An inspirational morning at Royal Society Te Apārangi’s #hepitomata with our early career researchers. Through Te Ara Paerangi – Future Pathways, I am committed to reducing career precarity & developing clear pathways for the research leaders of tomorrow.

Sereana Naepi Vinaka Sereana Naepi ❤️ my heart is full. Humbled by the support, the hugs, the songs, the blessings that enveloped me. Who/m do I work for? It is us. It is those that came before me, those whose voices are excluded & for those yet to come. The #mopheads are here to stay.

Some of those employers are Crown Research Institutes. When the employees are immigrants and ineligible for KiwiSaver and unfamiliar with the situation, they may not actually get paid their 'total wages' as described in their contract. This happened to me and many others. 1/2

I always get re-energized when I meet these wonderful people. They: appreciate and understand diversity, help ECRs in NZ thrive, speak on their behalf & never stop advocating. I'm happy to be part of this GROUP Royal Society Te Apārangi tnx 4All Dsupport AgResearch Sereana Naepi

Love having convos about Te Tiriti & powersharing, especially with Pākehā who are excited (not traumatised) about the idea. Takes courage & imagination. Grasp of facts. Here’s a longer version of me & ⁦Rob Campbell⁩ on ⁦Te Ao with MOANA⁩ ⁦1/ e-tangata.co.nz/korero/rob-cam…

A big shout out to Chlöe Swarbrick whose insightful questions at the select committee hearing helped shed light on the plight of the post-graduate researchers in Aotearoa New Zealand.

An important reminder that immigration rules might also affect a worker’s ability to engage in collective action. @Leila_FAS rational_geographic

Time for NZ to step up with IP laws, similar to some European countries, and recognise Māori IP rights and the fact that NZ has an obligation to Te Tiriti to protect rights of Taonga. nzherald.co.nz/nz/maori-hei-t… #maori

An over-reliance on international students to subsidise under-funding operational costs is going to continue to be a problem for our unis. We need to rethink funding models and also planning and projection calculations.

Opinion about tikanga changes when AI can store and analyse human consciousness and a challenge to our Māori leaders to plan for AI. taiuru.maori.nz/te-ao-maori-co… #maori #ai #gai #chatgpt #maoridatasoverignty

The call for applications for Horizon Europe National Contact Points ends at 9:00 AM on the 29th (tomorrow morning). It would be awesome to have those roles filled by EMCRs. Imagine the kind of future that could be build with their leadership. mbie.govt.nz/science-and-te…

Now is the time to support our VUW Pacific colleagues. They have grown our Pacific academy, raised the voices of our communities and changed how we think about Knowledge Making. Reach out if you want to be part of this.

Its is not just research skills that are being lost at VUW and Otago but also teaching. Both TEC and MBIE have made their visions for the sector pretty clear over the last few years in terms of equity. WHY IS IT WHEN BROWN PEOPLE GET ACCESS THERES SUDDENLY NO MONEY?!?

So today is the day I launch my Rutherford interviews about working in our neoliberal universities. If you are interested, please reach out and feel free to pass on the invite to others. 👩🏾‍🎓🧑🏾‍🎓👨🏾‍🎓👩🏾‍💻🧑🏾‍💻👩🏾‍🏫🧑🏾‍🏫🧑🏾‍🔬👩🏾‍🔬
