This booklet is to share the experiences and journeys of current Māori doctoral candidates and promote their research interests and areas. These stories offer a snapshot of what doctoral study is like for six Māori students from various disciplines within Massey University.
Equally important is the supervision team that advises and guides doctoral students through their journeys. We have compiled a list of current supervisors who are Māori staff and come from a range of disciplines and schools.
This booklet is intended to give potential students who are interested in doctoral level study, an insight into ‘what it's like’, as well as promoting and highlighting current Māori Doctoral research and the unique stories of their journeys.

Amber gained a Bachelor
of Social Sciences with first class honours at Waikato University, where she then went on to complete a Master of Arts at Massey U n i v e r s i t y ( T u r i t e a Campus) . She i s now enrolled in a Doctoral programme in Clinical Psychology.
Amber’s research is based on the idea that effectiveness and efficacy research are not able to obtain the full picture of psychotherapeutic change. The present study seeks to understand the course of change expected by both experienced and novice clinicians as a means to develop the knowledge base on how change occurs in clients who undertake psychotherapy.
When asked how she would describe her PhD journey thus far, Amber simply responded with “challenging yet rewarding”.
Supervised by Professor Ian M. Evans, Dr. Steven Humphries, and Cheryl Woolley from the School of Psychology, Amber is scheduled to be completed by February 2013, with her practical portion of a Doctorate of Clinical Psychology to be completed in December 2013.
Amber’s doctoral journey so far has been supported and encouraged by family, friends,and key individuals who continuously provide her with guidance. While it has been a long academic journey for Amber, her priority is to ensure that she takes time out for herself by exercising and having fun and
always seeking support from others.

“Connect with your fellow students and relevant staff on campus as they will support you and ensure that you don’t feel like you are the only one who knows what it feels like to do a doctorate.
There is always someone to helpif you just ask”.

Dee's research looks at the increase of Māori use of Internet and Social Networking Sites (SNS) which have enabled Māori to locally and globally connect with family, friends and communities – all the while impacting on Māori ways of communicating (kanohi ki te kanohi). Her research examines how Māori are engaging with new SNS, such as Facebook, Bebo, Twitter, and Google+, and analysing its uses using a c u l t u r a l l e n s a r o u n d t h e d y n a m i c s o f o n l i n e whakawhanaungatanga; the ways in which SNS facilitate cultural identity construction; and how tikanga Māori are being transferred in practice from the marae to the Internet.
Iwi, hapū, marae and whānau could potentially benefit from this research through understanding how Māori are engaging in SNS and the future of us as a people and a culture in how we connect, practice our tikanga and assert our identity.
Associate Professor Helen Moewaka-Barnes and Professor Tim McCreanor (Whāriki Research Centre, Massey University) are Dee's supervisors and she hopes to submit in June 2013.
After her PhD, Dee intends to start her own business as a Māori Research Consult. She hopes to cont inue doing research for her iwi, hapū, whānau. Undergoing Doctoral study will enable Dee "to proudly represent and stand tall for [her] whānau, hapū and iwi".

Graham is studying towards a PhD in software engineering,
more specifically, the evolution of component based software. Simply his research is like the creation of software through Lego like building blocks.
Like all software, component systems must be continually
maintained and extended to ensure that it is suitable for users. Software evolution is well studied, however the specific area of component software evolution has significantly less research. The research aims to expose emergent properties of this very complex process, allowing predictions to be made, and risks to be avoided or mitigated. Jens Dietrich and Hans Guesgen are responsible for sparking Graham’s interest in this unique research area, and have supervised him throughout and into the final stages of his PhD. As he describes it, his PhD journey has enabled him to “enjoy the freedom of the academic environment” by allowing him to explore research areas that he
i s p a s s i o n a t e a b o u t . The highlight of Graham’s PhD experience was when he published his first paper meeting the authors who literally wrote the textbooks that he had been studying. The challenging
times have been when papers have been rejected, or when a lot of time has been invested into learning and the outcomes are not as expected. What gets Graham through is the passion and interest he has in his research.

Other times, the road in front of me is clear, and
the progress is effortless and I am
excited to continue the work”.

Travis’ research explores the
use of emerging technologies (mobile devices such as iPod touch) applied to teaching and learning for rangatahi. His supervisors, Associate Professor Huia Jahnke (Te Uru Maraurau) and Associate P r o f e s s o r M a r k B r o w n (National Centre for Teaching and Learning) are guiding him through his PhD journey.
His advice for new Māori PhD candidates, is simple “a Māori world view can instantly provide you with a stance that is unique to you and can be unexplored within the relevant literature. Embrace this point of difference and use a range of
best research practices to distinguish your research from all others on the international stage”.
Travis’ research will provide a model for the effective use of emerging technologies to enhance learning experiences and educational achievement of rangatahi.

Areta has been living in Oxford, Canterbury for the past four years
where she is completing her PhD in Fine Arts. Her aspirations for returning home have been to contribute back to her iwi through her passion and artistic practice, and now through her studies.
Areta has worked as an artist for the past 20 years and over that time has developed her signature practice. Working conceptually, naturally lead her to this pathway of doctoral research.
A year into her studies and Areta has experienced struggles in the research process as a result of the September 2010 and February 2011 earthquakes and continued disruption to the region over the past year. Despite this, Areta is positive about her completion goal date of December 2013!
Areta’s research is centred in her artistic practice and attempts to create a comprehensive discussion of contemporary jewellery practice that is embedded in whakapapa (genealogies) from Te Waipounamu.
This project will contextualise personal adornment (jewellery) and narrative as statements of collective identity anchored in Te Ao Ngai Tahu (a Ngai Tahu/Māori worldview). The project intends to investigate and articulate a Māori framework for New Zealand
contemporary jewellery practice that represents a distinctive method of conceiving and making, unique to Aotearoa New Zealand.
Her supervisors are Professor Robert Jahnke (School of Māori Studies, Te Putahia Toi), Associate Professor Huia Tomlins Jahnke (Te Uru Māraurau) and Dr Bronwyn Campbell (School of Māori Studies, Te Putahia Toi).
Areta is keen ‘to make a positive contribution to both Ngāi Tahu and the arts community.’ This project is an artistic journey, which has already revealed insights and wisdoms from the whānau, hapū, iwi and wider community.

Te Makao is currently the
Apiha Māori at the PPTA. Her previous roles included being a teacher and a policy analyst in education, which is where her passion for Māori education and politics has been shaped.
Her research investigates Kaupapa Māori approaches to leadership that could assist secondary school principals and teachers to foster an environment to facilitate more appropriately, the learning and teaching of Māori students who are attending mainstream secondary schools and kaupapa Māori schools in Aotearoa/New Zealand leadership that is adaptable for mainstream and kaupapa Māori schools. Te Makao's supevisors are Dr Marian Court (School of Educational Studies), Associate Professor Claire McLachlan (School of Arts, Development and Health Education) and Professor
Wally Penetito (Faculty of Education, Victoria University of Wellington).
Te Makao is a whānau person, the importance of education resonates within her family, “My late husband and I had always believed it was important for me to document some of my educational experiences and knowledge, and to continue to pursue the best possible outcomes for our Māori students and whānau. My hope is that our sons will in time produce mokopuna and at a very personal level I am keen to remain in education to nurture our future kākano”.

There are a number of Māori academic staff within Massey
University, including our Professoriate Group, who are
experienced in supervising Māori doctoral candidates from a
range of disciplines. Considering a supervisor to guide and
advise you on your doctoral journey is an important part of the
process and should take into account things like your research
interests aligning with that of a potential supervisor, selecting a
supervisor who is able to commit to you the time needed for
supervision and someone who you can get on with. This process
is best discussed with Post Graduate Programme Coordinator
within School and/or Colleges. If you plan to undertake research
with Māori whānau or communities and would like some
guidance on this, Te Rau Whakaara advisors can direct you to an
appropriate staff member.
