Aoife Finn’s visit to New Zealand

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa (TwoA) is delighted to announce it will sponsor a visit to New Zealand by Irish Māori language PhD student Aoife Finn. Aoife’s te reo Māori exploits on Twitter brought her to the attention of media both in Aotearoa and Ireland last month when it was revealed she was in the second year of her PhD at Trinity College, Dublin - studying Māori syntax. She has been studying te reo Māori for six years – but she has never visited Aotearoa nor has she ever met a Māori in person.
