Hong | Kaitūhono, Ethnic Research Engagement Lead, Community Research
