Julia Slark
Stroke nurse researcher who led Auckland's School of Nursing until mid 2026, stepping aside to champion Maori leadership and refocus on research. Her work strengthens the role of nurses in stroke prevention and recovery and builds equitable clinical academic pathways, co-designed with Maori health scholars and hospital partners across New Zealand.
Susan Watson
Corporate law scholar who leads two Auckland faculties, serving as Dean of Business and Economics and interim Dean of Law. Her research on the theory of the corporation examines how Big Tech platforms have accumulated near governmental power and argues for structural regulation, informing international debates on platform governance and corporate accountability.
Warwick Bagg
Clinical professor of medicine and Dean of Auckland's Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, which includes New Zealand's top ranked nursing school. His research spans diabetes care and the health workforce, including national studies showing how poorly the student pipeline mirrors society, evidence that underpins equity focused admission schemes for Maori and Pacific students.
