Some aspects are traced to the Middle Ages while others relate to developments in modern medicine. Chris- tine was formerly Head of Science at WITT. She is Convenor of the NZ Microbiological Society Education Group and is particularly interested in scientific journalism. Where to publish by Edward Smith As a historical prologue, some of the publishing characteristics and habits of the great early atomic physicists are recounted. This is followed by a consideration of the pub- lishing options for academics. Edward is Director of Research, ICIARE at WITT. He is a mechanical engineer interested in industrial and applied research. Patriarchs, paddocks and the personal - poems by Lesley Pitt These poems were written as part of Lesley’s Masters thesis entitled – “Patriarchs, paddocks and the personal”. She is a Tutor for the Diploma in Social Work and her academic interests include women’s issues, storytelling/life stories and post struc- tural ideology as a way of making meaning. Image details of a Dragon by Donna Willard-Moore The Dragon project began as a technical exploration of new chemistry in sculptural concrete. The work now sits at the New Plymouth MacDonalds Toy Museum. Donna has both an MA and an MFA and her research interests include exhibiting painting, sculpture and installations; plus an academic interest in integral theory. She exhibits in New Zealand and regularly in the United States. Holistic influences on teaching by Rod Bentham This article examines a number of external and internal factors that influence teach- ing and learning within a modern tertiary education institution. Rod leads the broad- casting division at WITT and has a particular interest in the philosophy of education. He is currently enrolled in a Graduate Diploma in Adult Learning and Teaching at Massey University. Hybrid cultures: what, where and how about us? by Ian Clothier This paper asks the question whether New Zealand should be considered a hybrid culture, which is a contrast to the dominant cultural context of New Zealand as bi- cultural. Ian is an artist-writer and has an MA (First Class Honours) from AUT. His re- search foci are on cultural hybridity and nolinearity, and he has had nine international research credits in the past three years. 21st century plagiarism by Megan Dixon Plagiarism is not new and information technology makes it a temptation for today’s students. Plagiarism is described here by a model made up of five critical dimensions. Megan is a Learning Skills Tutor and has a special interest in helping international students. She also likes teaching mathematics. She has worked in China for two years, at a new academic institute near Beijing. TE IARERE WAVELENGTH Issue 1 WINTER 2006 EDITORIAL P 5 Edward Smith Recently, I was attended to by a young assistant in a baker’s shop. She spoke good English, but with a marked East European accent that signaled she was probably a visit- ing overseas student. Whilst waiting for my bread to cool, it having just come out of the oven, I asked her where she came from and why she was in New Zealand. She was from Hungary and wanted to study accountancy at university. In Hungary, at 21 she was past it. Hungary’s rigorous university system called on entry to university straight after leaving school, i.e. when you were 17 or 18 years old. If you missed out at that stage then there was little hope for reassessment. Thus, she saw a second chance here in New Zealand. With my walnut and wholemeal loaf under my arm I walked back home reflecting on the changes that had gone on in the New Zealand education system – some good, some bad. Certainly many restrictions have been removed so that anyone, of any age, from any country can study. In a sense, the only restriction that remains - other than money - is that the necessary academic pre-requisites are met, which is fair to both the student and the staff who will be teaching them. Driven by the New Zealand Government, the tertiary education system in New Zealand has changed markedly over the past two decades. Students have much more choice and flexibility in terms of what, where, when and how they will study. Arguably students are better off because of this; yet more choice means more com- petition – both whilst studying and after the qualifications have been gained. It also means more competition between institutes to attract students to their courses. In particular, institutes have been forced to become financially accountable and to better meet the needs of today’s society, industry and business. Universities are traditionally places of innovation and new ideas, but surprisingly they responded slowly to the government’s ef- forts to instill a new approach. Only now, some 20 years after it was first muted that change had to come have the universities adopted a more corporate approach. The reality is that tertiary education in New Zealand is a business and each sector must be run as such. It is now the turn of the polytechnics to adapt and because of their regional and vocational training emphasis, and closeness to the marketplace, changes ought to proceed faster and more smoothly than was the case with the universities. Will they? TE IARERE WAVELENGTH Issue 1 WINTER 2006 ISSN 1177 3197 P 6 This journal, Te Iarere Wavelength is part of the change going on at the Western Institute of Technology at Taranaki (WITT). WITT is the polytechnic serving the Taranaki region. The region’s com- mercial centre is New Plymouth and geographically from there it extends to the South as far as Waverley, to the East as far as Tau- marunui and to the North East as far as Te Kuiti. To the North and West there is sea, the source for much of the region’s prosperity – it is a paradise for the surfer and yachtsman, and where most of New Zealand’s oil and gas reserves have been found and exploit- ed. On land, the abundant rainfall and volcanic soils make the region a rich agriculture revenue earner, with the milk processing plant at Hawera being the biggest in the Southern hemisphere. So the region is rich and diverse, and WITT, in serving it for the past 30 years has had to pass on this richness and diversity. The purpose of Te Iarere Wavelength is to give staff the opportunity to publish and market themselves, their academic interests and their institute, and contribute to the richness and diversity in the region’s vocational, academic and scholarly community. Just before Christmas we put out a call for contributions from staff and received more than enough to fill this first edition. In choosing what to include we have tried to offer diversity – for- mal research articles, scholarly articles, points of view articles, poems, artwork and photographs. In particular we have tried to seek a range of seriousness in the articles; especially we did not want everything to be staid, formal and heavy reading. At the same time we didn’t see any call for chatty frivolous contributions and we did not receive any. We hope that this diversity in pres- entation and subject area will set the tone for future editions. Originally we perceived that articles would be around 2500 words but soon saw this as too restrictive. In this edition the longest article runs to almost 4800 words; the shortest is one of Lesley Pitt’s poems at 31 words. At the risk of being misquoted, we’ve decided that size doesn’t matter. What we’ve tried to do is put forward a selection of articles, works and images which we hope everyone will enjoy. We seek to market WITT as a thriving di- verse tertiary institute of education where vocational training, artistic and scholarly work, degree level teaching, research, and innovative and original work progress in harmony.

I even suppose that you had a shower – put on clean clothes, may have used deodorant. I suspect that before you left the house you put the milk back in the fridge – maybe even did some dishes, wiped down the bench. Then, when you got to work, did you put your yoghurt in the fridge? Seventy years ago, we may have brushed our teeth but it would not have been with “tartar control, breath freshener, pearly white toothpaste”, we probably didn’t have a daily shower, nor put on clean clothes everyday and no one used deodorant.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. The role of a museum (Te Papa) in the rejuvenation of taonga puoro A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Museum Studies At Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand Awhina Tamarapa 2015 Abstract This thesis examines the role of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa in the rejuvenation of taonga puoro (Māori musical instruments). The purpose of this study is to examine the Museum’s relationship with taonga puoro practitioners. This thesis documents the foundation of the Haumanu taonga puoro revitalisation group and their relationship with Te Papa. Therefore I have selected instrumental figures – Dr. Richard Nunns and Brian Flintoff, to elucidate their insight on this topic. The late Hirini Melbourne remains a constant and treasured presence throughout the process for Nunns and Flintoff. However, the focus of the thesis is to identify what has Te Papa done and can do better, to help facilitate the rejuvenation of taonga puoro, based on the years of developing a relationship with the Haumanu group. Furthermore, within this context, I examine my own practice as a Māori Curator at Te Papa. The central question to this study is the role of Te Papa, in terms of its relevance to one particular sector, the Māori cultural practitioners and revivalists. The challenge is: how much is Te Papa willing to risk, in relaxing control - to be relevant to the needs of this community? Four key research questions are explored: what has Te Papa done to help facilitate the rejuvenation and maintenance of puoro, what could Te Papa be doing more of to nurture the rejuvenation and maintenance of puoro; what are the key factors that support an achievement of these objectives: and, what are the challenges for the future.

    Te Aho Tapu uru tapurua o e te muka e tui nei a muri, a mua The sacred strand that joins the past and present muka strands together Gloria Taituha A thesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2021 Te Ipukarea Research Institute 1 Abstract This is an exegesis with a shared collaborative creative component with two other weaving exponents, Jacqueline McRae-Tarei and Rose Te Ratana which is reflective of a community of shared practice. This shared practice and subsequent collaborative creative component will be based on the overarching theme of the written component, a synthesis of philosophy, tikanga rangahau (rules, methods), transfer of knowledge and commitment to the survival of ngā mahi a te whare pora (ancient house of weaving) in a contemporary context. The sole authored component and original contribution to knowledge for this project is the focus on the period of 1860 – 1970, which will be referred to as Te Huringa. The design of this exegesis will be informed by Kaupapa Māori Ideology and Indigenous Methodologies. Te Huringa, described as the period from first contact with Pākehā settlers up until the Māori Renaissance in the 1970s. After the signing of the Treaty, the settler population grew to outnumber Māori. British traditions and culture became dominant, and there was an expectation that Māori adopt Pākehā culture (Hayward, 2012, p.1). This period, also defined, as the period of mass colonisation, saw the erosion of traditional Māori society including the status of raranga as a revered art form.

What makes it different from mainstream New Zealand art is that our Māori art forms can come together to create whānau, hapū, iwi and group events. These rely on individual artists who can help to establish style, identity and standards to give expression to the collective needs. Te Ātinga polices have helped artists to focus on their art forms and their needs. This encourages innovation and initiatives for cultural exploration that can lead into the use of new materials, technologies and inter-cultural exchanges that modernise and challenge the status quo. It also does simple support processes like helping an artist buy materials to do their mahi. That Te Ātinga still works for its clients, after 25 years, is a measure of its achievements. It is a credit to its leaders and committee members who have retained its purpose, credibility and integrity.

    ART + OBJECT Important Photographs and Contemporary Art August 10th “…people say Maori didn’t have a written language — it’s not that at all. They did. They did it with their arts.”1 Cliff Whiting, Te Wehenga o Rangi rāua ko Papa, 1975 Collection of the National Library of New Zealand. Welcome to A+O’s winter 2017 Important Photographs and Contemporary Art catalogue. This catalogue features the finest selection of photography we have offered for some years. Alongside our leading New Zealand practitioners we are pleased to be able to offer some seldom seen works by leading international photographers, not the least of which is a superb Ansel Adams image dating to the late 1950s. In mid-July we learnt of the very sad news of the passing of Cliff Whiting (1936 – 2017). Born in Te Kaha on the East Coast and affiliated to the Te Whanau a Apanui iwi, Cliff Whiting was the creator of some of the most spectacular large-scale, carved in-situ installations in New Zealand. Perhaps his greatest work is the carved house Te Hono ki Hawaiki which is the centrepiece of Rongomaraeroa, the Marae of Te Papa Tongarewa. It is without doubt one of the most viewed artworks in New Zealand. Whiting emerged in the 1950s as part of that extraordinary generation of Maori artists who came to prominence as part of the Tovey scheme under the auspices of the Department of Education. Other artist teachers in this group include Ralph Hotere, Para Matchitt, Muru Walters, John Bevan Ford and Sandy Adsett. These artists and their students went on to rewrite New Zealand art history and to bring the unique Maori visual ART + arts language to a much wider New Zealand and, via ground-breaking exhibitions such as Headlands, international audience.

Yet as he noted of his subject itself, the Mediterranean was not even a single sea, but rather “a complex of seas, and the seas are broken up by islands, a tempest of peninsulas ringed by insistent coastlines.”1 To establish the project, he knew, “the question of boundaries is the first to be encountered.” Defining the “Pacific” is an equally daunting challenge.
