Shiloh Groot

Shiloh smlNō Ngāti Uenukukōpako, nō Ngāti Pikiao a Shiloh Groot. Shiloh is an interdisciplinary social scientist who works in the domains of Indigenous worldviews and communities, resilience, urban poverty and health. Their primary area of research for the past decade has been homelessness, the sharp edge of poverty in Aotearoa New Zealand. Māori are over represented in the homelessness population, as such; their research reflects interwoven themes of Indigeneity, culture, resilience and resistance, and socio-economic exclusion. Shiloh is a long-standing member and former co-chair to the Tangata Whenua Caucus of the New Zealand Coalition to End Homelessness where they inform the development of national policy and service provisions to address homelessness. Shiloh is a senior lecturer in Social Psychology at the University of Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand.
