Public Lecture: Educating for Māori Health Equity: POSTPONED

Please join us for our Inaugural Professorial Lecture titled: "Educating for Māori Health Equity"

Inaugural Professorial Lectures were established in 1996 with the broad aim of promoting and celebrating the academic reputation of professorial staff. The series makes an important contribution to the University's role within the wider community by providing a public forum for leading research and enhancing Otago's statutory role as critic and conscience of society.

This event is open to the public and bookings are not required.
