<p>A fifth paper in <em>Te P&#363;take - Whakauae Raro Occasional Paper Series</em> has recently been published by Whakauae Research. Te P&#363;take offers an online space to explore aspirations, challenges and important issues arising for M&#257;ori, by M&#257;ori. Launched in 2020, &nbsp;<em>Te P&#363;take</em> aims to provide a forum for original research, review, commentary, and reflective essays on issues of relevance to wh&#257;nau, hap&#363; and Iwi M&#257;ori.</p>

<p><em>Kaupapa M&#257;ori and Appreciative Inquiry: A Review of the Literature</em> explores the compatibility of Appreciative Inquiry (AI) with a Kaupapa M&#257;ori research approach. Co-authored by Dr Heather Gifford, Gill Potaka-Osborne and Lynley Cvitanovic, this literature review was carried out to inform a wider &nbsp;investigation around the co-creation of primary care that works for wh&#257;nau M&#257;ori. The <em>He Waka Eke Noa</em> study is drawing on the potential of Appreciative Inquiry to further amplify and enrich findings that can usefully contribute to transformative change for wh&#257;nau in the primary health care space. <em>Kaupapa M&#257;ori and Appreciative Inquiry: A Review of the Literature</em> highlights the opportunities presented by Appreciative Inquiry. It identifies gaps in the existing literature, both in Aotearoa New Zealand and internationally, and explores how AI may usefully be applied in research to further the interests of M&#257;ori. <a href="https://www.whakauae.co.nz/publications/occasional-papers/15/">The paper can be accessed here</a>.</p>
