(2017), Australian Geographer. Abstract This article situates queer mobility within wider historical geographies of trans- Tasman flows of goods, people and ideas. Using case studies of women’s and men’s experiences during the early twentieth century and the twenty-first century, it shows that same-sex desire is a constituent part of these flows and, conversely, Antipodean mobility has fostered particular forms of desire, sexual identity, and queer community and politics. Particular landscapes, rural and urban, in both New Zealand and Australia, have shaped queer desire in a range of diverging and converging ways. Shifting political, legal and social landscapes across New Zealand and Australia have wrought changes in trans-Tasman travel over time. This investigation into the circuits of queer trans-Tasman mobility both underscores and urges wider examinations of the significance of trans-Tasman crossings in queer lives, both historically and in contemporary society. Key words: New Zealand; Australia; trans-Tasman mobility; queer travel; LGBT; queer politics 1 Queer Trans-Tasman Mobility, Then and Now Circuits, sexuality and space Australia and New Zealand have a long-established inter-relationship, denoted as ‘trans-Tasman relations’.

  • Are Universities Capable of Organizational Change?
    Change, technology and higher education: Are universities capable of organizational change? CHANGE, TECHNOLOGY AND HIGHER EDUCATION: ARE UNIVERSITIES CAPABLE OF ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE? Stephen Marshall University Teaching Development Centre Victoria University of Wellington ABSTRACT Technology and change are so closely related that the use of the word innovation seems synonymous with technology in many contexts, including that of higher education. This paper contends that university culture and existing capability constrain such innovation and to a large extent determine the nature and extent of organizational change. In the absence of strong leadership, technologies are simply used as vehicles to enable changes that are already intended or which reinforce the current identity. These contentions are supported by evidence from e-learning benchmarking activities carried out over the past five years in universities in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. KEYWORDS organizational change; e-learning maturity model I. INTRODUCTION Educational technology is a field based on change. [1, p. 933] Investment in technology systems by universities is driven by the expectation that increased use of technology will improve the quality and flexibility of learning [2-7]. This investment has been supported by the widespread adoption of Learning Management Systems and the computerization of key administrative functions [8, 9], and the maintenance of an effective technology infrastructure remains a key strategic focus for university leaders [10, 11]. However, while information technology systems have become mainstream, and even strategically irrelevant for many activities [12, 13], changes in the experience of learning and teaching enabled by technology are less apparent. As educational technologists we share a common belief that technology can significantly improve the experience of learners and teachers.

  • Discursive Constructions of Second Generation Immigrant Identity and Belonging Amongst Young Adults of New Zealand Descent in Sydney, Australia
    Beyond 'insiders on the outside': Discursive constructions of second generation immigrant identity and belonging amongst young adults of New Zealand descent in Sydney, Australia Ranmalie Priyanthie Jayasinha A thesis in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Public Health and Community Medicine Faculty of Medicine UNSW Australia March 2015 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Jayasinha First name: Bellanavidanalage Other name/s: Ranmalie Priyanthie Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Public Health and Community Medicine Faculty: Medicine Title: Beyond 'insiders on the outside': Discursive constructions of second generation immigrant identity and belonging amongst young adults of New Zealand descent in Sydney, Australia Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Studies of immigrant experience have tended to privilege a first generation immigrant-centred framework, including in research on second generation immigrant identity. This has led to the construction of this group as 'insiders on the outside', struggling to navigate cultural divides between family, community and host society. In challenging this conceptualisation I employed a poststructuralist approach, informed by intersectionality and Discourse theories, to explore the discursive constructions of second generation immigrant identity and belonging amongst young adults of New Zealand descent in Sydney, Australia. First, I examined how the subject position of the 'New Zealand immigrant' has been discursively articulated in relation to the nation-state Australia utilising a genealogical analysis of texts and a discourse analysis of media articles related to trans-Tasman migration and settlement. Second, drawing on in-depth interviews, I explored the lived experiences of participants born in Australia of New Zealand descent as they negotiated their identity and belonging within the confines of this discursive terrain.

The annual event opens January 1, with films playing simultaneously January 1-4 at multiple venues in Waimea (Kahilu Theatre, HPA Gates, Parker Theatre) and showings at The Fairmont Orchid, Hawai‘i January 1-4. On January 5, the festival moves to Four Seasons Resort Hualalai. Ocean Film brings over 60 extraordinary films to the big screen this year, most of which are world, U.S., Hawai‘i or Big Island premieres, with many filmmakers in attendance to answer questions following the showing of each film. The format of this dynamic festival immerses participants in a greater understanding and awareness of the ocean and island culture through exceptional films, talks, exhibits and activities. Films fall into the basic categories of ocean experience (such as surfing and paddling); ocean environment—including things we do on land that impact the sea; and island culture. Inspirational films and films that shed light on who we are, or give pause for thought, form part of the mix. In honor of Hokule‘a’s current Worldwide Voyage (WWV), Malama Honua, the festival showcases a number of films and discussions around the voyage.
