Signed: Date: \-it-'t,(;l8 Signed CEO: 4 5 An open letter to the NZ Government urging immediate action on climate change. We the undersigned, representing diverse academic disciplines, call on the government to take robust and emergency action in response to the deepening ecological crisis. The science is clear, the facts are indisputable, and it is unacceptable to us that future generations in Aotearoa and globally should have to bear the terrifying consequences of climate breakdown. Infinite economic growth on a planet with finite resources is not viable. And yet successive governments have promoted free-market principles which demand rampant consumerism and endless economic growth, thus allowing greenhouse gas emissions to rise. If we continue on our current path, the future for our species is disastrous. The recent special report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is unequivocal. The world’s leading climate scientists warn that we have only 12 years to halve global emissions and get on track to avoid warming of more than 1.5C and catastrophic environmental breakdown. They have advocated urgent and unprecedented global action. As Debra Roberts, co-chair of the IPCC working group says: “this is the moment and we must act now”. The message could not be clearer. New Zealand has a history of taking courageous political initiatives which have had global influence. We can, and must, do it again with bold and urgent action on climate. New Zealand could lead the world by immediately developing a data-informed plan for rapid decarbonisation of the economy. We demand that the government meets its duty to protect its citizens from harm and to secure the future for generations to come. The views expressed here are those of the signatories and not their organisations. Dr Niki Harre, Assoc.

  • Understanding New Zealand Cultural Identities

Cultural identity is the software of large human groups – it is what makes them self­aware groups. It is not simply a matter of shared artistic culture, high brow or low, but of shared language, customs, habits, values and practices, and of shared identifiers, icons, and symbols. These things are not necessarily superior to those of other cultures, or even unique; the point is that they are shared within the group and thought to be distinctive. Nationhood A country’s most obvious form of cultural identity is its sense of being a country, its ‘nationalism’. This concept has recently had a bad press, to some extent deservedly so. The old nationalist idea that pasts and futures are primarily to be understood in national terms, and that nations have room for only one culture, should be rejected.

  • The Best of New Zealand's Book Designs Come Under Tight Scrutiny
    MEDIA RELEASE – Monday 11 June 2018 The best of New Zealand’s book designs come under tight scrutiny but the shortlist has been announced It appears it’s not just the cover a book is judged on as the judges announce the finalists in the 2018 PANZ Book Design Awards. The weight of stock, the binding and the smell of the entries all came under close scrutiny from the judging panel. ‘The judges all did their fair share of lifting, sniffing, flipping and pondering the multifaceted design decisions,’ says the convening judge, David Coventon. ‘From paper stocks to spines and binding, print finish, typographic tendencies and idiosyncrasies, we were impressed by the high-quality outcomes.’ From some 110 entries, the judges have whittled out a finalist list of 33 books across eight categories: Penguin Random House New Zealand Award for Best Illustrated Book Aberhart Starts Here by Lara Strongman with Laurence Aberhart (Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū), designed by Peter Bray, Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū The Domain by Gavin Hipkins (Victoria University Press), designed by Philip Kelly the merrier by Miranda Parkes, Sharon Dell, Robyn Notman, Sophie Bannan, Andrea Bell (Hocken Collections, Uare Taoka o Hākena, University of Otago), designed by Daniel Blackball Alexander New China Eyewitness: Roger Duff, Rewi Alley and the art of museum diplomacy edited by James Beattie and Richard Bullen (Canterbury University Press), designed by Aaron Beehre Strangers Arrive by Leonard Bell (Auckland University Press), cover design by

No one has so effectively and lucidly crossed over between the two disciplines in New Zealand scholarship. Her interpretation of New Zealand’s past has had a wide and receptive audience and her now extensive body of work has been immensely important role in helping to normalise being M?ori in a non-M?ori world. Beginning as an anthropologist with a passing interest in history, she has produced a series of ground- breaking books explaining this world to non-M?ori and M?ori audiences. Her study of hui (ritualised forms of M?ori meeting and discussion) extended from her doctoral thesis and built on her relationship with a remarkable couple, Amiria and Eruera Stirling.[1] She then facilitated autobiographies of both Amiria and Eruera.[2] Through the 1980s most of her focus was on M?ori epistemologies. Then a dramatic change in direction. In 1991 she produced Two Worlds: First Meetings Between M?ori and Europeans, 1642–1772, where she largely followed J.C. Beaglehole on his journey following James Cook on his three voyages to New Zealand, with Dutch and the French thrown in.
