About Pasifikology
Pasifikology is a village of Pasifika psychologists, graduates, academics, and students. Our purpose is to promote, inform, educate and nurture the practice of psychology for Pasifika people. This includes growing the Pacific psychologist and academic workforce, sharing knowledge and information, and ensuring that psychology is relevant for Pacific people in New Zealand.
Our vision is to be the heart that networks, supports, promotes and grows psychology for Pasifika, in every way, shape and form.
What we are looking for
Pasifikology is seeking two Pasifika students in New Zealand who are studying post-graduate psychology to join the Pasifikology executive team as student advisors. Ideally, we are seeking one student in the North Island and one in the South Island.
We are seeking students who are dedicated to enhancing the capabilities of Pasifika students studying psychology. They should understand the support these students need, and be able to offer insights on how Pasifikology can meet those needs. We are looking for student advisors who possess strong leadership qualities, have a vibrant student voice, and are actively engaged in networks of Pasifika psychology students.
