title: A summary of peer-reviewed resources for teaching volcanology in higher education

authors: Dohaney, Jacqueline

abstract: Here, we summarise and categorise the volcanology learning activities identified and described in a systematic literature review of volcanology higher education (a companion article; Dohaney et al. [2023]). We share the 47 peer-reviewed articles organised by useful categories, such as educational level, mode and setting of learning, volcanic phenomena, and skills learned in the curricula for easier use and navigation by volcanology instructors. Based on the claims made in the peer-reviewed resources, considerations and suggestions for improved volcanology teaching are included, e.g. exploring authentic field-based experiences, local sites, or simulated demonstrations of volcanic phenomena. To support use of these curricula, we provide suggestions for adapting the resources and highlight additional online catalogues that house useful and engaging volcanology teaching materials.

title: The Fast and the Spurious: Geographies of Youth Car Culture in Hamilton, New Zealand

authors: Beere, Paul

subjects: boy racers

abstract: “Boy racers” or “hoons” attract extensive media attention and are often the focus of public concern. Discourses about “hooning” often focus on notions of public safety and illegal behaviour. What is largely absent from these debates is alternative explanations as to why young people choose to engage in “hooning” behaviour, what drives them to congregate in public spaces and why they choose to express themselves through an “autocentric” culture. When these issues are addressed it is usually within broader policy frameworks which seek ways of dissipating youth activities in spaces constructed as “trouble spots”. This thesis represents an attempt to provide a reverse discourse about youth car culture and young people's presence in public spaces. Criminal activity not withstanding, youth car culture behaviour in this context is treated as a legitimate form of cultural expression that has the same social validity as other non-mainstream phenomena. Through feminist and poststructuralist understandings of identities, landscapes and place, the complexities of youth car culture will be unpacked in an attempt to expose “concerns” which may turn out to be little more than moral panic.

title: The role of coastal marae in natural hazard response and climate change adaptation

authors: Bailey-Winiata, Akuhata

abstract: Marae are much more than infrastructure. They are spiritual places and community hubs. Marae are often positioned in places that are known to be safe based on mātauranga a whānau/hapū/iwi (often more generally referred to as mātauranga Māori - Māori knowledge), and often near waterbodies including rivers/streams, estuaries, and the ocean. Although there are many advantages to living near waterbodies, such features are prone to natural hazards such as flooding and erosion. The impact of these hazards is being exacerbated by climate change and sea level rise.

Hapū and iwi in the past adapted to the impact of natural hazards, and continue to do so, and are now adapting to climate change through a carefully considered process informed by mātauranga Māori developed through generations of observations. Coastal adaptation is generally categorised into three broad types: 1) Protect, 2) Accommodate and 3) Retreat, and many coastal marae are already adapting across all these responses.

Heading into the future, marae are likely to play an increasingly important role for communities in Aotearoa New Zealand. They are examples of mātauranga in action and will continue to protect and shelter people from hazards and following disasters.
