She is currently completing her thesis in Film, Television and Media Studies on war and nationalism in American splatter horror films. Her thesis is on the 78% rise in US box office horror profits between 2003 –2006, driven by ultraviolent films such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Hostel, Saw and The Hills Have Eyes. Featuring dismemberment, decapitation, disembowelment, the sudden popularity of these films was read widely by critics as reflecting an unconscious response within American culture to the occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq. These films, known as ‘splatter films’ and later as ‘torture porn’, represent a wave of independent cinema that took the Hollywood industry by surprise, with films that had initially not been intended for mainstream release outranking Disney in the box office. With their iconography of the abbattoir, the rusting automobile, the torture machine and the deserted factory, these films challenged the image of an America that had triumphed through progress and democracy. Many of the films directly referenced events in the war, such as the hooded victims of director Eli Roth’s 2005 film Hostel. In an environment where the Bush administration banned even the showing of coffins on the news, the splatter film became an important avatar for discussing the limits and boundaries of state violence in American culture.

A cochlear implant is a bionic system that can restore hearing in some people who are deaf. In healthy ears, sensitive cells respond to sound by sending electrical signals along nerve pathways to the brain. If the ear is damaged, but the nerve pathways are intact, an array of electrodes – a cochlear implant - can be surgically inserted into the ear to stimulate the nerves directly. The system is coarser than natural hearing but can have a dramatic affect on peoples’ lives. The Northern Cochlear Implant Programme, which supports adults who have a cochlear implant or are waiting for one, is based at the University of Auckland Clinics at Tamaki Campus. David works with people attending the clinics who are willing to participate in research. Along with other researchers he has studied how well people with a cochlear implant can localize sound. He also hopes to study how waiting for an implant affects peoples’ lives, and how the implants can affect the lives of ‘significant others’.

And he’s not about to rest on his laurels, spending the summer break at the Australian National University on a summer research scholarship. Meanwhile Max has clocked up an enviable academic record in his four years of study, gaining straight A pluses in all but one Arts paper (for which he received an A) and nothing less than an A in Law (with three A pluses). A mixture of debating — his major activity outside study — and scholarly prowess brought about his extensive globetrotting in 2009 as well as in previous years. It started in January when he was part of the two-person University of Auckland team which competed at the World Universities Debating Championship in Cork, Ireland. The duo reached the octo-finals (the first of the knock-out rounds) while Max was ranked twenty-second in the world. At the Australasian Intervarsity Debating Championships ("Australs") in Melbourne in July he represented The University of Auckland. His team got to the octo-finals and he was judged seventh best speaker. Recently he was elected President of the University’s Debating Society “which is very exciting”. One of his “top moments of the year” was attending the 39th St Gallen Symposium in Switzerland in May with a top Chemistry student from Auckland. This prestigious event brings together entrepreneurs, top managers, politicians, academics, decision-makers and students to discuss key business and political issues. Max was among 200 students chosen to attend the symposium on the basis of an essay competition which 1000 entered. In October he represented the University at the Universitas 21 Undergraduate Research Conference in Glasgow. There he delivered a paper examining whether courts in New Zealand should have the power to declare formally that legislation is inconsistent with the Bill of Rights Act.  He has been ultra-busy across the legal front, notably as a senior editor for the Auckland University Law Review. “It's great that we have a student-run journal, and I've really enjoyed this.”   Max has also been involved with the Equal Justice Project, working to establish a project for student volunteers to help out in prisons.  In addition he has fitted in some paid part-time work doing research for the Dean of Law, Professor Paul Rishworth, and for former Supreme Court Justice Sir Edmund “Ted” Thomas QC, (former Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Law Faculty). “Ted is an amazingly friendly and clever man, who constantly combines generosity and empathy with intellect. The faculty is so lucky to have him around, and he gives up so much time for students.”   He has also done citation-checking work for the New Zealand Law Review, working alongside Law Faculty academics Hanna Wilberg and Chris Hare. As for his purely academic work, Max finished his Arts degree this year, majoring in Political Studies and History. He completed some interesting Law electives, including papers on rights and freedoms under Professor Paul Rishworth, international economic regulation with Professor Jane Kelsey, counter-terrorism law with John Ip, judicial review with Hanna Wilberg, and Islamic law taught by Mohsen al Attar.  In his Law compulsories he enjoyed jurisprudence “taught excellently” by Dr Richard Ekins and Valmaine Toki.  “Perhaps most interesting this year has been my Law Honours seminar on public law, led by Professor Bruce Harris.  Every week we met and discussed interesting issues in modern public law: in the first semester we covered topical areas (like the role of judges and the constitutional future of New Zealand) selected by Bruce, and in the second semester we have had student seminars from members of the class, which has been fantastic.” Next year he hopes to get some of his writing published. “ I will be pushing for my honours work and any other pieces I have time to pull together.” How does Max manage to fit in such enormous range of pursuits — student and party politics are but two others — while keeping well on top of his studies? “At times it's difficult squeezing it all in,” he says, “but I try to plan in advance, work hard, and have very supportive friends.” On completing his conjoint degrees in 2010 Max plans to apply for a judge's clerkship as well as a range of postgraduate scholarships. “I would love to study somewhere like Oxford or Cambridge, although the States is also attractive with its range of public intellectuals — people like Ronald Dworkin and Jeremy Waldron — and courses on contemporary topics, like counter-terrorism and law and economics.” What kind of career does he have in mind? “I enjoy grappling with big-picture issues: the design of our constitution, the relationship of courts and Parliament, the division between public and private law. I think academia would offer this opportunity to embrace these conceptual dilemmas, but so would politics.  “I also want to do a job that involves dealing with and talking to real people: that is how I learn things, and that is what I want to be doing.” As a Wellingtonian and dux of Wellington College, Max is in no doubt that he was wise to opt for The University of Auckland. “It's offered me some amazing international opportunities and in the last couple of years I have had the privilege of working closely with several fantastic academics. It is great when students and academics can work alongside one another, and Auckland encourages this — particularly later in one's degree.” Ireland, Australia, Switzerland, Scotland — BA/LLB(Hons) student Max Harris has packed in an impressive amount of international travel this year.

Her research involves developing therapies to delay or prevent the onset of age-related cataract – the world’s leading cause of blindness. Cataract surgery is an effective treatment but as our population ages, demand for the surgery is expected to exceed limited public health resources. Alternative medical therapies are required to prevent or delay cataract development to reduce the need for, and expense of, surgical intervention. A potential therapy is the antioxidant cysteine, a small amino acid that protects the lens against oxidative damage. In the normal lens, high levels of cysteine are present in both the outer cortex and nucleus (centre) of the lens. With increasing age, cysteine levels decline in the lens nucleus, exposing this region to free radical damage. It follows that restoring or enhancing cysteine levels will reverse the age-dependent decline in antioxidant levels, reduce the need for expensive surgical intervention, and alleviate the pending cataract epidemic.

As an area of company law it is among the least accessible from the governing statute (the Companies Act 1993). Behind the statute is a long and complex history of equitable and common law case law, most of which remains applicable in New Zealand. This book, published by LexisNexis late last year, is centred on New Zealand law, but makes extensive comparative reference to UK and Australian law. In addition, the book draws on academic literature from the United States where corporate law scholarship has been a major focus for about 20 years. The principles of agency law form the focus of the study of directors' powers, along with the division of power between shareholders and directors. The duties covered include the duties of care and skill, duties to shareholders, the duty to act for proper purpose and in the company’s best interests, and not to profit from position. The book also deals with the status of director, division of power between directors and shareholders, conflicts of interest, directors’ duties outside company law, and the effect of insolvency on directors’ duties.

Behind the statute is a long and complex history of equitable and common law case law, most of which remains applicable in New Zealand. This book, published by LexisNexis late last year, is centred on New Zealand law, but makes extensive comparative reference to UK and Australian law. In addition, the book draws on academic literature from the United States where corporate law scholarship has been a major focus for about 20 years. The principles of agency law form the focus of the study of directors' powers, along with the division of power between shareholders and directors. The duties covered include the duties of care and skill, duties to shareholders, the duty to act for proper purpose and in the company’s best interests, and not to profit from position. The book also deals with the status of director, division of power between directors and shareholders, conflicts of interest, directors’ duties outside company law, and the effect of insolvency on directors’ duties.

He is interested in the use of ICT in teaching and learning in education. In school: He looks at whether ICT can be used a catalyst for social and higher order cognitive engagement in classrooms; or whether its use makes no difference at all. He says e-learning might seem like the modern thing to do, but an important question is how much of what is called elearning may just be trying to keep up with the Jones’? At tertiary level: John is interested in the role of social media and social networking in learning, and whether it has a beneficial role in tertiary study. With the rise of new technologies, one question that is being asked is ‘should students have to come to University at all, or can they just sit at home and learn 'at the computer'? There is a drive in higher education to ‘blend’ the emerging digital world with the lecture theatre. John questions whether students actually want to use Facebook and YouTube in their courses. Several educators suggest that many aspects of students’ digital lives should be left at the door when they enter University. John argues it is often more complicated than any fixed postions or slogans we might hear. Mobile learning: The next big thing is tipped to be “mobile learning”, when students are connected with their laptops, smartphones and PDAs to course materials, lecturers their classmates, and indeed much wider communities. Is this the way to go? This provides a contemporay ‘topic’ in which to consider what might work and what would be more like packaging old practices in new skins.

A major component of her work focuses on the Australasian gannet colony at Cape Kidnappers. She recently showed that, contrary to the long-held belief the birds form pair-bonds for life, the rate of divorce and re-partnering at the colony is higher than amongst humans. But the birds that divorced and found new partners had less success raising a chick compared with those that kept a former mate. Their behaviour suggests that birds must balance the benefits of waiting for a former mate to arrive at the colony against losing the opportunity to breed altogether. Steffi has also examined the nesting behaviour of males and females, and has observed major changes in breeding success at the colony from one season to the next.

These drugs are activated in hypoxic cancer cells, but not in well oxygenated healthy cells. This design allows the treatment to be focused on the cancer itself, thereby avoiding the side effects of harming normal tissues. One of the lead compounds Drs Smaill and Patterson have developed shows very good pre-clinical activity in resistant non-small cell lung cancer, and they hope it will become the next big thing in lung cancer chemotherapy. The pair join Mike in Studio to discuss their work and take a look at the cancer issue as a whole - is their anything that can be done to prevent it?

Phil is interested in the inability of experimental physicists, despite huge effort and expense, to observe some of the particles that are thought to make up our universe, such as quarks, gluons, and the so-called ‘God particle’ being sought by the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland. While these particles have been proposed by theoretical physicists – and are required to make their theories work – no experiment has ever been able to detect them. In an essay submitted for The Royal Society of New Zealand Manhire Prize for Creative Science Writing, called ‘Physics by seven-tentacled beings’, Phil argues that perhaps we need to reconsider our theories. He says that physics is in danger if scientists ignore or downplay the experimental data because they do not fit with the theories of the day. World Space week runs from the 4-10 October 2009.

Yes, Rhys has a military background and currently lives in the bushlands area of NZ's North Island, and he is the driving force behind some as-yet unannounced Cryptid Factor expeditions.

Tip of the iceberg, mate. All those times when you think he's prancing around Hollywood -- wait til you see the forthcoming DVD series of what he's REALLY been up to.
