Raising the Bar: Becoming More Pacific By The Hour

Raising the Bar is back for a third round! The University of Auckland is proud to once again host this unique event in which our academics give free public lectures in pubs and bars.

Join Damon Salesa for Becoming More Pacific By The Hour.

Pacific people and communities have become an outstanding source of innovation and leadership in New Zealand. They have charted a new future for our country in ways most New Zealanders have yet to appreciate.

As New Zealand rapidly becomes more Pacific, these changes have begun to shift from the edges of New Zealand to its centres.

What would it mean for New Zealand to recognise and embrace its Pacific talent and finally act like a Pacific nation? Damon says we need to adapt to a future that has already happened.

Join his passionate discussion where he will illustrate how New Zealand’s future is increasingly a Pacific one, across economic, social, political, cultural and creative dimensions.
