Are you interested in learning about iTaukei resettlement in Fiji and the relationality of migration?
Read the policy brief by Ruveni Tuimavana, PhD Candidate at Massey University. Ruveni was awarded the DevNet New Zealand Postgraduate Field Research Award, which supported his research in Fiji.
Ruveni shares:
“The fieldwork phase of the study was possible through the generous funding of DevNet and MFAT. Travelling to the three rural sites on the island of Vanua Levu was not easy, but the funding enabled me to visit all three village sites during the five months I was in Fiji. I am also grateful for the support of my supervisors, Prof Glenn Banks and Prof John Overton, for their guidance and support.”
