Makarena Diana Dudley, also known as Margaret Dudley,[1] is a New Zealand clinical psychologist, neuropsychologist and academic, specialising in neuropsychology, dementia and Māori health psychology research. She is currently one of the co-directors of the clinical psychology programme at the University of Auckland.[2][3] In 2016, Dudley became the first permanent Māori clinical psychology lecturer employed at the University of Auckland. Dudley's iwi include Te Rarawa, Te Aupōuri and Ngāti Kahu.[4]
Biography
Dudley was one of ten children growing up in central Auckland, attending Blockhouse Bay Intermediate and Lynfield College, leaving at 15.[4] In 1970 Dudley joined the Royal New Zealand Air Force, being promoted to sergeant at 18.[4] In 1980, Dudley wed and moved to Australia, having a child with her partner.[4] By 1985 she and her partner had divorced, and Dudley raised her child solo while working as a courier driver and cleaner.[4] In 1990, Dudley returned to New Zealand, studying at the University of Auckland, funding her studies through Te Rūnanga o Te Rarawa. By 1996 she had graduated with a post-graduate diploma in clinical psychology.[4]
After graduating, Dudley worked as a clinical psychologist in Auckland and Northland for 15 years. In 2008, she was awarded a fellowship to complete a doctorate in neuropsychology at the University of Waikato investigating the efficacy of Attention Process Training during stroke recovery, which began as a part of the Stroke Attention Rehabilitation Trial (START), which she competed in 2011.[5][4] After completing her doctorate, Dudley was employed by the Auckland University of Technology, where she researched neuropsychology.[6] In 2016, Dudley became the first permanent Māori clinical psychology lecturer employed at the University of Auckland.[4]
In 2017, Dudley was named by Health Research Council of New Zealand as the principal investigator of a team to investigate misdiagnosis of Māori with dementia.[7] By 2020, Dudley was still only one of four Māori neuropsychologists in New Zealand.[8] In 2020, Dudley was awarded a fellowship by Alzheimers New Zealand, in order to further research on the impacts of dementia.[9] As a part of this project, a smartphone app was released to help families identify early signs of mate wareware (dementia), while following Tikanga Māori.[10]
