Item Open Access He Awa Whiria: braiding the knowledge streams in research, policy and practice.(Canterbury University Press, 2024) Macfarlane, Angus; Derby, Melissa; Macfarlane, SonjaThe concept of a braided river – he awa whiria – inspired the creation by pioneering educational researcher Professor Angus Macfarlane of a framework connecting Indigenous and Western perspectives. The He Awa Whiria framework has been used to support bicultural partnership approaches to policy development, research initiatives and practices in a broad range of sectors, such as tertiary institutions, iwi locations, private corporations and government ministries. Through the 12 chapters in this book, the authors explain their rationale for adopting He Awa Whiria, and detail how they have operationalised it in their respective fields of expertise. They report on the positive impacts that the framework has had at each stage of their work – from the conceptual design stage (which includes thinking and planning activities), during the application phase (which includes implementation and monitoring), through to the conclusion of activities (which includes reflection and review). Providing both an overview of the concept of He Awa Whiria and ‘real world’ case studies, this new volume illustrates the importance and value of drawing on two rich streams of knowledge – mātauranga Māori and Western science.Item Open Access Prosecuting intimate partner rape: the impact of misconceptions on complainant experience and trial process(Canterbury University Press, 2023) McDonald, ElisabethThis is the final of three publications which describe what can be observed when the door to the courtroom is metaphorically opened to researchers during adult rape trials. As a result of privileged access to case files, the transcripts and audio of complainant evidence in 71 trials in total over a 10-year period (2010–2020) have been examined. This third book examines the experience of complainants in 15 intimate partner rape jury trials, as compared to complainant experience in 30 adult rape jury trials (in which the complainant and defendant were not in an intimate relationship). The book also contains commentary on complainant experience in intimate partner rape cases heard by a judge sitting alone, as compared to jury trials and as contrasted with the experience of adult rape complainants in judge-alone trials. The majority of the analysis of the adult rape jury trials has previously been published in "Rape Myths as Barriers to Fair Trial Process: Comparing adult rape trials with those in the Aotearoa Sexual Violence Court Pilot" (Canterbury University Press, Christchurch, 2020). Previous commentary on the adult judge-alone adult rape trials was published as "In the Absence of a Jury: Examining judge-alone rape trials" (Canterbury University Press, Christchurch, 2022).Item Open Access Ngā Hau e Whā o Tāwhirimātea: Culturally Responsive Teaching and Learning for the Tertiary Sector(Canterbury University Press, 2022) Rātima, Tai Matiu; Smith, Jennifer Pearl; Macfarlane, Angus Hikairo; Riki, Nathan Mahikai; Jones, Kay-Lee; Davies, Lisa KayeThis practical guide to culturally responsive teaching practice in the tertiary sector is designed to support kaiako (teachers) to reconfigure the teacher/learner dynamic and question old habits, with a view to embracing kaupapa Māori and diversity. Step by step, Ngā Hau e Whā o Tāwhirimātea explores core Māori values that can be used to enhance kaiako effectiveness and relationships with students – Māori and non-Māori alike – including: Manaakitanga – Ethic of care Whanaungatanga – Relationships Kotahitanga – Unity Rangatiratanga – Student agency and leadership Working at their own pace, kaiako can engage with Māori students and stakeholders to co-develop learning outcomes, processes and assessments that support student success in the tertiary environment. Ngā Hau e Whā o Tāwhirimātea can be used in a cycle of reflective practice, drawing on past experience and feedback from colleagues and community to develop cultural competence and confidence in tertiary learning spaces. Grateful acknowledgement is made to Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga for its provision of a Publications Support Grant, which enabled this book to be produced as an open access digital resource.Item Open Access In the absence of a jury: examining judge-alone rape trials(2022) McDonald, ElisabethThis book is the second of three publications which describe what can be observed when the door to the courtroom is metaphorically opened to researchers during adult rape trials. Through the privilege of being granted access to case files, the transcripts and audio of complainant evidence in more than 70 trials over a 10-year period have been examined. This second book focusses on the experience of complainants in eight judge-alone trials, as compared to 30 jury trials in the first book. The majority of the analysis of the adult rape jury trials has previously been published in "Rape Myths as Barriers to Fair Trial Process: Comparing adult rape trials with those in the Aotearoa Sexual Violence Court Pilot" (Canterbury University Press, Christchurch, 2020). Forthcoming work in 2023, funded by the Michael and Suzanne Borrin Foundation, will analyse 15 jury trials and seven judge-alone trials in order to document the experiences of adult complainants who allege they were raped by their intimate partner.Item Open Access Rape Myths as Barriers to Fair Trial Process: Comparing adult rape trials with those in the Aotearoa Sexual Violence Court Pilot(Canterbury University Press, 2020) McDonald, ElisabethItem Open Access Ngā kōrero a Pita Kāpiti(Canterbury University Press, 1997) Kāpiti, Pita; Reedy, AnaruIn the late nineteenth century, the leading tohunga Pita Kāpiti, at Waiapu on the East Coast, dictated an account of the rituals surrounding the cultivation of kūmara and hue (gourds) and the hunting of kiore (rats), kererū (pigeons) and kākā. He also recorded many karakia and accounts of ritual and tradition, particularly those relating to the ancestors of Ngāti Porou. This first publication of Pita Kāpiti's teachings includes the Māori text in full, an English translation, an introduction and extensive annotations.Item Open Access Ngā kōrero a Mohi Ruatapu : tohunga rongonui o Ngāti Porou(Canterbury University Press, 1993) Ruatapu, Mohi; Reedy, AnaruThis landmark publication comprises two manuscripts written in the 1870s by one of the greatest tohunga of Ngāti Porou. Mohi Ruatapu, of Tokomaru Bay, was one of the teachers at the last Whare Wānanga (School of Learning) on the East Coast, north of Tūranga (Gisborne district). Much later, as an old man, he recorded the myths, legends and songs of his people. Mohi Ruatapu’s writings are regarded as the most important single body of writing on myth produced by any nineteenth-century Māori writer. Hitherto, only a few short extracts have been published. This new work includes the Māori text in full with an introduction, English translation and annotations.
