title: In defence of religious charitable trusts—when the ancient and the modern collide

authors: Chevalier-Watts, Juliet

abstract: Religious charitable trusts are no strangers to public and judicial criticism for a range of reasons, and this article considers their continued place within the charity narrative from the unusual perspective of the relationship between religious charitable trusts and commercialism, and whether such a position can be justified in contemporary society. This article does so by considering key cases from Australia and New Zealand, as well as Hong Kong. In doing so, this article demonstrates that religious trusts and commercialism make unusual but justifiable bed fellows, even in contemporary times, at least from a charitable perspective. As such, this article looks to quell some of the public disquiet concerning such trusts that continues unabated, and in doing so, this article may go some way in enhancing the quality of public conversations regarding religious charitable trusts.

title: The craft of creative practice doctoral supervision: Invigorating a field through shared experiences

authors: Hill, Rodrigo

subjects: pedagogy

abstract: Purpose: 
Creative practice doctoral education and supervision are fields in constant flux, as they require the flexibility to engage with organic and symbiotic processes and complex systems of inquiry. As interdisciplinary educators working across the fields of media and communications studies, cultural studies, art and design, the authors reflect upon supervision experiences to generate insight into current creative practice doctoral education modes and approaches within the academy. These experiences provide tangible examples of the flexible supervision framework developed by the authors as a means to improve the doctoral experience for their students. 

Design/methodology/approach: 
By sharing the process by which this framework has developed, this paper offers a conceptual take on creative practice doctoral supervision, acknowledging a need for more engaged discussions and exploration of creative practice research and supervision approaches. The authors offer insights about the role supervisors can play in crafting methodology, catalysing innovation and supporting students as they navigate institutional processes and support structures (or the lack of). The authors argue that it is necessary to form a flexible and adaptable framework to support and sustain nuanced modes of creative practice doctoral supervision and research design. 

Findings: 
Drawing on the authors’ experiences of doctoral supervision and articulating complementary pedagogical approaches, this study offers a flexible supervision framework that provides an adaptable toolbox for supervisors of creative practice doctoral research and incorporates the idea of thinking through making. Moreover, supervisory experiences have led authors to explore ways to enable supervisors to collaborate with doctoral students in carving or weaving methodologies. 

Originality/value: 
Recognising the exploratory and fluid nature of creative practice research, this paper offers a flexible framework that enables supervisors to draw from and adapt complementary pedagogical tools through different stages of the doctoral project. While this framework supports supervisors to respond with agility and creativity as the project develops, this in turn provides an environment where students can drive the research with confidence and eventual autonomy. In addition to offering a flexible framework, this paper invites further discussions, reflections and sharing of creative practice doctoral supervision as a means to invigorate the field of supervision and improve students’ research journeys.

title: Hāwatewate

authors: Maxwell, Te Kahautu

abstract: Hāwatewate; this composition is in remembrance of the hanging of the Ōpōtiki missionary Rev Carl Sylvius Volkner by the Hauhau, Kereopa Te Rau of Ngāti Rangiwewehi of Te Arawa. As a consequence the Te Whakatōhea chief Mokomoko was wrongly convicted and executed by hanging in Mount Eden Prison 17 May 1866. 143870 acres of Te Whakatōhea land was confiscated under the New Zealand Settlements Act 1863. This item placed third in the Whakaeke discipline and was performed by Ōpōtiki Mai Tawhiti at the Te Matatini World Championship Kapa Haka Competition 2015.
