NOT ONLY OUTPUTS, BUT OUTCOMES

Demonstrating academic and research leadership isn't only about published outputs. I produce a valuable mix of both publications and "outcomes" - the effects and changes brought about by research.  Outcomes of what I do are especially seen in relationships with stakeholders, community groups, practitioners. These lead in turn to new opportunities for those relationships to be strengthened.

 

Examples of this include the student learning and research project work with Tom and Mahrukh Stazyk of CUE Haven on The Living Community in 2014. The success of this led directly to a new opportunity for more students to work on a PR project for the Stazyks who were delighted with what the students created, and increased their esteem for Unitec. Other examples of the way research and learning activities can be woven into positive community outcomes are seen in throughout this portfolio. These outcomes are priceless, because the success of an education provider like Unitec Te Pūkenga depends on reciprocity, or giving back. In particular, what are we doing to help build our communities and their aspirations, and build employment sectors? 

 

The kinds of leadership I demonstrate across all areas of my work are not about isolated projects. I'm instinctively drawn to squeezing the most that I can out of all that I do, so there is payoff in several ways across learning, pedagogy, research, practice and service.

INVITED EXPERT

The deep narrative of my research commitment also has breadth. sufficient that I've been an invited expert in the following kinds of ways. I think the first one from 2016  tells a great story about my expertise:

 

  • “The Science Media Centre Story” (please follow the links). I was asked recently by NZ tech guru and science communicator / journalist, Peter Griffin, to comment for his SciBlogs about AUT’s latest World Internet Project report, comment that was then the basis for his NZ Listener column;

  • I was an expert contributor to an emerging Science Communication category at an international conference on Antarctic research. I was invited as a communication expert to join a panel judging the inaugural Science Communication presentations at the international conference of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR), alongside Professor Annie Goldson, Professor of Media, Film and Television at the University of Auckland, and others, in Auckland 2014. This was a creative, slightly light-hearted but serious new category/stream in the SCAR Open Science Conference (OSC). The Science Communication session was an opportunity for conference delegates to enter a project or idea that used compelling communication to convey scientific knowledge. The winner was a University of Tasmania PhD student in Marine Biology, Molly Jia, who had made a ‘stop motion’ animation using simple story principles and techniques, such as character, to show how southern ocean whales depend on krill! Her main character was a female krill called Henrietta. Fascinating! - and great communication. Click to view:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I appreciated being called on to provide input into this important, emerging field that sits between pure science and communication. I also appreciated receiving thanks for this from conference co-convenor Emeritus Scientist Consulting Professor Alan Cooper, from Stanford (view at the link).

 

 

  • In 2011 I was invited by the National Director of Computers in Homes, on behalf of the 2020 Communications Trust which manages it, to Chair the Auckland Computers in Homes Steering Group. I have held this role until 2015.
