We warmly invite queer researchers, allies, and those working in areas which support queer communities to join us for the first LGBTTQIA+ Tautoko session of 2026. This session will feature Maia Berryman-Kamp giving a talk on her research - which looks into irahuhua (gender diverse Māori) embodiment practices, focusing on tā moko, and on using Mana Tipua methodologies. Including time for Q&A.

We will then have space for a collective kōrero for all attending to discuss upcoming or recently published research, this year’s goals and mahi for orgs, and our queer communities’ needs - including some updates on Community Research's Queerness in Aotearoa research collection project.

All are welcome. Event is 12-1, Thursday 26 Feb. If you can't make it, Maia's talk will be available after the event on Community Research’s website.

If possible, please consider a donation

Community Research is a not-for-profit organisation and we would love your support to help us continue to champion research by and for communities. If you are able, please consider adding a donation when you register for this webinar. Ngā mihi maioha.
