In February 2024 Jumbunna researchers were invited to join with leading global Indigenous scholars from Aotearoa/ New Zealand and Hawaii for ‘The construction of the Indigenous Incarcerated Body: Māori & Indigenous Populations and the School to Prison Pipeline’ symposium at Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi, Aotearoa/ New Zealand. The research event was facilitated by Professor Leonie Pihama and Tū Tama Wāhine o Taranaki, Professor Jenny Lee-Morgan and Pūrangakura, and independent researcher Dr Margie Hohepa.
