Staff at Te Tumu are extremely proud of Megan P\u014dtiki. She was a former lecturer, and has been one of our PhD students. Last week, the examination of her doctoral thesis was held at her marae, at \u014ct\u0101kou. This is the first doctoral examination on a marae of this region. Her thesis is entitled \u201cTe H\u016b o Moho\u201d in which she explained the causes of the death of the M\u0101ori language in her village of \u014ct\u0101kou in the first half of the twentieth century. Paerau Warbrick and Lachy Paterson were the supervisors of her research work. Her friends and family were also at the hui. There too were Jacinta Ruru (the examination convenor) and two of the examiners, Tony Ballantyne and Peter Meihana (Massey University). Megan gave an excellent presentation, as were her answers to the examiners\u2019 questions. When they had concluded their questions, other people at the hui then discussed her research. This was a departure from normal process, and everyone agreed it was a great tikanga that might be used for all doctoral examinations. The examiners determined that Megan\u2019s thesis was excellent, and when she tidies a few typos, she will be finished. This is great news. We would also like to thank the local people at \u014ct\u0101kou for their warm welcome, and the wonderful food.<\/p>\n
