title: The reputational contagion effects of ransomware attacks

authors: Corbet, Shaen

subjects: cybercriminality

abstract: Little research examines investor attention outcomes spreading between firms through partial ownership, without additional business or industry linkages, including the spread of investor attention reactions to firms that are competitors to those firms having ownership stakes in impacted firms. We take advantage of the recent Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack, evidencing reputational contagion from firms impacted directly by reputation events to firms that are competitors of the firms that have significant ownership with the impacted firm, but otherwise no other industrial overlaps. Our results suggest investor attention events have greater breadth of impact than previously realized.

title: Higher Education in the Metacrisis: A conversation

authors: Eames, Chris W.

subjects: disconnection

abstract: There are multiple intersecting crises afflicting society, from environmental devastation to the collapse of democracy, from economic exploitation to gratuitous violence, in the so-called “metacrisis.” Universities have both contributed to these crises in various ways, but have also tried to prevent them In this paper, we consider our responses to the metacrisis from our various disciplinary perspectives as four university educators from different scholarly traditions in one institution in Aotearoa New Zealand, We draw from our teaching experiences and our theoretical perspectives to engage in a reflective conversation with each other about how we may address the challenges of the metacrisis. Our conversation illustrates the potential benefits that such reflections, amongst colleagues who are intimately connected to a range of crises, may have to elucidate knowledge, power and performativity, and considers how humility, in a variety of forms, may be important to navigate the metacrisis.

title: A literary and linguistic critique of a Māori lullaby

authors: August, Tipene

subjects: waiata Māori

abstract: Māori song poems surviving from pre-colonial times can provide a valuable source of information about the artistic and cultural heritage of Māoridom. However, they present a number of challenges for the contemporary analyst. On the basis of a stylistic analysis of a Māori lullaby, a number of hypotheses about Māori song poems in general, and the lullaby in particular, are put forward and it is suggested that these hypotheses could be tested in relation to a corpus of song poems. It is hoped that the approach to stylistic analysis adopted here will be of use to scholars of Māori song poems and, perhaps, also to others who are interested in indigenous art forms more generally.
