Re-imagining equity: now and in the future

The 2017 EPHEA Conference was hosted in Queensland by Griffith University on Monday 20 November to Thursday 23 November, 2017 and held at QUT Gardens Point.

​

The theme for EPHEA is Re-imagining equity: now and in the future. It's 30 years since EPHEA began and this is EPHEA's 14th conference. It is a good time to reflect and consider where equity is now and where it will be in the future.

​

The conference showcased the beautiful Brisbane River making the most of the river city's bustling city educational and tourist precincts and great weather.

Ngā reo mō te tika: Voices for Equity

The 2011 EPHEA conference was held in Auckland. In planning the conference the organisers were guided by kaupapa Māori philosophy and process, particularly in their commitment to working with consensus decision-making.

Based on feedback from the nearly 150 attendees this guiding principle helped make EOPHEA 2011 a resounding success. Speakers and audience members alike praised the central role that Māori tikanga (protocol) played during the proceedings.
