We also celebrate James Stiefvater , one of our PhD students, who has received a Postgraduate Development Field Research Award for $8,000 towards his research costs in Papua New Guinea, funded by DevNet and MFAT.
James is interested in the connections and disconnections of complex and dynamic Indigenous identities, state development, and initiatives for political autonomy. These are especially salient topics in his research sites in Papua New Guinea: the province of East New Britain and the Autonomous Region of Bougainville.
James and his family will be arriving in New Zealand in March, and he will be carrying out fieldwork towards the end of the year.
Congratulations wish you all the best
Congratulations to Isabella and Louis on both securing Postgraduate Development Field Research Awards for $6,000 towards their field research costs for their Master's in International Development. These awards are funded by MFAT and administered by DevNet.
Issie will explore whether the innovative climate financing approach that is 'Green Tourism Bonds' has a place in Samoa, and what it could mean for development. Louisโs research will examine ways to mitigate the adverse impacts of climate change on Samoa's fishing industry, learning how local knowledge can contribute to practical solutions.
Ka mau te wehi team!
Good congratulations to you both and good afternoon to you all from south pacific ocean solomon islands
Congrats team!
Would you like to receive a Master's scholarship and have your fees and field work costs covered for 2023?! Then check out this scholarship to do the Master of International Development at Institute of Development Studies at Massey, including a research project focusing on tourism and resilience in Fiji or Vanuatu. Applications close on 15 January, and we'd particularly like to hear from students of Pasifika origins who are NZ residents or citizens.
Time is short, so please share this with your networks!
