 COVER
STORY
Staying focused
For six years Bryn Evans and camera have traversed the globe. MASSEY Feature
States of the Nation
In the first of an ongoing series, MASSEY looks
at some of the ways New Zealand is changing.
Population change
Over the next decade the populations of some New Zealand regions will burgeon
while others will shrink. Why is this happening and what are the implications?
Families
The traditional nuclear family is being overtaken by other
arrangements.
Ethnicity
Extraordinary changes are under way in New Zealand’s mix of cultures
and ethnicities.
The researchers
MASSEY Thoughts
Why
there’s nothing wrong with
being popular
At least where the writing of history is concerned, writes popular
historian Professor Kerry Howe.
‘Them’ and ‘us’
New Zealand is deeply ambivalent about immigration, writes
Anne Henderson. We need to sort ourselves out.
Helping out
Every year New Zealand spends almost a quarter of a billion dollars
on overseas aid. We need to make sure it is well spent, writes
Professor John Overton.
MASSEY Research
Catching
some rays
Professor David Officer is leading the Nanomaterials Centre in
a quest to harness solar power cheaply.
Unto the
third and fourth generation
Professor Hugh Blair is looking at whether the quality of nutrition
the ewe has during its youth affects the quality of her offspring
and, potentially, their offspring. It is research that could have
implications well beyond farming.
Surveys in the dock
Professor Janet Hoek often finds herself called on as an expert
witness when surveys are produced as evidence.
An entrepreneurial expert
Entrepreneurship is not restricted to business, finds Professor
Anne de Bruin.
Thinking small - nanotech becomes hot
MASSEY Alumni notes and news

the difference

Learning
to love dandelions
Botanist Dame Ella Campbell,
whose name is now carried by Massey’s herbarium,
will long be remembered by her students and colleagues
