Barbara-Luhia Graham
Barbara-Luhia Graham is a teaching fellow and oversees the Moana-Oceania Academic Initiative (MAI) programme at the Auckland Law School.
I have loved my time working as a Susuga Faiako (Professional Teaching Fellow) in the Folau Team. I really enjoyed and benefited from being mentored by the senior members in our team and this has encouraged me to pursue a range of opportunities in teaching, research and service at the Auckland Law School.
On joining Auckland Law School at the start of 2022, Barbara-Luhia Graham’s career took a new direction, which allowed her to pursue her long-held passions for teaching, scholarship, and service to the Moana Oceania community.
After graduating from Te Herenga Waka – Victoria University of Wellington, she began practising as a solicitor at Meredith Connell. Together with her Law degree – in which, among other achievements, she topped her class in Māori Customary Law – Barbara-Luhia completed a Bachelor of Arts in Pacific Studies and Sāmoan Studies.
As Susuga Faiako, Barbara-Luhia is responsible for overseeing the Moana-Oceania Academic Initiative (MAI) programme. She has lectured in the Auckland Law School’s popular course, Race and the Law (alongside Senior Lecturer Dylan Asafo) and has tutored on the extensive first-year course, Law and Society.
