Spice it up! Be Inclusive With Professor Edwina Pio

Spice it up! Be inclusive with Professor Edwina Pio, University Director of Diversity, AUT.

With the volatile mix of ethnic patterns in our society, both past and current, how do we create a future all New Zealanders can dream of? Professor Edwina Pio examines how historically we have often shunned stereotypes, yet the future demands compassion and inclusiveness. This talk will look at how we must work to give back for the privilege of living in Aotearoa.
