DESCRIPTION:Dr Georgia Carson (Ngāti Whakaue\, Pākehā) is a postdoctora
 l research fellow and Tautotoro Māori engagement advisor at the Malaghan 
 Institute of Medical Research. She received her cell and molecular ioscien
 ce PhD from Te Herenga Waka – Victoria University of Wellington. Her cur
 rent role assists the Malaghan Institute to collaborate with Māori\, the 
 native people of Aotearoa (New Zealand)\, more effectively\, to ensure the
 ir perspectives and needs are integrated into research initiatives. Alongs
 ide her work\, Georgia volunteers advocating for science communication\, f
 air science policy\, and early career researchers.\n\nIn Aotearoa (New Zea
 land)\, like many other countries\, there is an increasing recognition of 
 the significance of equity in research. Studies have shown that equitable 
 research improves accessibility\, quality\, and  impact. However\, in Aote
 aroa\, a unique aspect is the consideration of the indigenous people\, Mā
 ori\, in research endeavours. The Malaghan Institute of Medical Research\,
  a biomedical immunology institute located in Wellington\, the capital of 
 Aotearoa\, has tasked Dr Georgia Carson to address this issue. This semina
 r aims to shed light on the global motivations behind the push for greater
  equity in science\, the research cosystem in Aotearoa with respect to Mā
 ori\, and Georgia’s efforts to drive cultural change at the Malaghan Ins
 titute. These efforts include up-skilling staff\, fostering stronger netwo
 rks in Te Ao Māori (the Māori world)\, and assessing researchers' projec
 t proposals through a Māori lens. This seminar will contribute to the par
 tnership between the Babraham Institute and the Malaghan Institute.\n
