Item A discourse on the nature of indigenous architecture(Springer, 2018-06-26) Matunga, Hirini; Grant, E; Greenop, K; Refiti, AL; Glenn, DJThis chapter offers a personal discourse on the nature of indigenous architecture framed as a response to architects Frank Lloyd Wright and Rewi Thompson. It investigates the notion of a ‘different approach’ to architecture grounded in indigeneity, an indigenous ontology, epistemology and ‘being indigenous’. I investigate this ‘different approach’ through a prism that is my interpretation of Maori architectural history—extrapolating from the local to the national then international context to give my take on the concept of indigenous architecture. I use the Maori concept of whakapapa to signify that indigenous architecture—as a people/placed based human endeavour with its own tradition and genealogy has always existed, and continues to produce a coherent corpus of architecture. I do this by positing the notion of indigenous architecture as both design process and outcome, sourced in unique indigenous narratives and archetypes for design. I also posit the idea of an indigenous architectural chronology and typology that challenges some of the universalising assumptions of ‘western’ architecture and spatial design.Item Māori cultural values and soil fertility management – An exploratory study(New Zealand Grassland Association, 2023) Lucock, Xiaomeng; Moir, James; Ruwhiu, DHighlights • There have been limited studies to date specifically relating Māori cultural values to soil fertility management practices on farms. • The deep-rooted connection between Māori people and the land is a critical feature of their land management decisions. • Farms are food baskets for whānau and the wider community, as well as sources of income to provide other services and desired outcomes (e.g., social, cultural, environmental). • Soil fertility maintenance is a high priority for Māori land managers, but there is a fine balance to strike between this, farm cashflow and other responsibilities (e.g., whānau, community, kaitiakitanga). • Current environmental regulations present many complex challenges to Māori farms. • Potential exists in unlocking Māori provenance through seeking business partners who share the same cultural values.Item Connecting through research: A collaborative autoethnography of a positive culture in an inter-institutional research group(Otago Polytechnic Press, 2023) Olsen, P; Marshall, H; Choukri, M; Elliot, Catherine; Harris, H; Leong, C; Draper, N; Lizamore, C; Hamlin, MichaelThe LUCARA (Lincoln University, University of Canterbury, and Ara Te Pūkenga) group is a thriving research group based in Ōtautahi Christchurch, New Zealand. The group consists of nine academics in sport and exercise science, health, and nutrition at the three tertiary institutions. The majority of the group members had previously been involved in collaborative research for over 10 years. Initially, the relationships during this time were largely transactional, for example, editorial feedback, funding support, data collection, and statistical support. However, in the last two-and-half years, the group has matured, and relationships have deepened with weekly meetings, connections, and partnerships, which has produced a large increase in the number of collaborations between researchers, sharing of resources, and hence increased research outputs. This narrative explores the organic researcher-led growth in the group, and uses the theme of connections to gain an understanding of how this culture has blossomed over a relatively short time in a sport and allied health research setting.Item Gallipoli: The Scale of Our War by Puawai Cairns, Michael Keith, Christopher Pugsley, and Richard Taylor(University of Auckland, 2023-10) Coleman, PatrickFor over a hundred years, the Gallipoli Campaign has been part of New Zealand’s public myth and memory. In this public space, the Te Papa-Wētā Workshop exhibition ‘Gallipoli: The Scale of Our War Karipori: Te pakanga nui’ has sought to bring the campaign to life. The exhibition opened in 2015 and is scheduled to finally close on 25 April 2025 – this book seeks to preserve its memory.Item Participation, development and tensions in New Zealand donor engagement with non-secular recipients: A case for recognising post-secularity in practice(Elsevier BV, 2024-06) Lewthwaite, W; Fisher, David; Rennie, HamishMany authors argue that we live in a post-secular world where religion persists, and where, in public affairs, religious views should have an equal voice with secularity. This article examines participation in international development through that post-secular lens: To what extent do the differing worldviews of the partners affect their relationships when designing and implementing development projects? Fieldwork for the research was conducted mainly through interviews with global donor and practitioner organisations working from New Zealand and with recipients on one project in Bangladesh. We used a typology of three different parties: recipients; secular donor and practitioner organisations; and faith-based donor and practitioner organisations (FBOs). In that triangle of relationships we found the three parties’ beliefs are intensely important to them. But we also found participation tends to be transactional in that the topic of religion is generally avoided, leading to unexplored assumptions and adverse consequences to development of trust between the parties. However, we observed that FBOs and recipients can, through religion, and regardless of what that religion is, have a natural rapport. This is important as less-developed countries are generally profoundly religious. Further, in an extension to some concepts of post-secularity, our research indicated there is value in not just listening but also in debating views in-depth as a pathway to creating common ground. This may be challenging for secular organisations, but facilitators who are accepted by the three parties as understanding and respecting their views could help achieve productive relationships.
