VICTORIA ACADEMICS GRANTED FUNDING TO BOOST MĀORI INNOVATION
Two Victoria University of Wellington academics have received funding of almost $150,000 from the Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) to support research projects that are building capability and innovation for Māori.
The funding has been granted through MBIE’s 2017 Te Punaha Hihiko Vision Matauranga Capability Fund, which was established to grow skills and capacity for Māori participation in science and innovation.
Dr Maria Bargh, from Victoria’s School of Māori Studies—Te Kawa a Māui, has received almost $100,000 to continue her research on iwi organisation voting. She is working with Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa to build knowledge on its current voter trends, with the hope that this information will help Ngāti Awa and other iwi become more connected.
