Relevant Research - August 2023

Earlier this year we were pleased to welcome Associate Professor Martin Andrew to the role of Series Editor for our journal series Scope: Contemporary Research Topics. Otago Polytechnic Press publishes four to six issues in this series of peer-reviewed journals every year, on Art & Design, Health & Wellbeing, Learning & Teaching, and Work-based Learning. All issues are freely available to be read online at thescopes.org.

We hope you enjoy reading about research by Martin Andrew and other kaimahi (staff) and ākonga (learners) in our region of Te Pūkenga in this month's issue of Relevant Research.
