title: Māori Psychology Workforce & Māori-Focussed Course Content Review

authors: Waitoki, Waikaremoana

abstract: The Ministry of Health (2014) acknowledges that inaccurate and unreliable workforce data collections have been an issue for some time. This is a particular issue for the psychology workforce, with there being no single data set able to accurately and reliably describe the psychology workforce in detail. The annual psychology workforce survey was discontinued post 2010, although District Health Board (DHB) Shared Services does provide a dataset pertaining to the DHB psychology workforce. This report details the paper presents data relating to the: Current Māori psychology workforce; and describes the inclusion of Māori focused content within university psychology department courses.

title: Ideology is theft: Thoughts on the legitimacy of a Maori psychology

authors: Tamatea, Armon J.

subjects: Maori

abstract: ‘War, in fact, can be seen as a process of achieving equilibrium among unequal technologies’ (McLuhan, 1964) 
We are at war. As Western science and its accompanying technology expands the frontiers of knowledge at an ever-increasing rate, ‘indigenous’ perspectives of knowledge are exiled into the borderlands of special interest groups and localized research programmes. Mainstream scientific thought lays claim to objective interpretations of experience at the expense of alternative realities offered by emerging theories of knowledge. Furthermore, as localized worldviews (i.e., those derived from ancestral knowledge bases and pre-industrial or non-scientific premises) challenge existing paradigms, the inevitable interactions threaten to undermine the fidelity of this knowledge. One such arena where this ideological conflict is apparent is the growing field of Maori psychology.

title: Bathymetry and bottom sediments of Lake Vanda, Antarctica

authors: Nelson, Campbell S.

abstract: To assist in locating the best site for the Lake Vanda drill hole, the nature of the bottom surface sediments was studied for the purpose of constructing a general bathymetric map of the lake. A maximum depth of 68.6 m is recorded near the center of the western lobe of the lake. Lake bottom sediments sampled at 25 drill holes show two contrasting bottom sediment facies. Shallower than 60 m the environment is aerobic, consisting mainly of pale fawn and quartzofeldspathic sands, overlain by a layer of biological detritus containing algae, diatoms, fungal mycelia, bacteria, and terrigenous sand. Below 60 m the environment is anaerobic, the sediments consisting of sandy muds and muddy sands rich in finely disseminated organic matter. The bathymetric map is shown
