MAI ki Waikato

MAI ki Waikato seeks to develop and nurture a diverse community of Māori and Indigenous scholars across all disciplines. MAI ki Waikato offers a stimulating and nurturing environment for both enrolled and prospective Māori And Indigenous doctoral students from any tertiary institution. We seek to provide vital opportunities for students to network with like-minded people across disciplines.

 •    Writing retreats and workshops
 •    Inspirational speakers
 •    Mentors and MAI alumni
