Congratulations to our graduates After years of hard work, countless hours in the lecture theatre, tutorial room, lab, and library, you have completed your studies and are graduating from Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand’s globally ranked capital city university. You should be very proud of your achievements.

I am pleased to be able to celebrate with you in person considering the unique circumstances we find ourselves in. Graduation is a time of celebration and reflection—the chance to mark what you have achieved and consider where your accomplishments might lead. We celebrate this milestone with you and acknowledge the hard work and perseverance that have brought you here today.

Today is also an opportunity to recognise the contribution made by families, whānau, and friends to your success. On behalf of the University, we thank them for everything they have done to support you.

Your qualification provides you with a platform to success, in life and in your chosen field. As well as gaining a world-class education, you have developed as a person in ways that may not immediately be obvious, but which will reveal themselves in the years to come. Your ability to learn, to question, to collaborate, and to lead are just as important, if not more so, than the knowledge you have absorbed.

Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington is proud to have played a part in providing graduates who will drive the economy, lead thinking on major environmental and scientific issues, use creativity and innovation to generate new ideas, and enrich our society through the arts. We hope you have been inspired to contribute in your own way to a better world.

8–Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington–9 A historical perspective

Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington’s graduation ceremonies are held at the Michael Fowler Centre and at Te Herenga Waka marae. Graduation at the marae was instigated by Professor Hirini Moko Mead, the University’s founding Professor of Māori Studies. The marae ceremony is an opportunity for graduates and their whānau to acknowledge and celebrate the Māori dimension of their student lives in a Māori setting through the application of tikanga Māori.

Graduation ceremonies combine tikanga Māori and academic tradition that dates back to the twelfth century when the first universities appeared. The words ‘university’ and ‘degree’ are both derived from Latin, the language used by scholars in the Middle Ages. The Latin term universitas meant a guild or union, formed by the ‘masters’ (MAs) who held a licence to teach.

‘Degree’ and ‘graduate’ come from gradus, meaning step. The first step taken by students was admission to a Bachelor degree; the second and final step made them a Master and won them admission to the universitas.

In the old days, the new Master had to deliver an inaugural lecture, take the whole universitas of Masters out to dinner, and preside over disputations for 40 days. Graduating Masters at the University will be relieved to know that this practice was dispensed with some time ago.

The title of Chancellor was originally that of the Bishop’s secretary. The Bishop had the right to grant licences to teach in his diocese, at a time when the Church held a virtual monopoly on learning, but he tended to depute this job to his Chancellor. Later, the Pope assumed the power to grant licences to teach anywhere, not just in specified dioceses, and the Chancellor conferred degrees on his behalf.

During the Reformation in Britain, Henry VIII took over all the powers of the Pope, including that of granting degrees. Consequently, the Chancellor’s robes are not ecclesiastical, but similar to those worn by the Lord Chancellor of England.

The gowns worn by the graduates and academic staff, however, are fashioned after the dress of the medieval clergy, although those of the Middle Ages were fastened at the front; the fashion for wearing the gowns open at the front resulted from a desire to show off the fine clothes underneath. The hood was also a normal medieval garment, the coloured lining being added a little later. Since the 1600s, the colours of the hoods have been strictly controlled, so that a graduate’s hood colour denotes his or her university and degree.

10–Te Herenga Waka Ceremonial robes

The colours of the graduates’ hoods or stoles—ranging from nasturtium to pompadour and peacock green—denote the degree achieved, and are special to Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington.

The official academic dress for graduates attending a ceremony is a gown, hood or stole, and cap. The cap has been defined as a black trencher with a tassel for every degree except Doctor’s degrees. Doctorates wear a John Knox cap.

Those attending a ceremony to receive a diploma or a certificate wear a gown and a Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington stole, not the hood and trencher. However, if they already hold a degree, they wear the garments appropriate for that degree. Graduates may, if they wish, embellish their graduation regalia with garments of honour from their cultural traditions.

The University’s gowns are modelled on those used at the University of Cambridge. The gown for a Bachelor’s degree is the same as for the Cambridge Bachelor of Arts, and those for Master’s and Doctor of Philosophy degrees are the same as for a Cambridge Master of Arts. The gown for other Doctor’s degrees is as for the Cambridge Master of Arts but is made of scarlet silk or cloth.

The hood for every degree is the same as for the Cambridge Master of Arts. The hood for a Bachelor’s degree is lined with coloured silk and bordered with white fur, while the hood for a Bachelor’s degree with Honours is lined with coloured silk and edged with white silk, and a Master’s hood or stole omits the fur. The stole for a Doctor of Philosophy degree is lined with red silk, and the hood for other Doctor’s degrees is made wholly of silk.

Te Kapa Haka o Te Herenga Waka Te tangi pūoro, the opening call, is followed by a series of haka to welcome Te Herenga Waka— Victoria University of Wellington’s graduates into the auditorium and to acknowledge their families.

The opening moments of the graduation ceremony give us time to pause and reflect. The call of the pūtātara and karanga ceremonially call forth our graduates to acknowledge their achievements.

Before the conception of the world, the conception of life, there is nothing ... and from nothing develops darkness.

Only in the womb of darkness can be heard the faint creaking and waning of sound.

Sound is the recognition that there is movement!

Movement is the recognition that there is life!

Victoria University of Wellington–17 Doctoral degree research summaries Nicola Te Arani Mary Ngawati Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Government Māori art, taonga, and design are used extensively in New Zealand’s diplomacy. Together with staff from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, where Māori are underrepresented in senior positions, they form a key part of how New Zealand is represented to the world. Nicola Ngawati’s study explores the symbolism behind this reality through interviews and case studies of the Cook Islands, New Caledonia, and Australia. Nicola’s study finds that various forms of bicultural symbolism are used to represent New Zealand, illustrating the current and future disconnects and challenges for the ministry, including in relation to Māori.

Richard Jonathon Williams Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Government Hundreds of millions of dollars of public money are spent on public sector information and communication technology shared services with expectations of improved customer service and cost reduction. Unfortunately, expected benefits often fail to materialise, with governance identified as a barrier to success. Richard Williams’s research explores governance through practitioner experience, enabling construction of a public sector governance model. This model reflexively explores current academic literature, which tends to be siloed in different disciplines, and practice-grounded critical governance issues. Richard’s findings include a mid-range integrated theory, rich case description, and insights to inform theory and practice. Supervisors: Dr Karl Lofgren and Dr Elizabeth Eppel

Marlini Binte Bakri Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Marketing Acknowledging the popularity of online visual platforms that allow consumers to articulate themselves creatively, Marlini Bakri’s research examines the value of user-generated images (UGI) as visual manifestations of word of mouth. Marlini investigates UGI’s relevance to consumers— specifically, sojourners as skilled visual influencers, and their ability to shape viewer perception and arouse intentions of global tourism markets aimed at visiting friends and relatives (VFR), where studies in VFR tourism neglect research in online communication. Marlini’s research moves the emphasis of word of mouth from textual/verbal to visual forms of communication, and establishes the position of UGI as persuasive artefacts that can be used to stimulate VFR tourism—a valuable tourism segment for crisis or disaster recovery marketing strategies.

Kingsley Tochukwu Ihejirika Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Information Systems Social media has dramatically revolutionised the way people communicate and interact in the twenty-first century—specifically, providing alternative means of interaction to librarians in university libraries. However, despite the attractiveness of social media channels, librarians cannot yet claim to understand how to fully utilise them for effective marketing. Kingsley Ihejirika’s research explores the factors that affect undergraduate student users’ social media engagement with the university library. Kingsley’s research reveals that sustainable social media engagement is management driven. To this end, building on extant frameworks and study data, Kingsley proposes a framework tailored for sustainable library social media marketing management.

18–Te Herenga Waka Avigail Maggeni Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Human Resources and Industrial Relations Avigail Maggeni’s research develops a novel framework for studying leadership and affect in organisations from a Schatzkian practice approach. This framework makes it possible to illuminate the types of normative realities that prevail in organisations, and to investigate the ways in which leadership and affect are involved in the reproduction and modification of these realities. This type of investigation offers critical, holistic, and situated understanding of leadership and the organisations it manifests in. It places the affective human body and its relations with other human and non-human participants in leadership at centre stage.

Sarah Brandt Roth Shank Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Public Policy While Aotearoa New Zealand has emerged as a world leader in restorative justice innovation and application, the justice system is currently facing a crisis of over-incarceration. Sarah Roth Shank’s research uses institutional theory to examine this paradox. It assesses how far restorative justice institutionalisation has progressed, the forces that have facilitated its growth, and the barriers that impede it. It identifies ways in which the institutionalising of restorative principles in policy, law, and practice may have a more far-reaching impact on those the justice system is intending to serve.

Victoria University of Wellington–27 Doctoral degree research summary Elizabeth Wathuti Mathenge Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Accounting Responsible investment is one of the fastest-growing areas of finance in many parts of the world. However, it is not commonly practised in sub-Sahara Africa. Elizabeth Wathuti Mathenge explores the challenges involved in developing responsible investment in the retirement benefits sector of Kenya. Elizabeth’s study shows that a lack of expert knowledge and an under-developed capital market are some of the challenges for responsible investment development in the retirement benefits sector. Elizabeth suggests that developing responsible investment will require a combination of policy development and capacity-building initiatives to educate the actors in the finance sector on responsible investment strategies.

Victoria University of Wellington–35 Doctoral degree research summaries Aniebietabasi Ufot Ackley Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture There is strong evidence poor indoor environmental quality (IEQ: lighting, temperature, acoustics, and ventilation) has a significant impact on students’ learning performance and health in schools. Aniebietabasi Ackley’s study develops a methodological approach for assessing IEQ at an unprecedented scale to triage good and poor IEQ in classrooms in a national school property portfolio. Aniebietabasi’s research provides an analytical and reporting framework to enable architects, building scientists, property managers, and policymakers to monitor, manage, interpret, graph trends in, and visualise a building’s IEQ. This then informs prioritisation of remediation works, design, asset management, investment, and evidence-based policy decisions. Supervisors: Associate Professor Michael Donn and Geoff Thomas

Bi Ying Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science Image classification is a fundamental but challenging task in machine learning and computer vision, with many real-world applications—including self-driving, biological identification, and medicine. Most existing methods have major limitations—for instance, poor interpretability—requiring a lot of training and rich domain expertise. Ying Bi’s research aims to address these limitations by developing a new genetic programming-based approach to automatically learning effective features for image classification. She has developed a number of new algorithms that show promising performance and potentially high interpretability. Supervisors: Professor Mengjie Zhang and Professor Bing Xue

Guiying Huang Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering A major challenge in software-defined networks research is effective controller resource management. Guiying (Victoria) Huang’s research addresses the challenge from architectural and algorithm design aspects. From the architectural perspective, her research proposes a new controller architecture to enable flexible controller resource management. Based on this new architecture, her research develops new evolutionary computation-based algorithms to allocate sufficient controller resources to the suitable network locations, and develops multi-agent reinforcement learning-based algorithms to make the best use of the given controller resources. Extensive evaluations show her approach achieves cutting-edge performance. Supervisors: Dr Aaron Chen and Dr Qiang Fu

Lohit Dev Petikam Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Graphics While modern 3D animated films and games are almost photorealistic, manual artistic editing is still important to meet a director’s aesthetic requirements. In real-time games and augmented reality applications, artists cannot control stylised lighting in every situation. This means that new techniques are needed to preserve art direction in interactive media. Lohit Petikam’s research develops new methods for artists to make stylistic appearance edits that respond and adapt to lighting changes, allowing interactive media to remain faithful to concept artwork and the director’s intent. Supervisors: Dr Taehyun Rhee and Professor Ken Anjyo

36–Te Herenga Waka Sigit Wahyu Prabowo Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering

The current steel-making process from New Zealand ironsand produces high CO2 emissions because it uses coal as a reducing agent. A fluidised bed system allows the use of hydrogen gas to reduce ironsand and, as a result, does not emit CO2. However, a significant obstacle of industrial application of this system is that particles can ‘stick’ at high temperatures. Sigit Prabowo’s research shows that New Zealand ironsand particles do not stick during hydrogen reduction at temperatures up to 1000 degrees Celsius, due to the formation of titanium-bearing oxides at the particle surface. His study presents the operating window for the hydrogen-reduction of ironsand in a fluidised bed system. Supervisors: Dr Chris Bumby, Professor Brian Monaghan, and Dr Raymond Longbottom

Shaun Anthony Michael Rosier Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture The past two decades have seen scientific and objective ways of knowing dominate landscape architectural design practice and theory. Shaun Rosier’s practice-led research examines how this dominance can be challenged by paying attention to encounters with the sublime, which are experiences with the world that disrupt or disturb our being. This design-oriented study does so by developing a series of design and drawing practices that connect, and give expression to, involuntary movements of the body within a landscape. The study uses the Horokiwi Quarry as a speculative case study as a future remediated park landscape. Supervisors: Associate Professor Peter Connolly and Professor Joanna Merwood-Salisbury

Joshua James Scott Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Graphics The creation of realistic virtual landscapes has been a major challenge in computer graphics for more than four decades. Two primary issues in the field of terrain synthesis are the lack of realism and the lack of a clear way to evaluate realism in synthesised terrain. Joshua Scott’s research identifies the flaws of existing data-based synthesis algorithms, provides improvements using methods from the field of physical geography, and presents a new algorithm called ‘terrain-optimisation’ based on texture synthesis techniques. Joshua’s study also discusses the concept of terrain realism and develops a new approach to the experimental evaluation of realism, with the largest experiment conducted to date.

Victoria University of Wellington–45 Doctoral degree research summaries Amy Frances Alder Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Cell and Molecular Bioscience Chronic pain, which affects one in five New Zealanders, is a significant global health concern that decreases quality of life and creates a large socioeconomic burden. Amy Alder’s research investigates how the cell-signalling properties of opioids affect their ability to reduce pain and induce side effects. Using two new compounds with differential signalling profiles, Amy shows that G-protein signalling is responsible for the induction of pain relief, but that this pathway is also responsible for an increased side-effect severity. These findings add to a growing body of literature suggesting development of drugs to selectively activate this pathway is unlikely to provide safer treatments for chronic pain. Supervisors: Dr Bronwyn Kivell and Dr Janet Pitman

Lisa Rachel Denny Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biomedical Science Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease, where the immune system causes destruction of the myelin sheaths that protect nerve axons in the brain and spinal cord, termed demyelination. There is currently no cure for MS, and finding effective treatments to prevent disease progression has been challenging. Lisa Denny’s research explores the mechanisms behind neuroprotective and immunomodulatory effects of nalfurafine, a kappa opioid receptor activator that has recently been suggested to support neurological repair by driving remyelination. Lisa’s results highlight the potential of nalfurafine to promote recovery and remyelination, and its promise for clinical use in MS. Supervisors: Professor Anne La Flamme and Dr Bronwyn Kivell

Mary Natasha Dewhirst Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology Parent–child conversations about past experiences are key to children’s psychological wellbeing. Mary Dewhirst’s research investigates the longitudinal relationships between parent and adolescent conversations about past negative events, and youth anxiety and depression. Mary’s research demonstrates how mothers and adolescents mutually influence how emotions are managed during these conversations, and further shows how interpersonal processes can place a young person at risk of increasing anxiety. Her research has important implications for understanding the ways in which parent–child conversations about the past can shape youth mental health over time and helps to inform clinical interventions for youth anxiety. Supervisors: Professor Karen Salmon and Dr Matt Hammond

Emma Elizabeth Greenbank Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics Eruptions through crater lakes or shallow seawater, known as subaqueous or Surtseyan eruptions, are among the most dangerous in the world. These eruptions produce a phenomenon known as Surtseyan ejecta, which are balls of magma containing a mixture of previously erupted material and water. The large temperature variation between magma and other materials in these ejecta can cause them to explode. Emma Greenbank’s research mathematically models these ejecta to determine in what conditions these dangerous explosions occur. Supervisors: Professor Mark McGuinness and Dr Dimitrios Mitsotakis

46–Te Herenga Waka Sarah Maree Herbert Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ecology and Biodiversity Sarah Herbert’s research evaluates the viability of habitat enhancement for the conservation of New Zealand’s lizards, particularly in areas where lizards are also preyed upon by invasive mammals. In coastal areas of the Wellington region, Sarah found that increasing coverage of rocks and certain types of indigenous vegetation benefited populations of two common lizards. However, most lizard species inhabiting coastal environments were sensitive to mammal presence, even with low to moderate levels of control in operation. Therefore, habitat enhancement is not expected to benefit most New Zealand lizards, nor be capable of restoring lizard communities, unless accompanied by intensive mammal control or eradication. Supervisors: Professor Nicola Nelson and Associate Professor Dr Stephen Hartley

Nicholas Thomas Hitt Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geology The global climate is a result of interactions between the ocean and atmosphere. These dynamics have changed, leading to stronger ocean circulation, marine heatwaves, changing biogeochemistry, and reduced primary production since the early 1900s. Nicholas Hitt researches if these changes are part of a long-term natural cycle or a product of anthropogenic change by reconstructing South Pacific Gyre (SPG) circulation and biogeochemistry using New Zealand black corals. His research shows SPG strength and biogeochemistry have exhibited significant natural variations over the past 3,000 years. He demonstrates the key role a distributed set of deep-sea coral paleoceanographic reconstructions could play in detecting anthropogenic climate change. Supervisors: Dr Dan Sinclair, Dr Helen Neil, and Dr Stewart Fallon

Roselis Ayarit Landaeta Aponte Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry Bile acids are organic compounds present in the bile of mammals. Their role is to regulate metabolism, and as such, they are compounds of interest for the treatment of diabetes, dyslipidemia, and other metabolic diseases. Bile acids work by activating the FXR and TGR5 receptors but, because these have different activity profiles, targeting each receptor selectively is of paramount importance. Roselis Landaeta’s research produces new bile acid analogues to selectively target these receptors in the search for new therapeutic agents to treat metabolic diseases. Supervisors: Dr Benji Compton and Dr Lawrence Harris

Juby Mathew Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biomedical Science The well-defined nature of therapeutic peptide-based cancer vaccines is of major interest to vaccine developers. The addition of adjuvant overcomes its major limitation—lack of immunogenicity. Juby Mathew’s research investigates the combination of a natural killer T-cell agonist and a toll-like receptor ligand as adjuvants to peptide-based cancer vaccines to improve their therapeutic potential. The key highlights of the chemical designs are: covalent conjugation of the vaccine components; controlled release inside the cellular environment; orthogonal coupling strategies; convergence; scalability; and expedient synthesis. Supervisors: Professor Gavin Painter, Dr Regan Anderson, and Professor Ian Hermans

Victoria University of Wellington–47 Jordan Anthony Joel McCone Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry Natural products have a long-reaching impact on human health, with fungal secondary metabolites being particularly rich sources of medicinally active compounds. Jordan McCone’s research explores the chemical synthesis and biological properties of the fungal metabolite (-)-TAN-2483B, which shows promising anticancer and immunomodulatory activity. Diverse chemical analogues are also synthesised and their therapeutic mechanism of action predicted by computational modelling. Jordan’s results inform the future production of new compounds with enhanced immunomodulatory activity for potentially treating various leukaemia and immunological disorders. Supervisors: Associate Professors Joanne Harvey and Paul Teesdale-Spittle; Dr Jack Flanagan (University of Auckland)

Leo William Lauchland Mercer Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Studies Māori land in Te Tairāwhiti often has limitations, and land uses have traditionally been dominated by exotic forestry or pastoral farming—both low-value land uses with significant environmental impacts and economic fragility. Leo Mercer has explored the socio-cultural, environmental, and economic co-benefits Māori landowners associate with existing and alternative land uses. The results highlight a preference for native forests and other diverse land uses such as medicinal cannabis and hemp over the status quo. Leo’s research finds that Māori landowners in Te Tairāwhiti desire a vibrant, multifaceted land use regime exemplified by diversity over homogeneity. Supervisors: Dr Rebecca Kiddle and Associate Professor Ralph Chapman

Silvina Norma Pugliese Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Physics The development of efficient and low-cost photovoltaic cells is key to a more sustainable energy pathway. Research efforts aimed at improving the performance of organic photovoltaic materials have resulted in a continuous growth in efficiency over time. However, further improved efficiency, stability, and cost reduction are required in order for these materials to succeed in the market. Silvina Pugliese’s research contributes to the understanding of the mechanisms of charge photo-current generation in organic layers by using transient absorption spectroscopy to directly measure the fate of the photo-excited species created upon light absorption. In particular, Silvina’s research contributes to the understanding of the dynamical properties of interfacial charge-transfer states at donor:acceptor heterojunctions. Supervisor: Professor Justin Hodgkiss

Alexander Christopher Semprini Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Clinical Research There is limited evidence for the value of complementary and alternative medicines, despite high global use. A major barrier is an accessible, relevant, and affordable research mechanism. Alex Semprini’s study develops a new methodology to undertake clinical trials in a community pharmacy network across New Zealand, exploring the use of kānuka honey for the treatment of herpes simplex labialis, or cold sores, in 952 people recruited from 76 pharmacies. The study shows no difference between the honey and the most common pharmaceutical treatment for cold sores and successfully establishes a new capacity to conduct clinical trials through community pharmacies. To date, the pharmacy network has undertaken four further studies. Supervisors: Professor Richard Beasley and Dr Melanie McConnell

48–Te Herenga Waka Robert James Taylor Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology Witness evidence from line-ups is often used in trials. Robert Taylor’s research examines how multiple unanimous witnesses influence jurors. Participants in his experiments judge a suspect guiltier if two witnesses identify that suspect compared to one witness, but further increases in the number of agreeing witnesses don’t further increase their guilt ratings. Participants give higher guilt ratings if witnesses come forward in multiple groups compared to a single group. Robert’s research shows that the number of witnesses has a limited influence on jurors, but the way witness evidence is presented to jurors can have a greater influence on jurors’ verdicts. Supervisors: Dr Matt Crawford and Dr Gina Grimshaw

Karen Elisabeth Thorn Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Physics Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a highly toxic carcinogen prevalent in our environment. Eumelanin pigment is a photo-stable biopolymer naturally produced in the skin, providing us with a unique photo-protection mechanism against exposure to UV radiation, known as ‘nature’s sunscreen’. The molecule rapidly dissipates 99 percent of incident UV photons as thermal energy on ultra-fast time scales, before damage can occur to the underlying cells. The fundamental nature of eumelanin’s structure and its vibrational energy dissipation mechanism, however, is not yet fully understood. Karen Thorn’s research investigates the application of femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy to eumelanin pigment, revealing insights into this highly efficient UV-absorbing material. Supervisors: Professor Justin Hodgkiss and Dr Baptiste Auguié

Amanda Elizabeth Wallis Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology New Zealand is exposed to many natural hazards, yet rates of individual preparedness remain low. Amanda Wallis’s research examines the role of place attachment—people’s emotional bonds to their places—as a predictor of three different types of natural hazard preparedness: survival, mitigation, and community. Amanda proposes a mental place visualisation intervention technique to increase preparedness behaviours and evaluates its effectiveness using a mixed-methods approach. Based on her findings, Amanda recommends policymakers and practitioners integrate place attachment into their disaster risk-reduction strategies. Supervisors: Professor Ronald Fischer and Dr Wokje Abrahamse

Victoria University of Wellington–49 Christopher Kenneth Woolley Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Conservation Biology Cities are designed and managed for human activities and, as a result, often have strong negative impacts on wildlife. Christopher Woolley’s research examines the effect of cities on endemic New Zealand lizards and explores opportunities for lizard conservation in urban environments. Christopher characterises the urban lizard faunas of six New Zealand cities and finds that species diversity in the regions of cities has declined by 60 percent since human settlement. His ecological surveys in these cities find that, although some of the surviving species are common and widespread, others may be declining. Christopher’s research will inform management of urban lizards. Supervisors: Professor Nicola Nelson, Associate Professor Stephen Hartley, and Dr Danielle Shanahan

Tao Xu Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry Pateamine A is a potent anticancer natural product isolated from a marine sponge, yet the mechanism of its biological activities requires further exploration. Tao Xu’s research focuses on the scalable and tractable synthesis of structurally simplified analogues of pateamine A. It examines the scope and efficiency of an innovative gold-catalysed reaction in the synthesis and demonstrates that this method is compatible with a wide variety of functional groups. His results are informative for the synthesis of new generation analogues of pateamine A, which helps to further identify the crucial chemical structures for effective binding to its protein targets.

Victoria University of Wellington–59 Doctoral degree research summaries

The Dean’s List is a formal record and public acknowledgement of those doctoral graduates whose theses have been judged by their examiners to be of exceptional quality and whose work makes an outstanding contribution to their field of research.

Ryan James Brake Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Composition Music Ryan Brake’s Reflections (In Mosaic) is a long-form work written for a modern jazz orchestra that explores complex formal structures achieved through the use of interrelated musical themes, programmatic themes, and an integrative approach to composed and improvised material. Ryan’s research features a comprehensive musical and topical analysis of four case studies that examine the features of long-form works through discussions on the formal features of the symphonic jazz genre, the role of improvisation, the use of programmatic themes, and structural designs. Supervisors: Dr David Lisik and Dr Dave Wilson

Claire Alexandra Baylis Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Creative Writing There is growing recognition of the potential difficulties with jury trials for sexual violence. Claire Baylis’s novel Dice is narrated by each of the jurors on a trial involving four teenage boys whose ‘dice game’ leads to multiple sexual offence charges. The novel explores how jurors’ private worlds impact their responses and the effect of the trial on their lives as they deal with contentious issues of date rape, intoxication, consent, and social media misuse. Claire’s critical component analyses how real jurors’ narratives in eight acquaintance sexual offence trials in the Trans-Tasman Jury Study were potentially influenced by misconceptions about rape. Supervisors: Professor Damien Wilkins and Professor Yvette Tinsley

Samuel Mark Crawley Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science The world has been slow to act on climate change. To help unravel the reasons for this slow political response, Sam Crawley’s research investigates public opinion on climate change in the United Kingdom, European Union, and New Zealand. He finds that a strong majority of the population believe climate change is a serious problem requiring government action. However, most people believe climate change is less salient than issues such as the economy or healthcare. Sam’s findings suggest it is more important to focus on salience—rather than climate denial—to understand the public’s role in the inadequate climate response. Supervisors: Professor Hilde Coffé and Associate Professor Ralph Chapman

Amy Johanna Giles-Mitson Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics The ubiquity of sexual assault and harassment has been illuminated on a global scale in the wake of #MeToo and other similar movements, foregrounding the need for strategies to combat and reduce sexually harmful behaviour. As in other areas of society, there is a critical need for innovative processes that look to address the issue on university campuses. Amy Giles-Mitson’s research examines the use of sustained restorative dialogue to address sexual harm in the community and identify practical steps that aim to reduce it. Amy’s research suggests the practice has considerable potential as part of a wider prevention strategy. Supervisors: Professor Miriam Meyerhoff and Professor Chris Marshall

60–Te Herenga Waka Dana Eugenia Guisasola Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Spanish Traditional ideas of nationhood are rooted in a pre-globalised world where there are clear boundaries between who is considered to pertain to that community and who is not. Dana Guisasola’s research analyses the representation of the Catalan nation in three novels by Catalan writer Juan Marsé. She suggests the writer shows a three-stage evolution of a new concept of nationhood that can be approached from a postmodern perspective. The central issue addressed in the selected novels is the inclusion of the figure of the migrant. Supervisors: Professor Sarah Leggott and Dr Nicola Gilmour

Feona Jessica Haakman Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Criminology In 2009, the Whanganui District Council prohibited the display of gang insignia within specified areas of the Whanganui district. Feona Haakman’s research examines the ways in which the news media contributed to the construction of gang identity from 2004 to 2013. Feona’s study supports the idea there was a ‘moral panic’ concerning gangs in Whanganui in which the legal response was out of proportion to the actual threat posed by gangs during this period, raising important questions about how the media can shape responses to criminal justice issues. Supervisors: Dr Russil Durrant and Dr Michael Roguski

Liu Xi Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music Xi Liu’s research examines the life and music of Israeli composer Boris Pigovat, with emphasis on the works he has composed featuring the viola. It presents the first detailed account of Pigovat’s life from childhood to internationally respected composer, and examines the background and analytical aspects of Pigovat’s Holocaust Requiem and Sonata for Viola and Piano. Xi’s research also includes video recordings of Pigovat and all his works featuring the viola. The central component of Xi’s research is the production of the filmLacrimosa Dies Illa, a documentary about the Holocaust Requiem. Supervisors: Professor Donald Maurice, Dr Martin Riseley, and Associate Professor Gillian Ansell

Meera Gopurapillil Muralidharan Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History The procurement of spices influenced European trade in Asia in early modern history. Meera Muralidharan’s research examines the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century European spice trade in South India. By focusing on the pepper-producing region of Malabar (now Kerala), the research examines the Dutch East India Company’s knowledge-making activities there. Two kinds of knowledge production are explored in the context—botanical and cartographical. Meera explains how knowledge of tropical plants from Malabar found its way to the botanical gardens in Amsterdam, and how European cartographical knowledge mapped the territories in Malabar. With a knowledge-making focus, the research expands our understanding of commerce, colonialism, and natural knowledge. Supervisors: Professor Sekhar Bandyopadhyay and Associate Professor James Beattie

Victoria University of Wellington–61 Mariam Sarah Ramazan Mahalli

Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Spanish José María Arguedas was one of the most notable Peruvian writers of the twentieth century. Throughout his career, he was driven by the desire to defend and diffuse the Quechua culture of Peru’s Southern Andean region and to convince his readers of its extraordinary value for the future of Peru. While most studies focus on his use of Quechua orality in his narrative fiction, Sarah Ramazan Mahalli’s research examines the way Arguedas incorporates Andean visual culture into his texts to construct counter-hegemonic visual poetics. Sarah’s research explores the connections between visuality and world view in Quechua culture, offering a new appreciation of how Andean identity is manifested in Arguedas’s writing. Supervisors: Dr Miguel Arnedo-Gómez and Dr Carolina Miranda

Tran Thi Ngoc Diep Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Linguistics Among the four language skills, listening is arguably the most difficult skill to assess because of its unobservable and stressful nature. Diep Tran’s research investigates the extent to which a listening test engages its targeted listening abilities. The research examines the thinking processes underlying the candidates’ answers to each test item. It explains how a particular response format shapes the test-takers’ thinking processes and induces irrelevant factors in a listening test. It also provides evidence of the ways in which test-takers’ performance is affected by factors such as speech rate or the number of speakers in the auditory input.

Victoria University of Wellington–73 Doctoral degree research summaries William Paul Stanford Abbiss Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Media Studies Will Stanford Abbiss’s project analyses period drama productions in British television of the 2010s, expanding Claire Monk’s term of ‘post-heritage’ into a critical framework. It utilises six case studies: Upstairs Downstairs, Dancing on the Edge, The Crown, The Living and the Dead, Dickensian, and Parade’s End. These case studies establish a cycle of progressive representations of the past in recent television drama, which operate against earlier scholars’ assumptions of ‘heritage’ nostalgia. The three parts of Will’s study assess televisual style, form, and genre respectively, allowing the case studies’ heritage and post-heritage elements to be associated with the theoretical concepts of television drama.

Alexander Michael David Beattie Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Media Studies In Silicon Valley, the world’s most famous site of technological innovation, technologists are rejecting their own inventions and disconnecting from ‘addictive’ social media. Not only are they disconnecting from their own inventions, they are also inventing internet jammers, luxury feature phones, productivity apps, and other new technology-based ways of disconnecting from the internet. Alex Beattie’s research examines how disconnecting from the internet can be manufactured with technology and the political and social ramifications of resisting social media. Alex assesses disconnection as a form of self-care and draws attention to who can, or cannot, undertake such disconnection. Supervisors: Dr Michael Daubs, Dr Cherie Lacey, and Dr Angi Buettner

Tegan Elizabeth Brown Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education Relational bullying is a significant and widespread issue experienced by many young people in New Zealand, yet there is limited research that considers how parents respond when their children are either victims or bullies. Tegan Brown’s research shows that parents respond to different forms of relational bullying in different ways, with some forms of relational bullying viewed as less serious than others. Parents also remain deeply impacted by their own childhood bullying experiences. Findings from the research illustrate the need for a cultural shift in the attitudes towards bullying that permeate the New Zealand context. Supervisors: Professor Vanessa Green, Dr Chris Bowden, and Professor Paul Jose

Rana M. M. Daoud Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education Using digital devices in classrooms has become common practice worldwide. The dominant research is focused on the outcomes of using devices, but much is still unknown about the use itself. Rana Daoud’s research adopts the complexity theory to explore using devices in classroom learning. Rana’s study provides a model that identifies seven patterns of use, the factors related to nested complex systems shaping the uses, and how the uses contribute to students’ qualifications, socialisation, and subjectification. Rana’s study shows that complexity thinking sheds light on blind spots in the educational process and acknowledges the complexity and uncertainty in educational contexts. Supervisors: Dr Louise Starkey and Dr Hiria McRae

74–Te Herenga Waka Jeyapriya Foster Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Media Studies Jeya Foster’s study surveys the relationship between visual landscapes and ‘haunting’ in the work of British-Tamil artist M.I.A. It situates the artist’s output in relation to its geopolitical contexts and probes how M.I.A transforms memories of the Sri Lankan Civil War (1983–2009) into haunting pop-cultural expressions. Pointing to an invisible yet fundamental part of M.I.A’s work, Jeya’s thesis advances our understanding of haunting as a form of political critique and memory work. Supervisors: Associate Professor Jo Smith and Dr Nicola Hyland

Rebekah Anne Galbraith Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Literature Rebekah Galbraith’s research establishes and explores a new concept in critical theory known as ‘the anonymous mode’. Developed from historical ideas around anonymity, gender, and authorship, the anonymous mode is a highly original, conceptually rich contribution to the field of literary criticism and gender and sexuality studies. Rebekah’s theoretical reading of anonymity offers new ways of examining and understanding the central role of self-authorisation in gendered identity. Rebekah’s mixed-mode research demonstrates the versatility of anonymity through her own creative text, The Albatross. A multimodal, experimental text, intersecting at the levels of criticism and autotheory, art and aesthetics, non-fiction and autobiography,The Albatross illustrates the creative value of the anonymous mode. Supervisors: Dr Anita Brady and Professor Damien Wilkins

Ho Trung Hau Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education Viet Nam is a major source of international students for Aotearoa New Zealand, but there is little research on this cohort. Ho Hau’s research fills this gap by focusing on the experiences of Vietnamese students studying for a Master’s degree in New Zealand and provides insight into the role accommodation and living arrangements play in their experiences. He examines how students’ choices to engage with host country communities vary in academic and everyday settings and how being short-term students affects their cross-cultural experiences. His research culminates in developing a new model for investigating short-term international students’ experiences. Supervisors: Dr Stephanie Doyle and Professor Joanna Kidman

Catherine Maree Dorothy Joule Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Literature Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels are widely popular, and their satire engages significantly with current concerns about how we define ourselves and our morality. Catherine Joule’s research investigates how Pratchett uses stereotypes to build the antagonists of the six Discworld novels that have a group of witches as the protagonists. Catherine’s findings indicate that these stereotypes not only build the humour of the novels, they also help define and complicate the ethics within them. Catherine’s research breaks new ground in the growing field of Pratchett studies and supports the humour theorists who argue that satire works to recode people’s assumptions. Supervisors: Dr Geoff Miles and Professor Harry Ricketts

Victoria University of Wellington–75 Kerryn Lisa Palmer Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theatre Kerryn Palmer’s research examines devised intergenerational collaborative theatre with, and for, young people in Aotearoa New Zealand. Kerryn investigates current practices and standards by which excellence in theatre for, by, and with young people can be recognised. Utilising an arts research methodology, Kerryn’s research identifies practical strategies for engaging a young audience and explores an intergenerational, collaborative devising theatre model. The research centres on the creation of two original plays for young people, and examines how theatre practitioners can work with them to increase their sense of agency and empowerment, and place them at the centre of the work. Supervisors: Dr Megan Evans and Dr Nicola Hyland

Karyn Saunders Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education Ako is a key concept for Māori emphasised in current national education policy. Karyn Saunders gathers perspectives of junior secondary mathematics students and their whānau to develop frameworks to guide Pākehā teachers, like herself, towards authentic enactment of ako. For successful learning partnerships between teacher, student, and whānau stakeholders, mathematics teaching needs to strongly reflect ako through: acknowledging, valuing, and representing stakeholders’ prior and current knowledge (mathematical and cultural); tracking and sharing student progress; co-constructing learning design; and holding high expectations. Karyn’s research is being used to examine and improve issues of social justice in the education of Māori students. Supervisors: Associate Professor Robin Averill and Dr Hiria McRae

Tran Thi Thuy Lien Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education Tran Thi Thuy Lien’s study investigates how English communication is used by Vietnamese lecturers of English who are teaching non-English-major students at two public colleges in Viet Nam. The study shows the balance between Vietnamese and English in lecturers’ classroom talk, and the main types and basic functions of oral English communication strategies the lecturers used. The study also presents the perceptions of both lecturers and students relating to different aspects of classroom communication. This research enables construction of a new communication strategy taxonomy, the functions and characteristics of which are different from previously established typologies. Supervisors: Dr Jae Major and Dr Jenny Ritchie

Tran Ngoc Minh Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education Minh Tran’s research investigates perceptions of plagiarism among Vietnamese- and New Zealand-educated postgraduate students at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, informed by cultural capital theory, social cognitive theory of moral thought and action, and theory of student self-formation. Minh’s research offers an alternative perspective to deficit models of plagiarism by international students, contributing rich qualitative evidence of multiple influences on student perceptions. Minh’s findings have practical implications that help university staff engage with students’ needs and expectations in ways that respect their diverse social and educational backgrounds, generating meaningful and productive outcomes across student groups that can enhance equity. Supervisors: Associate Professor Stephen Marshall and Dr Linda Hogg

76–Te Herenga Waka Vo Doan Tho Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education Tho Vo’s research examines the uses of digital technologies in an English-medium instruction (EMI) context in Vietnamese higher education. It explores how teachers and students use digital technologies and how they perceive the development of students’ learning through digital technologies in the EMI environment. Tho’s study shows that teachers and students deploy a range of digital technologies for different purposes in their teaching and learning practices to accommodate the challenges in EMI courses. This sheds light on the multifaceted nature of EMI programmes in the Vietnamese context, and reflects international trends of changing pedagogy in response to the changing global context.

God Defend New Zealand Led by Samuel McKeever, accompanied by Ben Kennedy

E Ihowā Atua, God of Nations at Thy feet,

O ngā iwi mātou rā, In the bonds of love we meet,

Āta whakarongona, Hear our voices we entreat,

Me aroha noa. God defend our free land.

Kia hua ko te pai, Guard Pacific’s triple star,

Kia tau tō atawhai, From the shafts of strife and war,

Manaakitia mai, Make her praises heard afar,

Aotearoa. God defend New Zealand.

Gaudeamus Led by Samuel McKeever, accompanied by Ben Kennedy

Gaudeamus igitur Let us be joyful therefore

Juvenes dum sumus; While we are young;

Gaudeamus igitur After youth that brings joy,

Juvenes dum sumus. After old age that brings grief,

Post jucundam juventutem, The grave will take us.

Post molestam senectutem,

Nos habebit humus,

Nos habebit humus.

Vivat Academia, Long live the University,

Vivant professores; Long live the professors,

Vivat Academia, Long live every member,

Vivant professores. Long live every part,

Vivat membrum quodlibet, May they ever flourish.

Vivant membra quaelibet,

Semper sint in flore,

Victoria University of Wellington–91 Doctoral degree research summary Sara Melissa Belcher Admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Māori Studies Mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge) ecological indicators such as mauri and wairua can be described using mainstream ecological metrics and data. The framework He Kete Hauora Taiao defines cross-epistemological relationships so monitoring better suits specific whenua, iwi, reporting, and management requirements. The framework may build kaupapa and tikanga Māori into resource management, deepening our combined knowledge and improving ecological outcomes. Sara Belcher’s He Kete Hauora Taiao research enabled her to build a physical tool that models ecological outcomes based on mātauranga Māori. The tool is useful in research for New Zealand’s Biological Heritage National Science Challenge. Supervisors: Dr Ocean Mercier and Dr Julie Deslippe
