title: Music interaction research in HCI

authors: Liikkanen, Lassi

subjects: music

abstract: The ubiquity of music consumption is overarching. Statistics for digital music sales, streaming video videos, computer games, and illegal sharing all speak of a huge interest. At the same, an incredible amount of data about every day interactions (sales and use) with music is accumulating through new cloud services. However, there is an amazing lack of public knowledge about everyday music interaction. This panel discusses the state of music interaction as a part of digital media research. We consider why music interaction research has become so marginal in HCI and discuss how to revive it. Our two discussion themes are: orientation towards design vs. research in music related R&D, and the question if and how private, big data on music interactions could enlighten our understanding of ubiquitous media culture.

title: Creating whanaungatanga: Kaupapa Maori support in the Psychology Department at the University of Waikato

authors: Masters-Awatere, Bridgette

subjects: Maori students

abstract: Attendance at university has been recognized by some as a competitive environment that does not cater for the co-operative philosophy followed by many Maori.  Within the Psychology Department at the University of Waikato there have been efforts since the Departments early days to place emphasis on the Maori cultural experience, but there were few Maori students and no Maori staff back then.  Now, in 2004, the Department has a team of Maori staff and courses with Maori content at both undergraduate and graduate levels.  Yet the environment that the students move in is still competitive. Grades are based on individual assessment through undergraduate level. At graduate level the emphasis on group dynamics comes to the fore.  The availability and accessibility of Maori staff at different levels in a Kaupapa Maori programme provides one of the strategies of support for maori students at Waikato.  This paper discusses the issues around managing, delivering and providing opportunities so that Maori students studying psychology feel supported for the duration of their time at Waikato University.
