Professor Poia Rewi<\/p><\/div>\n

In July we were treated to Poia Rewi\u2019s Inaugural Professorial Lecture<\/span><\/strong>, held to celebrate his ascension to this t\u016branga rangatira within the university. \u00a0The title of his talk was \u201cHoka : Motivators of Time\u201d, a tour alongside Poia as he recounted his own academic journey, and his ZePA model of developing positivity around the use of te reo M\u0101ori. This was well attended by Poia\u2019s wh\u0101nau, staff and students, as well as many from the community, and was capped off with haka, waiata and karakia. The lecture can now be viewed on ITunes U<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In July Te Tumu were privileged to host Professor Michael Harkin<\/strong><\/span> as a William Evans Fellow. Professor Harkin, a cultural anthropologist and inaugural editor of Ethnohistory<\/em>, gave several talks: a public lecture \u201cThe Trump at the End of the World: Monsters and Marvels in our Parlous Age\u201d, in which he brought his knowledge of societies past and present together, and a departmental seminar, \u201c\u2018The Emotional Archive\u2019: The case of Residential Schools in Canada\u201d, in which he examined \u2018the relative lack of negative narratives [he] elicited…during fieldwork in British Columbia in the 1980s\u20132000s\u2019, while also exploring \u2018various forms of social memory, proposing the notion of an \u201cemotional archive\u201d that contains non-narrative memory traces\u2019.<\/p>\n

It is always great when our students gain their postgraduate degrees, after months or years of working on, and writing up their research. We had three such students graduating this August: Sandra Spence<\/span><\/strong> (P\u0101keh\u0101) and Raaniera Te Whata<\/strong><\/span> (Ng\u0101puhi, Ng\u0101ti Porou, Te Wh\u0101nau a Apanui, Airihi) with the Master of Indigenous Studies, and Gianna Leoni<\/strong><\/span> (Ng\u0101ti Kur\u012b, Ng\u0101ti Takoto, Itariana) with a PhD.<\/p>\n

Dr Lyn Carter supervised Sandra, whose research was on \u201cK\u0101i Tahu Chinese Unions and Identity in Otago and Southland\/Murihiku\u201d; Associate Professor Merata K\u0101wharu supervised R\u0101niera (“Tautoro, tu\u0304 te ao, tu\u0304 te po\u0304 (The endurance of Tautoro heritage): Investigating challenges and opportunities”); Professor Poia Rewi and Associate Professor Lachy Paterson supervised Gianna (\u201cM\u0101 te Taki te K\u0101hui Ka Tau: Te Waiaro ki te Reo M\u0101ori i ng\u0101 Hinonga K\u0101wanatanga\u201d) who wrote her thesis in te reo M\u0101ori.\u00a0 Gianna is teaching MAOR312: Te M\u0101huri 2 this semster.<\/p>\n
