Nau mai! ​Welcome!

I am a writer from Aotearoa New Zealand, of Pākehā (NZ European) and Māori (Ngāi Tahu) descent. I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Sociology and Social Policy at the University of Sydney, and affiliated with the Sydney Environment Institute. 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 publications such as 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 was kaiwhakatipu (editor) of He Ika Haehae Kupenga.
