Plenary: Communicating research on racism in universities

Dr Tara McAllister and Dr Sereana Naepi discuss their “unexpected collaboration” as a Māori freshwater ecologist and a Fijian sociologist who have come together to shine a light on racism in universities. They will explore how they have weaved their distinct areas of expertise together to publish high-impact research and how they have effectively communicated that research in a variety of fora.
