The Ethnic Research Hui Aotearoa 2023 – Outputs and opportunities

Bev Tso Hong,

Explore ideas for action to enhance ethnic voices and evidence in public policy

We are very excited to invite you to attend a webinar/workshop jointly hosted by the Aotearoa Migration Research Network (AMRN) and Community Research. Presented by Bev Tso Hong (Community Research) with Cayathri Divakalala, Tim Fadgen, and Arezoo Zarintaj Malihi (Aotearoa Migration Research Network).

In 2023, the Ministry for Ethnic Communities, in collaboration with Ethnic Research Aotearoa (ERA), marked a significant milestone with the launch of the Ethnic Research Hui Aotearoa 2023. The event, held at the National Library, brought together a diverse and enthusiastic assembly of over 100 participants, comprising researchers, evaluators, policy analysts, practitioners, leaders, and service providers from various sectors.

The overarching theme for Hui 2023 was “How to better embrace ethnic voices and evidence in public policy?” This successful event involved participant group discussions for five essential topic streams:

  1. Nothing about us without us,
  2. Ethnic data sovereignty,
  3. Networks and active collaboration, 
  4. Results dissemination and evidence use by practitioners and policymakers, and 
  5. Existing research and evaluation funds and models.

Our August online webinar/workshop provides you with an opportunity to participate in kōrero about these five important topic streams and together explore ideas and opportunities for action. We will use the resulting Hui 2023 discussion group notes for each of these topics as our starting point (links above). We thank the Ministry for Ethnic Communities for providing us with these.
