Conference Programme Kia Ora and Welcome to the Fifth Social Movements, Resistance, and Social Change Conference: Activating Collectivity: Aroha and Power Conference Programme Kia ora and welcome to the fifth Social Movements, Resistance, and Social Change Conference: Activating Collectivity: Aroha and Power. We welcome you to join us and one another in creating waves of change, joining existing waves of change, and collectively pushing these waves of change out into the world. We are all here because we are passionate about the future of our people, our society, and our communities. By coming together and activating our collective aroha and power we can be the wave-riders and change-makers of the world. In this booklet you will find the programme for all four days of the conference, as well as key information to make your experience smoother, such as steps for connecting to the wifi, some small pieces of information about filming and photography taking place, and our health and safety information. Please familiarise yourself with the content as much as possible to prepare for the conference. We hope you have a great time engaging with the conference content and that the sessions offered by our amazing contributors stimulate the waves of change inside you.

We are eager to capture moments of collectivity, aroha and power to reflect back on and remember the experience that we have all had at this conference. There will be volunteers floating around that will be attempting to capture beautiful moments without interfering in what is going on. We understand that not everyone is comfortable with appearing on camera for a multitude of reasons, whether that be film or photographs, and wish for everyone to be as comfortable as possible. We have opted to supply small identifying stickers that are located at the Registration Desk which can be added to your lanyard or name tag so that out volunteers can easily identify if you would not like to be photographed or filmed. Please do make sure that you feel safe and comfortable, and if at any point you require another sticker feel free to collect one from the registration desk, and if you think you may have been photographed or filmed by our volunteers accidentally do not hesitate to approach them and ask for the content to be deleted. In Case of an Emergency In the event of an emergency, please follow all instructions, warn others around you, be aware of what is happening around you, and check Victoria University of Wellington’s Facebook page for updates. In an emergency leave the building through an emergency exit route—these routes are identified by green and white exit signage. Smoke and fire control doors must not be kept open by methods other than specifically installed electronic hold open devices which are designed to release on a fire alarm activation. Do not use lifts in the event of an emergency or fire alarm. Use the stairs. All University buildings have building and floor wardens who are trained in evacuating people in an emergency. In an emergency, listen to the wardens—they will tell you what you need to do and where you need to go. Floor wardens wear bright yellow vests and building wardens wear bright orange vests. You can find more information for an emergency response here. Our Guiding Values and Wellbeing Policy The guiding values of SMRSC2020 are: - Te Tiriti honouring - Generosity of spirit + respect for diverse identities - Respect for whenua / place - Nurturing relational space - Mana-enhancing knowledge sharing - Holistic accessibility This conference aims to bring together Aotearoa’s sharp minds and active contributors to social and political movements in this country. We believe that incredible work can be done with so many passionate people together in one space. No attendee comes alone, as we all bring with us our tūpuna (ancestors), whānau (family), kaitiaki (guides), kaiako (teachers), tauira (students) and many more. Each of us are in relationship to each other, both through these vast layers of connection, and simply by sharing the same physical space together. We ask attendees (and ourselves) to be mindful and active in respecting what each participant brings, nurturing the relational space between each other, as well as between us and the whenua (land) and taiao (natural world). We ask attendees (and ourselves) to live into the notion of ‘aroha mai, aroha atu’ (receiving love, giving love outwards) which creates balance and reciprocity. When we act collectively in these ways, it cultivates and nourishes our shared mauri (life force, essence). When we take care of the mauri, the mauri is able to take care of us, and contributes to a positive conference experience. Still, there will likely be disagreements. There might be behaviour that affects your ability or willingness to participate. There might be abusive or harassing behaviour. We would like to create a non-violent space. But the reality is that violence happens in many different ways, all of the time. Our experience is that noticing and responding to problems early can stop them from growing. We encourage you to check in with each other and raise concerns as they arise. He Ara Mataora and what you can do if you have a concern We are inspired by He Ara Mataora, which is an online toolkit to stop violence. Here is their understanding of what violence is. The website encourages you to work with people you know to stop violence, whether you are experiencing the violence yourself, or you see it happening and want it to stop. If you would like to talk to someone about a concern, there are a few options on how to proceed: We have Wellbeing and Support volunteers who are there to help look after our attendees. They can sit with you, lend a listening ear and help you decide if you would like to talk to conference organisers about your concern. The Conference Organising Team will have Support Contacts who can be available to meet and kōrero with you. You are welcome to get in touch with the Conference Organising Team via email at [email protected] and one of us will be in touch. We also have a team of Pou Āwhina available who may be able to offer guidance and support as needed during this process. Violence causes deep harm to people, and to the social movements we are a part of. We all have a shared responsibility to stop violence and cultivate liberation, whether in ourselves or others. “… the process of reversing the violence and traumatic events of the past two hundred years will take time. The question is: what steps will we take, here and now, to create a platform upon which our children and grandchildren can build?” — Ani Mikaere Information About Kai and Catering Lunchtime Kai Each day your lunch-time kai is provided by a local caterer. On Wednesday 11th November, your lunch will be Syrian food catered by Hassan from Damascus, a suburban café started recently in the Vogelmorn community centre. It’s well worth a visit if you get the chance. Thursday 12th and Saturday 14th lunchtime kai is provided by Krishna Food who cook lovely vegan kai On Friday 13th, Aye Empanadas and More are bringing their homemade empanadas for our kai. This is a local company started by an Argentinian couple and If you’re even in Kilbirnie, seek them out and try their alfajores. Morning and Afternoon Tea Your morning and afternoon teas are baked by volunteers who have followed recipes from cookbooks that represent social and political movements through time. These movements include Women’s suffrage, Sustainable eating, Freedom from slavery, Māori kai as a symbol of kotahitanga and mana motuhake and an everyday gratitude for the kai we have access to. Recipe cards and further detail available each day. Design Provocations Te Timatanga: Pupuke Te Mahara : Bobby Luke The embodiment of cloth is the conductor of touch points in memory. Titled Whiri Kawe, a three-strand plait, representing a methodology of cloth, performance, and the lens, explores a Taranaki world view of knowledge exchanges within a matriarchal space. KAI-DNESS Design Provocations: Nan O’Sullivan, Leanna Dey, Dana Fridman, Bobby Luke Kai-dness is a collaboration between the schools of Architecture and Design Innovation from Victoria University of Wellington, Te Herenga Waka, who have joined forces to demonstrate the power of commensality (social eating) and hākari (feasting, to demonstrate hospitality and mana). We aim to create an interactive dining experiences that celebrates the social interaction and co-design opportunities offered in these moments of shared experience. Elucidating both the aim and objective of this work is the metaphor for commensality; ‘coming together to break bread and boundaries.’ The sharing of the food is known to break-down social barriers and in this case also prompt and enable discussion, drawing and dialogue around the conference provocations of aroha, resistance, and social change.

  • Draft Programme
    Conference Programme November 11th: Day One 9.00am Welcome Wharenui LT 1 9.30am Keynote: Constitutional Transformation Wharenui Featuring: Professor Margaret Mutu and Dr Veronica Tawhai LT 1 Constitutional transformation is one of the biggest political ideas Aotearoa must grapple with. But what does it mean? How does it happen? Sparking off our conference, Tayla Cook and Safari Hynes will sit down for a kaputī with Professor Margaret Mutu and Dr Veronica Tawhai, members of Matike Mai Aotearoa, the Independent Working Group on Constitutional Transformation. This intergenerational kōrero will set the scene for the rest of the week, and go straight to the heart of Aotearoa’s biggest questions around Te Tiriti o Waitangi, tino rangatiratanga, mana motuhake and political change. 10.30am Morning Tea 11.00am Papers: “Questioning Place and Privilege” Wharenui Missing from our Refugee Debate: the Right to Cross Borders LT 1 Presented by: Umesh Perinpanayagam Over the last few years activists have focused on (increasing) the New Zealand government’s refugee quota intake — a program which sees the government chose a fixed number of refugees from overseas to be resettled here. However, challenging the government’s policies to stop potential refugees reaching New Zealand borders, where they can claim asylum, has been missing from this debate. These policies have coincided with a marked decline in people claiming asylum here despite an unprecedented number of people displaced by wars and persecution globally — to which Western states have been major contributors. This paper outlines New Zealand government policies based on public sources and official information requests and touches upon their legal and moral implications.

  • Punk Rock and the Socio-Politics of Place Dissertation Presented
    Building a Better Tomorrow: Punk Rock and the Socio-Politics of Place Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University by Jeffrey Samuel Debies-Carl Graduate Program in Sociology The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Townsand Price-Spratlen, Advisor J. Craig Jenkins Amy Shuman Jared Gardner Copyright by Jeffrey S. Debies-Carl 2009 Abstract Every social group must establish a unique place or set of places with which to facilitate and perpetuate its way of life and social organization. However, not all groups have an equal ability to do so. Rather, much of the physical environment is designed to facilitate the needs of the economy—the needs of exchange and capital accumulation— and is not as well suited to meet the needs of people who must live in it, nor for those whose needs are otherwise at odds with this dominant spatial order. Using punk subculture as a case study, this dissertation investigates how an unconventional and marginalized group strives to manage ‘place’ in order to maintain its survival and to facilitate its way of life despite being positioned in a relatively incompatible social and physical environment. To understand the importance of ‘place’—a physical location that is also attributed with meaning—the dissertation first explores the characteristics and concerns of punk subculture. Contrary to much previous research that focuses on music, style, and self-indulgence, what emerged from the data was that punk is most adequately described in terms of a general set of concerns and collective interests: individualism, community, egalitarianism, antiauthoritarianism, and a do-it-yourself ethic.

  • Autonomia in the Anthropocene: New Challenges to Radical Politics
    Sara Nelson and Bruce Braun Autonomia in the Anthropocene: New Challenges to Radical Politics The theoretical innovations that emerged out of the Italian Autonomia movement of the 1970s have enjoyed a striking revival in Anglophone critical scholarship in the past two decades, informing a generation of political activism that erupted in force with the alter-globalization move- ments of the late 1990s. In the midst of the “Ital- ian miracle” of industrial growth following the country’s postwar devastation, a broad-based movement of workers, students, and intellectuals refused capital’s “gift” of work (Tronti 2007) and advanced a politics of self-determination and self- valorization outside of state and party politics. Autonomia, Italian for autonomy, referred both to the ontological priority of labor power vis-à-vis capital and to a rejection of the bureaucratic poli- tics of compromise characteristic of the establish- ment Left.1 Among the movement’s ongoing lega- cies is a vibrant intellectual tradition that has transformed established categories of Marxist analysis to contend with the changing political terrain that accompanied the rise of what is now referred to as a post-Fordist mode of production. Along with Latin American and indigenous anti- colonial movements, Autonomia forms one of sev- eral intellectual undercurrents nourishing the The South Atlantic Quarterly 116:2, April 2017 doi 10.1215/00382876-3829368 © 2017 Duke University Press Downloaded from http://read.dukeupress.edu/south-atlantic-quarterly/article-pdf/116/2/223/471692/ddsaq_116_2_01Nelson_Fpp.pdf by guest on 23 September 2021 224 The South Atlantic Quarterly • April 2017 turn toward direct, horizontal democratic organization outside of the repre- sentative structures of electoral politics and oriented toward a horizon of liberation.

  • Left Out? the Extra-Parliamentary Left in NZ
    LEFT OUT? The Extra-Parliamentary Left in Aotearoa/NZ from 1999 to 2008 Tyler West Department of Politics University of Otago February 2018 Word Count: 19,964 Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Master of Politics Left Out? The Extra-Parliamentary Left during the Fifth Labour Government Abstract The Fifth Labour Government of Helen Clark entered parliament to assumptions that after the period of neoliberal restructuring from 1984 to 1999, the political left in New Zealand had recaptured not only power in parliament but a genuine widespread public support. The scholarly literature that focuses on the period of the Fifth Labour Government generally ignores political developments and events to the left of Labour. Yet social and economic struggles which occurred beyond the bounds of parliament throughout this period. Critical research, or even just documentation, on the extra-parliamentary left is scarce in New Zealand and the available sources of information remain highly fragmented. The first purpose of this study is to establish a coherent narrative of the activities of the extra-parliamentary left over the period from 1999 to 2008, to help fill a major gap in the existing literature. This is to be done in the context of an overall analysis of the socio- economic context of the period. This study examines the interactions these movements and organisations had with the parties in government; parties that were both the focus of their political campaigning and supposedly on ‘their side’ of New Zealand politics. This study also explores issues from the debate on the left over whether a reformist or revolutionary strategy should be adopted to promote progressive political change.
