title: The Sydney duricrusts: their terminology and nomenclature

authors: Faniran, Adetoye

abstract: Two main duricrust types - laterites and ferricretes - and their underlying materials are mapped and described for the northern parts of the Sydney district, New South Wales. Laterites are by far the more widespread, being found both in the Wainamatta-Shales and in the Hawkesbury-Sandstone areas, particularly on the broad hilltops and interfiuves of the major divide between the three drainage systems - the north-flowing Hawkesbury-Broken Bay, the south-flowing Parramatta-Port Jackson and the east-flowing Pacific Ocean systems. The ferricretes occur mainly in the drier parts of the northwest, especially in the conglomeratic river gravels of the Maroota area. The two materials have similar profile characteristics but they are different in hand specimen, in textural and structural characteristics, and also in mineralogical composition. The duricrusts and their profiles have been widely destroyed and differentially truncated, so that their various zones and subzones are presently exposed at different places. These materials, especially in respect of laterites, are classified from field and laboratory evidence, according to their recognised, or assigned, position in the typical deep weathering profile. Names are assigned, depending on the area where the best examples were found.

title: Supervision in educational contexts: raising the stakes in a global world

authors: Cornforth, Sue

subjects: supervision

abstract: This paper brings together discourses surrounding two areas of supervision, educational and clinical, in order to address the increasing complexity of academic life. Educational supervision of postgraduate student researchers resonates with more clinical supervision practices. All are widely perceived as beneficial and promoted on ethical grounds. However, a comparison foregrounds supervision's problematic and questionable association with a neo-liberal economic agenda. Following a desire to speak the unspeakable in academic spaces, we apply a discursively informed critical analysis to describe supervision as an affluent, professional response to an increasingly restrictive individualism, which compounds the isolating function of an unsustainable regime. We explore the possibilities that supervisory practices offer as an organisational space in the domain of power, locating untapped potential in their ambivalence. We invite a radical revisioning of supervision as a platform that might have potential for an increasingly subversive and inclusive voice in higher education.

title: Ko te Korokoro o te Parata: Ko tātou tonu

authors: Higgins, Rawinia

subjects: Whakaora reo

abstract: I roto i ngā kaupapa whakaora i te reo Māori kei te waipukehia tātou e te reo Pākehā. Ahakoa he aha te kaupapa kei te mate tonu te reo Māori, ā kāore anō tātou kia kite kei hea te ara tika hei karo atu i te korokoro o te parata. Kāore hoki tātou e titiro me pēhea e whakarekareka ai te reo ki te huhua o ngā Māori, tuatahi; tuarua ki te motu whānui. Ko te āhua nei ko tātou tonu kei te patu i tō tātou reo. He tere nō tātou ki te whakahāwea i ngā tūmomo kaupapa whakaora reo Māori. Kei ngā ngutu noa iho te mate nui ki te reo Māori. Ka ara mai he kaupapa whakaora reo, arā kē te tokomaha o ngā tāngata e patu ana i taua kaupapa. Ahakoa ko wai, kāore tētahi kaupapa e noho tapu ana. Katoa kei te tātāhia e tātou tonu. Nō reira, me aha? Me tuku kia mate? Me pēhea te patu i te korokoro o te parata mehemea ko tātou tonu taua taniwha?
