Kai & Korero Session
Wednesday 25th June 12-1pm
Free Webinar presented by Zane Mather
Zane Mather will share some reflections on working as tangata tiriti in the rangahau and arotake (Research and evaluation) spaces – the joys and the challenges of working in partnership. He will talk about how he thinks about his role and positioning, comfort (and intentional discomfort) across contexts, as well as providing a safe space for a kōrero about experiences others have had in navigating this space.
Zane is Principal Advisor Rangahau Māori in Te Tari Aroktake Mātauranga at the Education Review Office. He has worked across ERO, Te Puni Kōkiri and Treasury – largely with a focus on system-level evaluation in education settings. His interest in working in the rangahau and arotake space was sparked by doing some mahi on the teaching of te reo Māori in English-medium schools, which kickstarted an ongoing reo journey, and a passionate interest in the revitalisation of te reo Māori. His academic background includes Philosophy, Linguistics and Religious Studies, as well as (in a belated nod to employability) Social Sector Research Evaluation.

A webinar in which Zach will discuss the latest iteration of social investment and the anticipated role of evaluation. He will talk about how social investment is envisaged as an approach to targeting social interventions and improving local and regional commissioning. This is to better serve, and achieve better outcomes for, individuals, families, and whānau living complex lives. He will then talk about how data and evidence will support social investment, focusing on the types of evaluative evidence that we will need.
Zachary Penman is a Principal Economist at the Social Investment Agency who specialises in quantitative social science methodologies and evaluation. He has interests in measurement and causality and a takes a methodologically and evidentially pluralist approach to evaluation. He is particularly interested in culture-specific and inter-epistemic challenges in these areas. For example, Zach collaborated with Tūtū Kākā Consultants (Finley Ngarangi Johnson) to develop Te Pikitia a te Whānau, a kaupapa Māori psychometric tool to measure whānau wellbeing, for E Tū Whānau.
Zach has been involved with ANZEA since becoming a public servant in 2020 and previously presented on the topic of social investment at the 2024 ANZEA conference.
