​Nau mai! Welcome!

I am a writer from Aotearoa New Zealand, of Pākehā (NZ European) and Māori (Ngāi Tahu) descent. I hold a Master of Arts in Philosophy from The University of Auckland, and diplomas in te reo Māori (the Māori language) from Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. I have written for the Guardian, Newsroom, and Takahē. My book, Love Notes: for a Politics of Love, is published in New York by Lantern Books. In 2018, I co-organised 'The Politics of Love: A Conference' at All Souls College, Oxford. Also, I am the kaiwhakatipu (editor) of He Ika Haehae Kupenga.

​​Kī mai ki ahau, He aha te mea nui o te ao?
Māku e kī atu, Ehara i 'te tangata, te tangata', engari ko te aroha e!
