Ringa Rangahau Research Symposium 2025

Tēnā koutou e ngā ringa rangahau, ngā kai rangahau o Ngāti Kahungunu, o te rohe rānei, tēnā tātau katoa.

Nau mai, haere mai – join us for the Ringa Rangahau Research Symposium 2025!

This is our third symposium celebrating Māori research and researchers from Te Matau-a-Māui | Hawke’s Bay, across the motu, and abroad.

While we focus on strengthening Māori research capacity and capability in our rohe, we warmly welcome attendees interested in kaupapa Māori research and collaborative partnerships across Aotearoa and beyond.

Dates: 9–11 July 2025
Venue: Te Aho a Māui | Eastern Institute of Technology
Location: Te Ara a Tāwhaki, Te Ūranga Waka, Ahuriri

This symposium is a unique opportunity to:

• Share your research at home, on your own whenua
• Connect and collaborate with others in our rohe and beyond
• Support the growth of Ngāti Kahungunu Māori research capacity and capability

“Nō Ngāti Kahungunu, mō Ngāti Kahungunu” – koirā te karanga.

From our experienced mātanga to the pī ka rere just beginning their research journey, we all have something to contribute. Let’s come together, strengthen our networks, and inspire the next generation of ringa rangahau o Ngāti Kahungunu.

Registrations are now closed.
The full symposium programme will be available closer to the event.

This is a peer-reviewed and quality-assured symposium. We welcome research from all fields.

The Auaka Tumutumu Symposium, held in August 2023, was a significant follow-up to the Mārama Project’s inaugural symposium in 2021. This four-day event focused on advancing the understanding and practices surrounding the preservation of Māori taonga (treasures), particularly within the archives of Ngāti Kahungunu.
The Mārama: Manuscripts with Memory Symposium, held in 2021, marked the beginning of the Mārama Project’s efforts to bring together experts, archivists, and whānau to explore the rich histories contained within Māori manuscript collections.
On 20th November 2024, whānau, hapū, iwi, and professionals from the cultural and heritage sectors came together for a wānanga focused on resilience, recovery, and preparation following Cyclone Gabrielle.
