When New Zealand media want to understand what’s going on in the growth and make up of our populations and the communities that comprise it, Professor Paul Spoonley is often the first person to talk to.
A sociologist and demographer, Paul is Distinguished Professor Emeritus and Honorary Research Associate at Te Kura Pukenga Tangata / College of Humanities and Social Sciences, Massey University. He is also the NZ representative on an 18 country collaboration, under the prestigious Max Planck Institute, looking at the impacts of immigration on diversity and social cohesion.
We talk to Paul about the changing face of Tāmaki Makaurau and Aotearoa, how change is inevitable and how to better manage it.
