Kahurangi is a PhD candidate and Research Fellow in Te Kura Tātai Hauora, the School of Health at Te Herenga Waka Victoria University Wellington. She is a feminist, Māori, mother of 3 very active rangatahi. Her life is full with the logistics of family, friends, work, school and sport. With a passion for food, justice and democracy, she spends her days thinking and writing (and sometimes worrying) about the health and wellbeing of all, and trying to do her bit to make the world a better place (for her children, and their children, āke, ake, ake).

Her PhD research focuses on Ka Ora Ka Ako, the free and healthy school lunch programme.
