Whakauae is pleased to announce the results of the Pae Tawhiti Scholarship Awards for Masters and PhD students for the 2016 academic year.
Taking its name from Hauiti tūpuna, Whakaari Te Rangitakuku Mete-Kingi's well-known whakatauāki, the scholarship programme provides funding to Māori students at Masters or PhD level who have a proven record of academic excellence; demonstrated a commitment to te ao Māori; and are enrolled in a research degree with a focus on Hauora Māori.
The scholarship programme was developed with a view to:
The scholarship assessing committee, comprising iwi members as well as health researchers, assessed all eleven applications that were received for the 2016 year. The committee noted the great diversity of topics which students of hauora Māori are researching, from the importance of wai, through to indicators of flourishing whānau. Dr Amohia Boulton, the Chair of the committee, noted the calibre of the students who applied in 2016 and observed that interest shown in the scholarships indicates a growing recognition of the importance of Māori health research, Māori research methodologies and mātauranga Māori both to the academy and to Māori communities.
Masters student Emma Rawson has been awarded the inaugural Whakauae Pae Tawhiti Scholarship for Māori Health Research, to further her work investigating institutional racism in human resource practices in public health units.
Emma is of Ngāi Te Rangi, Ngāti Ranginui and Raukawa iwi and has a passion for public health research; a kaupapa that aligns with the Whakauae work programme. Emma is completing her Masters at Auckland University of Technology through the Faculty of Health and Environmental Sciences. Emma's research will examine the experiences and observations of senior Māori staff within the public health workforce, to identify sites where institutional racism is a barrier to equitable outcomes in health.
Whakauae congratulates this year's scholarship recipient and looks forward to building a relationship that has the potential to improve Māori health outcomes and focuses on attaining equity in health outcomes for Māori.
Nō reira, ngā mihi nūnui ki a koe e Emma, koutou tō whānau hoki.
Ko te pae tawhiti, whāia kia tata, ko te pae tata, whakamaua kia tīna!
