Research activity per year
In 2020 I completed my PhD at RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia. Titled The White Māori: an exploration of identity and belonging this was a creative practice exploration of my adoption and Ngāi Tahu (Māori) birth ancestors through film and embroidery. For this research I was the recipient of the Vice-Chancellor's Scholarship. My research interests lie in autothnography, adoption scholarship, identity and belonging, and I explore these through film, writing, and textiles.
