Join Dr Brittain online to discover how Indigenous and Māori psychologies are enriching psychology, and why we can look to Te Tiriti to imagine transforming psychology for flourishing communities, in the second webinar of the This Thinking Life series.

Dr Elle Brittain (Ngāti Kahungunu ki Te Wairoa, Ngāti Rakaipaaka) is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychology at Massey and a practising clinical psychologist. Her research and teaching sit within Indigenous and Māori psychologies, with a strong focus on Māori wellbeing, wairua and spirituality, equity in mental health and culturally centred psychological practice.
