Nau mai! Welcome!

Thank you for visiting. I am a writer from Aotearoa New Zealand, of Pākehā (NZ European) and Māori (Ngāi Tahu) descent. I am a PhD candidate at the University of Sydney, and I hold a Master of Arts in Philosophy from The University of Auckland, as well as 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 by Lantern Books. And in 2018, I co-organised 'The Politics of Love: A Conference' at All Souls College, Oxford. Also, I established and edited He Ika Haehae Kupenga.
