The team chatted informally with Priyanca whose background is well-aligned with the work of the Centre. She is a former international student and worked with migrant peoples prior to becoming an MP, after completing a Masters at Victoria University of Wellington.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the discussion, Priyanca asked what members of the Global Migrations group would like to see happen if we were in government. This was an amazing opportunity to share our wishlists.<\/p>\n<p>We greatly appreciated Priyanca&#8217;s genuine interest in our research and perspectives on policy. As our co-director Dr Vivienne Anderson commented, &#8216;I personally found it heartening to find someone in government is so interested in input from researchers.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_438\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/globalmigration\/files\/2019\/06\/GM-team-with-Priyanca-June-2019.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-438\" class=\"wp-image-438 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/globalmigration\/files\/2019\/06\/GM-team-with-Priyanca-June-2019-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/globalmigration\/files\/2019\/06\/GM-team-with-Priyanca-June-2019-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/globalmigration\/files\/2019\/06\/GM-team-with-Priyanca-June-2019-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/globalmigration\/files\/2019\/06\/GM-team-with-Priyanca-June-2019-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/globalmigration\/files\/2019\/06\/GM-team-with-Priyanca-June-2019-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-438\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Priyanca Radhakrishnan with team members Rajan Ghosh, Vivienne Anderson, Salmah Kassim, Arlene Ozanne, Tiffany Cone, and Neil Vallelly.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday 24 June 2019, members of the Global Migrations group were delighted to meet with Labour List MP Priyanca Radhakrishnan, who is based in Maungakiekie, Auckland.
