About this research
This is an extension of the Mauri Model based assessment conducted in 2011/2012 which assessed the impact of fracking on the Blood Tribe's lands in Ontario. The findings of this research will be extended by encompassing the input of the Iwi affected by consents issued to allow mining exploration activities in the Taitokerau and Heretaunga rohe. The intern, Henare Waihape, will conduct two one-day workshops with the affected Iwi to implement the Mauri Model assessment and then report back to the communities on completion of the analysis to confirm the report content. A literature review will be conducted while meetings are organised and workshop materials are being prepared in the first four weeks. If possible the workshops will be conducted in December 2012, allowing analysis and reporting back within the research period. The final week will be used to produce the final report. The supervisor is Dr Kepa Morgan.

This research takes the position that technologies using AI techniques are promoting a diversity crisis throughout industry, academia, and society. These techniques are amplifying biased stereotypes that are now being observed in automated systems.
This research will examine the ways in which my whānau, members of Te Uri o Patumoana rāua ko Raikete Amoamo, seek to respond to dominant, colonially influenced technologies, and to explore approaches that ensure a new form of colonial oppression does not become a reality.

Tūpuna Māori were a strong and active people whose relationship with their natural environment was fundamental to their ability to adapt and flourish in challenging environments. It is the intent of this research to present a mana-enhancing narrative giving voice to physically active wāhine Māori, (re)presenting their connection to and activation of mana inherited from ancestors. The aim is to explore the whakapapa of physical activity among a group of self-declared physically active Māori women.
By identifying characteristics that relate to their ability to maintain physical activity, this study will ultimately weave those findings into pūrākau of atua [wāhine] – feminine representations within nature. Whakapapa provides this research with both method and methodology, while an overarching lens of Mana Wahine prioritises the important voices at the intersection of being Māori and female. Using a uniquely styled interview process that allows a platform for sharing through physical activity, this research acknowledges and utilises the diverse ways to communicate and transmit knowledge.

Antidepressant medications are .frequently prescribed medications, with over 600,000 New Zealanders taking an antidepressant in 2019. Antidepressant compounds remain biologically active after passing through the body and are not removed in wastewater treatment. Exposure to antidepressant compounds has negative impacts on other species, including reduced fertility and escape responses, altered mating behaviours, and reduced camouflage. There is little information regarding the extent of antidepressant compounds entering the New Zealand environment through wastewater ejjl.uent and sludge, and the potential negative impacts on New Zealand native species.
