Researcher in Development Geography
I thoroughly enjoyed chairing the engaging session on resilience, knowledge, and identities in the Pacific at the Aotearoa New Zealand International Development Studies (DevNet) conference. We concluded with reflections on the terminologies and identities a new generation of scholars seeks to embrace in guiding the future of Pacific development studies.
It was a pleasure to chair the session on socio-economic inequalities and uneven development at the Aotearoa New Zealand International Development Studies (DevNet) conference at the University of Otago.
💡 A key message from our session is the value of research exploring the nuanced lived experiences of diverse sociocultural groups across different localities for effective policy responses.
