OPSITARA Research
This month we celebrate the launch of our health discourse blog, which is co-edited by Associate Professors Jean Ross and Lesley Gill. The blog will be exploring the physical, mental, social and spiritual dimensions of health and wellbeing (Te Whare Tapa Whā) within the framework of the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Please check out the blog and take the opportunity to engage by adding comments, sharing content, and subscribing to updates. Do let the editors know if you'd like to write a post too. We look forward to your contributions to the discussion.
We hope you also enjoy reading this month's research stories from our staff and students.
