title: 'Hey this is me, this is what I want to do!': Gender transitioning in workplaces

authors: Johnston, Lynda

abstract: The study discusses how examining the embodied feelings of gender variant individuals reveals the marginalizing actions and reactions of others towards them. It highlights that gender variant people's feelings of (dis)comfort and (not)belonging demonstrate the interconnection between workplace, bodies, and feelings of (in)security. In workplaces with (in)secure geographies, the emotions experienced by those not conforming to traditional norms may shape the environment. By focusing on gender variant embodied emotions, the study aims to challenge heteronormative structures and create new senses of belonging that go beyond cisgender norms.

title: Affordances of spreadsheets in mathematical investigation: Potentialities for learning

authors: Calder, Nigel Stuart

subjects: school mathematics

abstract: This article, is concerned with the ways learning is shaped when mathematics problems are investigated in spreadsheet environments. It considers how the opportunities and constraints the digital media affords influenced the decisions the students made, and the direction of their enquiry pathway. How might the leraning trajectory unfold, and the learning process and mathematical understanding emerge? Will the spreadsheet, as the pedagogical medium, evoke learning in a distinctive manner? The article reports on an aspect of an ongoing study involving students as they engage mathematical investigative tasks through digital media, the spreadsheet in particular. In considers the affordances of this learning environment for primary-aged students.

title: Ngōku whakaaro – hei maumaharatanga. Maori women facial adornment: A mark of remembrance

authors: Nikora, Linda Waimarie

abstract: To honour the life and memory of the late Te Arikinui Te Atairangikaahu, and the elevation of her son King Tuheitia, a group of women from Tainui iwi under took the process of taking moko kauae - of colouring their chins with traditional patterns. The adornment process took place at Turangawaewae marae with family, friends, elders, and grandchildren. In this presentation we will talk about the journey of these women to prepare themselves for their transformations, the process they went through, and their lives since. We will also consider how their decision also meant exposure to outside opinion, the associated risks of objectification, “image-snatching”, and cultural and intellectual property issues.
