Dr Te Kani Kingi
Health specialist appointed to Māori leadership role at Massey
28 May 2013
Associate Professor Te Kani Kingi (Ngāti Pukeko, Ngāti Awa) has been appointed to the newly created role Director Māori at Massey University.
Assistant Vice Chancellor (Māori and Pasifika) Selwyn Katene says the position has been established to provide academic and cultural leadership. “Dr Kingi will focus on Māori development and building capacity for the University to be able cater to the needs of Māori,” Dr Katene says. "His extensive research background and history with the University made him a prime candidate for the position and we’re really proud to have him aboard.”
Dr Kingi, 44, is a specialist in mental health. He was raised by his grandparents at Poroporo, near Whakatane, and went to St Stephen's School. He joined Massey 19 years ago as a research assistant after graduating from Waikato University with a Bachelor of Social Sciences and a Master of Social Sciences with honours. He completed his doctorate at Massey with a thesis entitled Hua oranga: best health outcomes for Māori, which looked into the disparity between Māori and non-Māori in mental health. His work is recognised internationally as ground breaking.
From a young age he knew he wanted to make a difference to the lives of Māori. “I really wanted to engage a rewarding and dynamic career that contributed to Maori,” he says. “My first job out of university was here at Massey University, and while my roles have changed significantly over the years, I guess you could say that I’m still in my first job.”
For the past six years he has headed Te Mata o te Tau, the University's Academy for Māori Research and Scholarship. He says he is excited about the appointment. "It’s a new role, with new challenges; it also brings significant opportunities for Massey University to research, to teach, to supervise students in really innovative ways. I’d like to create an environment that allows students to flourish and grow, similar to what I experienced here at Massey.”
Dr Kingi sits on several national and international boards, was recently appointed to the Glenn Inquiry on child abuse and domestic violence, and is chair of the New Zealand Mental Health Commission.
