Ko Ashlea Gillon tōku ingoa.
I'm a Kaupapa Māori trans-disciplinary researcher and a doctoral candidate at The University of Auckland. I'm undertaking a PhD in Te Wānanga o Waipapa and the School of Psychology, exploring Indigenous women’s body sovereignty within multiple systems of oppression (racism, sexism and fatism). I also work as a researcher on a number of research projects broadly related to Māori and Pasifika Student Success, Indigenous educational pedagogy, Indigenous studies and Indigenous psychology.
