Rebuilding a Research, Science, & Innovation system that is just, inclusive and kind

As members of the research, science, and innovation system, it is our collective responsibility to call out practices & policies that we identify as unjust, non-inclusive and unkind. There are many groups putting laudable time and effort into responses to Te Ara Paerangi / Future Pathways (Green Paper) that aspire to change the way we do research, science, and innovation in Aotearoa. In addition to the scholarship being shared here (e.g., A strong and resilient research system is built by valuing people), we are grateful for recent initiatives led by exceptional teams of early career researchers (e.g., Simpson et al. 2022 , Nissen et al. 2020), and a growing literature (e.g., Wehi et al., 2014; Kidman, 2019; Wehi et al., 2019; McAllister et al., 2020; Naepi et al., 2020; Walker et al., 2020, Brower & James, 2021; McAllister et al., 2022). We look forward to seeing these and others’ contributions (including those yet to come) shape a new research, science, and innovatin system that is just, inclusive and kind.
