title: Resilience in Practice

authors: White, Iain

abstract: What is our research focus? -Many ‘pathways’ to resilience in practice –some deficit related (e.g. science, data, policy, or examples), others require systemic change and innovation –this is what we are interested in.
There is also a plurality of resilience ‘problems’-some do not fit politics, institutions and professional cultures as well as others –these difficult decisions are what we are interested in. Complement other RPM work.
What is our intellectual Focus?–Science & Technology Studies(STS). A relatively newish field, it is focused on analysingthe ways that social contexts (e.g. legal, governmental, political, commercial, civil, cultural) produce, mediate, and co-constitute scientific knowledge. Shift away from ‘barriers’ or ‘translation’ approaches.

title: Supporting Change-Aware Semantic Web Services

authors: Hinze, Annika

subjects: computer science

abstract: The Semantic Web is not only evolving into a provider of structured meaningful content and knowledge representation, but also into a provider of services. While most of these services support external users of the SW, we focus on a vital service within the SW – change management and adaptation. Change is a ubiquitous feature of the SW. In this paper, we propose a service architecture that embraces and utilises change to provide higher quality services. We introduce pilot implementations of two supporting services within this architecture.

title: Supervising research in Māori cultural contexts: a decolonizing, relational response

authors: Berryman, Mere

abstract: We have collaborated for 25 years as indigenous Māori and non- Māori researchers undertaking research with Māori families, their schools and communities. We have endeavored to meet our responsibilities to the Māori people (indigenous inhabitants of New Zealand) and communities with whom we have researched, as well as meet the requirements and responsibilities of our academic institutions. In this paper, we reflect on the implications of these responsibilities for our work as supervisors of master’s and doctoral students (Māori and non-Māori) who seek to draw on decolonizing methodologies as they undertake research in Māori cultural contexts. We draw on the experiences and interactions we have had with four different postgraduate students whose research on improving educational outcomes for Māori students has required them to engage and participate in Māori cultural contexts.
