Dr Moeata Keil (she/her) is a Senior Lecturer in Sociology, School of Social Sciences at Waipapa Taumata Rau/University of Auckland. Moeata is a Samoan intersectional feminist scholar and researcher. Her research calls attention to the importance of theorising from the margins. Her current research explores how Pacific mothers, fathers and extended family members navigate family life following separation, including family court systems and child support obligations. Her research calls attention to the importance of understanding family within broader networks of relationships than the couple and parent-child dyad, and calls for the state, law and policy to better recognise culturally-informed family norms and practices. She is also working on a project that examines Samoan women’s reproductive health, with a focus on how Pacific cultural factors shape Samoan women’s understanding of reproductive justice and aspirations for family life.
