New Olympic Sports
BODY:
Kathryn Ryan talks to Dr Holly Thorpe from Waikato University about the new sports announced for inclusion in the 2020 Olympics - Karate, Softball, Baseball and Sport Climbing.
EXTENDED BODY:
Kathryn Ryan talks to Dr Holly Thorpe from Waikato University about the new sports announced for inclusion in the 2020 Olympics - karate, softball, baseball, skateboarding, surfing and sport climbing.
Read an edited excerpt from their interview below:
Tell us about the inclusion of these sports and what that might mean for women at the Olympics.
The inclusion of these new sports is all part of what is called ‘Agenda 2020’ which came about with the new president of the IOC, Thomas Bark and it’s really about trying to shake-up the Olympic games and recognising that they need to change to be more flexible, more innovative and youth-focussed. Part of the Agenda 2020 is to help the Olympic games reach gender equity, so, 50/50 across all sports. Bringing these new sports in help with that gender equity because each of these sports will have equal numbers of men and women. So, some of those sports that have come in in the past have more men competing in them than women, so moving these sports in is actually part of IOC trying to move towards gender equity.
There has been a change in the images that we see in popular culture of physically strong women and that not being a negative or some kind of a judgement on their femininity. Is it a generational change in every way that you have been part of influencing?
A lot of my research has been around social media and these new sports. In our household and a lot of households across New Zealand and the world, the world surfing tour is really popular on Sky and paid television and the internet. The female surfers are getting some pretty good coverage on there, they’ve got some female commentators there as well and really they are out there kicking butt. Some of them do have that femininity that Toni was talking about but some of them don’t and they are getting celebrated for their athleticism and their commitment to the sport. So we are seeing some interesting changes in some of these sports.
It’s a funny word to use – femininity - isn’t it these days? There are so many things that you could build around that in conversation. But essentially, it’s fine to be female and physical. It seems to have been this long-term battle and certainly when women were finally allowed to play sports it was only some sports.
I think that is a really good point, and I think that it is not just fine to be feminine and athletic, it’s actually better to feminine and athletic according to sponsors and journalists. Those are the women who get the most coverage, those are the women who get paid the most and in a way that’s a bit of a shame, because the women who don’t look a particular way, who don’t fit that traditional femininity, don’t get as much coverage. For example in surfing, Alana Blanchard, who is an amazing surfer, but also a bikini model, she is the most highly paid female surfer, but she’s not really on the tour anymore and she’s not competing. It’s a bit of a shame that that still seems to outweigh female athleticism.
This is my point about these new sports. The definitions of what is feminine can be completely differently represented by these kick-ass women. They are in many ways, a very different model than what you will see on television or areas of popular culture. It’s about broadening the concepts and allowing these differences to be represented on a very large stage.
Absolutely. If we see female skateboarders at the Olympics, we’re going to see a different kind of femininity being celebrated there and that is just awesome because that gives young girls growing up a whole lot of different varieties of being a female athlete. When we see skateboarding at the Olympics, which has traditionally been a young, male-dominated sport, I think that’s an area we’re going to see some real changes in the gender dynamics and ratios of that sport because parents are going to see women skateboarding at the Olympics, little girls are going to see women skateboarding at the Olympics and are going to go, ‘Hey, let’s do that!’ We are already seeing a rise in women in skateboarding and some really powerful women in the sport really struggling to make space and some powerful changes. But I think with the Olympics inclusion and the visibility of these female athletes, we’re going to see a real boom in women in skateboarding.

EXTENDED BODY:
What are New Zealand values? And is there such a thing as the New Zealand national character?
Why does the tide appear to be turning against migrants in many countries around the world, towards closed borders, and a harking back to the "good old days”?
Professor James Liu is the head of Massey University's School of Psychology is a Chinese-American New Zealander.
He was born in Taiwan, the son of mainland Chinese parents, who he calls the “flotsam and jetsam” of the Chinese civil war.
His father was a Chinese philosopher, the family moving to Southern Illinois in the 1960s.
Professor Liu moved to this country more than 20 years ago, where New Zealand's bi-cultural backbone struck him as a cornerstone of the kiwi way.
His research is in cross-cultural, social and political psychology as well as global consciousness and the influence of the digital age.

Dr Claire Meehan from the University of Auckland's School of Sociology is researching what young people do on-line, what sites they visit, their views on pornography and sexting, focussing on 14 and 15-year-olds.
EXTENDED BODY:
We know quite young children are sexting and watching pornography online but are we doing enough to protect them?
Digital natives might not see some of their on-line behaviour, including sending nude or semi-nude pictures of themselves as risky until these pictures get circulated in cyberspace.
And when this happens the victim is often blamed, making it hard for them to seek help.

After his grandfather died Manuel realised his Te Reo was getting pretty rusty so he decided to speak the language exclusively - one day a week.
He says it has improved his skills, and would love to see businesses like cafes or petrol stations where he could interact with them in Māori.
Manuel talks to Jesse Mulligan from Whangarei.
Read an abridged version of their conversation
What sparked this?
Well, I didn’t actually grow up speaking Māori, so I went to study it for a couple of years so I could converse with my grandfather. But once he passed away I found I wasn’t using it at all really, only when I would go surfing up in Ahipara I would have a conversation with his brother. And the only other place I would use it [is when] I play in a punk band and we play a couple of songs in Te Reo so I was sort of losing [the language]. So I thought this would be a great way to practice and get other people on board.
So what does this look like? It’s every Monday. Are you using it at home?
I use it everywhere really, everywhere I go.
What do people make of you?
A lot of confusion. I’ve been using a lot of hand signals and things like that. It was a bit overwhelming when I first did it and I was quite quiet about the whole thing and quite shy about it. Not it’s grown I’m pretty confident and most people can get what I’m trying to get across.
Do you go into shops speaking Te Reo?
Yeah, I do. So I go into the bakery so I might say “kopaki kiko maku” which means “meat pie for me”. And to be honest they don’t really understand so I point to it. I haven’t really worked out how to say mochachino in Māori yet, but I’m getting there.
What about your family? What do they make of it?
They’re super supportive. They were really frustrated at the start because they couldn’t really understand me, but they’ve really taken it on board. My wife even went and did a Te Reo course for a year so it would help her to understand me. The kids have really taken it on board. It’s really easy these days because of technology you can get a translator app on your phone which is really good. So the kids just tease each other in Te Reo now, which is great.
Have you got to the point that you have started thinking in Māori on your Te Reo days?
I think a lot more in Māori now and I think that’s been one of the hardest things for me is that when I’m trying to talk in Māori I always try and translate it to, or from English in my head.

Climate Kit - when technology meets climate action
BODY:
Sara Dean and Beth Ferguson are American designers whose projects include using Twitter to help Jakarta residents know about floods, and creating accessible solar charging stations.
EXTENDED BODY:
American designers Sara Dean and Beth Ferguson’s work involves everything from mobile phones and solar technology, to climate change and civil emergencies.
Their vision is to use design and technology to develop resilient communities and encourage a debate about climate change.
The pair has been in residence at the Otago Museum for the past month as part of Climate Kit, a project commissioned by ZERO1 American Arts Incubator.
SolarPump electric charging stations
Solar energy is a recurring theme in Beth’s work. Through Sol Design she has created public solar electric charging stations that she hopes will help people re-imagine the future of transportation and help the move to carbon-free cities.
The SolarPump Electric Charging Station combines a 1950s Citgo gas pump, which has been modified with a LED display that shows the power output of solar panels mounted on the roof.
Beth says anyone can walk up and charge a cellphone, laptop, or even an electric bike or scooter – for free.
The SolarPump has been installed on campus at Stanford University, and appears at events such as music festivals.
Beth says the SolarPump would also be an ideal community resource following a civil emergency such as an earthquake.
Beth works at Sol Design Lab and the University of California Davis.
Peta Jakarta
Sara’s work also involves emergency response. She is part of the team that developed Peta Jakarta, which uses tweets from Jakarta residents to identify city areas affected by floods. She says when people tweet the word ‘peta’ – flood – they are asked to give more information about what is happening in their neighbourhood.
Jakarta has more Twitter users than anywhere else in the world.
The Jakarta Government now uses the information from Peta Jakarta to gather, sort, and display information about flooding for Jakarta residents in real time. It also works at a neighbourhood level, with locals able to find out from each other where, for example, they might be able to cross a flooded street.
Sara works at the California College of Art and at Stamen Design in San Francisco.
Emergency emojis
Sara has developed an idea for emergency emojis, which she has dubbed ‘emerjis’. Emojis are symbols such as smiley faces used in social media.
Sara and Beth think a universal language of emergency symbols, such as earthquake, would help eliminate language barriers between local residents and international disaster relief teams that often communicate in English.
Climate Kit in Dunedin
The four Climate Kit community projects that Sara and Beth have been involved with in Dunedin are:
Bones and Stones: a “field guide” for New Zealand geology, including two enlarged “core samples” showing the geologic long-view of the environment.
Shedding Some Light: a project that examines the proposed lighting solutions for high-efficiency street lighting and “dark skies” proposals for the town to be able to enjoy the Aurora Australis by limiting light pollution.
Youth Community Map: focusing on climate change resiliency and vulnerable sites near the Tahuna School in South Dunedin.
Living Map: a data-enabled relief map of the Dunedin area for community conversation about the past, present, and future geography of this vulnerable coastal city.
The Climate Kit exhibition is on at Otago Museum from 6-16 August 2016.

A conservation summit on Predator Free NZ 2050
BODY:
Three leading eradication experts talk about Predator Free New Zealand 2050, including the social aspects of engaging communities and the need to develop new tools to better control rats, stoats and possums.
EXTENDED BODY:
The New Zealand Government has thrown its support behind a radical idea: saving our native biodiversity by declaring war on predators. So are we looking at a future where hihi and tuatara can safely roam the mainland forest once more?
Andrea Byrom, from Landcare Research, is Director of the Biological Heritage National Science Challenge. James Russell is a biologist from the University of Auckland. Peter McClelland is an eradication expert, who led the rat eradication on subantarctic Campbell Island. They talk about the importance of ‘social license’ and getting community support, and share their thoughts on what will be needed to make New Zealand predator-free.
