Triumphant tides: The rise of Pacific midwifery research in Aotearoa New Zealand

Abstract

As we present the 61st issue of the College Journal, which is in its 36th year, we are excited to be actively showcasing greater diversity in the research shared. This commitment enables us to amplify minority voices and introduce vital new perspectives. Ultimately, this serves to strengthen the entire profession, helping us evolve and provide increasingly culturally safe care to the whānau and communities we serve. One of these key communities is Pacific peoples, and in this issue of the Journal, we are pleased to share research on Pasifika perspectives of mentoring in Aotearoa (Otukolo et al., 2025).
