Higher education is a key driver in shaping cultural, social and economic well-being for any country or market. In both good and challenging economic times, the requirement for a forward thinking education sector is paramount. This Auckland conference will bring together key stakeholders in the higher education sector.
The theme of the forum is realising the value of official statistics, both in the sense of the awareness of that value, and the fulfilment of the potential of that value. The event will feature mix of keynotes speakers, panel discussions, and concurrent sessions.
The forum, held at Te Papa Museum, Wellington, will focus on understanding and tackling health and social inequities. Engaging with contemporary theories of social complexity and the local context, it is intended to provoke dialogue and debate on best practice for investigating and addressing complex social issues. The three main speakers, (Professor Mason Durie, Professor David Byrne, Professor Nancy Krieger), will be followed by a New Zealand-based panel discussing local experiences of investigation and intervention.
