Join fellow early-career researchers for an evening of connection, learning, and exploration across the Wellington waterfront's cultural institutions. We will meet at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington's Pipitea Campus before taking a short walk along the waterfront to Wellington Museum for a guided ‘Rainbow Tour’ exploring Wellington's queer heritage. The event will conclude at the New Zealand Portrait Gallery, where attendees can enjoy speakers, interactive icebreakers, networking opportunities, and light refreshments.
