DoctorAshalyna Noa

Since 2025, I've been co-coordinating the four Pacific Studies courses at the university alongside Dr Robert Nicole: PACS111 Pacific Peoples and Societies; PACS211 The Transnational Pacific; PACS221 Pacific Sustainability and Climate Resilience; and PACS311 Pacific Cultures and Digital Innovation.  In 2026, we are also co-coordinating POLS442 Policy and Governance in the Pacific and New Zealand.

I've also had the privilege of co-coordinating ENGR600 Maori and Pacific Engagement and Consultation alongside Mel Tainui since 2024.

Throughout the year, I also deliver guest lectures across various courses and departments at the university.
