title: Pushing the process: A whānau journey through the Treaty of Waitangi claims process

authors: Harrison, Reece David

subjects: Whanau Claims

abstract: This thesis follows the journey of a Whānau (ngā uri a Arama Whakatau) in its Claim to the Waitangi Tribunal under the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1986. In particular, it looks at inter-Whānau dynamics before, during and after the Claims process. The connections to the claimant area through whakapapa and establishing ahi kaa rights are identified, as are problems faced by lodging a Claim at the Whānau level. Aspects of inter-Whānau, inter-Hapū and inter-iwi politics are considered along with Crown agencies' processes. The primary question posed in the thesis is whether a Whānau Claim is the more appropriate avenue compared to making a Claim through the Hapū or iwi. However, the inter-Whānau dynamics are the core focus of the thesis in this 'warts-and-all' discussion from the perspective of the participant-observer.

title: Copyright in education: bringing the classroom to life

authors: Dimitrov, Dara

subjects: Copyright

abstract: The author, the daughter of a refugee, underscores the significance of education instilled by her father, who lacked it himself but saw it as a means to break free from poverty. She argues that educators require affordable training and access to materials, but copyright laws create obstacles.

Research highlights issues with copyright exceptions for educators in Fiji and the Philippines. Educators unintentionally use copyrighted materials, struggling with the intricacies of copyright law.

Financial limitations pose challenges for educational institutions globally, impacting both developed and developing countries. Educators often resort to using online resources without proper licensing due to these constraints.

The author stresses the concern of copyright enforcement against educators, particularly in developing nations. Complex copyright exceptions hinder teaching quality and material utilization.

In conclusion, the author urges a relaxation of copyright laws in education to ensure equitable access to education, especially in developing countries.
