The editors would like to thank the faculty committees for Research and Scholarship as well as the institution’s committee for Research and Development for their generous support in launching this project.

Junctures aims to engage discussion across boundaries, whether these be disciplinary or geographic. It is concerned with views surrounding issues of location, isolation, creativity and ingenuity. With New Zealand and its Pacific neighbours as a backdrop, but not its only stage, Junctures seeks to address the matters which concern people in their environment and daily life. Junctures is organised around thematic foci which allow the convergence of disciplines around a nominated topic.
