Soil Amendment Plinth: A Prototype for Support
The “soil amendment plinth” is a concept and prototype that emerged over several conversations between Amanda White and Kirsty Robertson, in which we discussed how galleries and museums are traditionally unfriendly to the porous, messy nature of artworks that include living things. Here we are imagining an appropriate support for artworks that are compostable and purposefully impermanent, constructed from materials that are well known soil amendm…
Walking the tightrope of quality assessment: Balancing perspectives and priorities of stakeholder groups
The ongoing evolution of digital technologies, particularly Generative Artificial Intelligence, continues to shape and challenge assessment design in higher education. Given the complex and sometimes competing factors that contribute to assessment design, and the evolving digital landscape in which assessment is placed, this study examines the perspectives and priorities of five key stakeholder groups – educators, students, employers of graduates…
Using community‐based participatory research to contextualize Latino exposure to community violence: A mixed qualitative and spatial analysis approach
While the relationship between community violence exposure and maladaptive outcomes has been established, the dynamic between violence exposure and resilience factors in youth is not well understood. The current study utilizes a community‐based participatory research (CBPR) framework and employs a novel mixed‐methods approach integrating quantitative geographic information systems (GIS) data and semi‐structured qualitative focus groups to examine…
Toddlers as active, competent story weavers: Lexie’s story
Communication and literacy development of young children is shaped by the nature of social and cultural relationships in everyday situations. Few studies, however, have explored early story experiences encountered by infants and toddlers in naturalistic settings. We argue that personal stories about everyday lived experiences are a vital context for considering how toddlers develop communicative competencies as they participate in these stories w…
Towards a framework for designing and evaluating online assessments in business education
With the recent and rapid transition to online teaching and learning in higher education, this explanatory study investigated the key design considerations used by business educators designing assessments suitable for online delivery. From a comprehensive literature review, we identified five key design considerations for online assessments: they must (1) assure academic integrity; (2) allow for provision of quality feedback; (3) support a positi…
Parents and whānau as experts in their worlds: Valuing family pedagogies in early childhood
Growing tension within the early childhood education sector of Aotearoa New Zealand around the roles teachers and families might play in preparing children for success in school suggests that notions of readiness are gaining traction. In this paper, we draw on data from three empirical studies to position families as experts in the lives of their children, valuing the linguistically and culturally diverse literacies children carry from their whān…
Jane says, an exhibition of works by Ann Shelton
jane says is an exhibition of works by Ann Shelton, that opened at the Denny Dimin Gallery in New York City, in Spring 2019. Ann’s sumptuous photographic portraits of botanic arrangements – arranged by the artist with an ikebana-like approach – present these contrivances in larger-than-life detail. Divorced from the domestic interior and titled both for the medicinal plants they feature and female archetypes, each botanic composition reveals an u…
A Conceptual Model to Identify Intent to Use Chemical-Biological Weapons
This paper describes a conceptual model to identify and interrelate indicators of intent of non-state actors to use chemical or biological weapons. The model expands on earlier efforts to understand intent to use weapons of mass destruction by building upon well-researched theories of intent and behavior and focusing on a sub-set of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) to account for the distinct challenges of employing different types of WMD in vio…
