title: A Pilot survey of the attitudes towards industrial psychology of managers, personal officers and management consultants in New Zealand

authors: Place, Helen Ivy

abstract: The application of psychological principles and techniques to the work situation has been well documented (Dunnette & Kirchner (1965), Tiffin & McCormack (1966), Blum & Naylor (1968), Kolasa (1969), Korman (1971). There are however few studies which provide some understanding of attitudes towards industrial psychology and these are limited to the United States. (Feinperg & Lefkowitz (1962), Thornton (1969). In spite of the increasing number of management consultant firms in this country there is little information about the application of psychological principles to the New Zealand industrial scene. In order to gain some understanding of the current status and scope of industrial psychology, it was decided to investigate the attitudes of personnel officers, managers and management consultants.

title: Local Cryo-history: Redefining the creation, transformation and circulation of Aotearoa’s nineteenth century glacier knowledge

authors: Annandale, Claudi - Ann

abstract: The creation, transformation and dissemination of knowledge constantly shapes the narrative of glacier history. However, the intersecting layers that human encounters with the frozen environment, Indigenous knowledge, and popular thought add to glacier histories is often overlooked. By analysing the trends and intellectual traditions that emerged in nineteenth century New Zealand, a period defined as glaciology's 'classical' era of study, this thesis aims to broaden the Southern Alps’ local science-focused glacier discourse.   

Māori, for example, possessed unique mātauranga (knowledge) that was documented through Europeans employing local guides to accompany them across the Southern Alps. This mātauranga shaped some encounters nineteenth-century scientists, surveyors, and travellers had with Kā Tiritiri o te Moana’s glacier environment. New Zealand scholars like Julius von Haast and James Hector, on the other hand, further refined their understanding of New Zealand glaciers through the transnational exchange of knowledge and intellectual debates. A combination of Enlightenment rationalism and Romantic aesthetic also influenced popular glacier narratives that emerged during the nineteenth century. For example, the imagination of journalists, mountaineers and travellers reflected the broader cultural trends that circulated from Europe to New Zealand before their knowledge was disseminated to the public.  

By interrogating mātauranga Māori, formal scientific study, and popular settler imagination about glaciers, this thesis redefines New Zealand’s nineteenth-century glacier history as inherently multilayered through the circulation, creation, transformation and dissemination of glacier knowledge. In doing so, it highlights glaciers not only as physical entities defined by scientific study but as ideas shaped by diverse knowledge systems, cultural perceptions, and historical contingencies.
