<p>Mark Rickerby, a Lecturer in the University of Canterbury’s School of Product Design, explores the concept of enshittification, highlighting the decline in user experience with digital products. He examines how tech giants initially offer excellent services, then commodify users for business clients, and eventually prioritize profits over both. Rickerby considers whether this trend is an inevitable outcome of neoliberal capitalism or shaped by cultural and technological shifts in the 2000s and 2010s. He also discusses potential optimism for the internet’s future and how we might build a healthier digital ecosystem.</p>

<p>Dr. Erin Harrington, Senior Lecturer in the English Department at the University of Canterbury, explores how scary stories, from fairy tales to horror games, shape our lives and memories. Often dismissed as guilty pleasures, these experiences of "recreational fear" may offer surprising benefits. Dr. Harrington investigates how the thrill of fear can help us engage with and reimagine the world in new ways.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>Her academic work on horror media has been featured internationally, and her arts and theatre writing has appeared in publications across Aotearoa.</p>

<p>Kari Moana and Sara, university-based teacher educators and researchers in UC’s Te Kaupeka Ako Faculty of Education, explore the intense debate surrounding mātauranga Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand's science classrooms. As curricular reforms challenge traditional views, critics argue that integrating Indigenous knowledge could dilute "real" science, while supporters say it's long overdue. This discussion delves into whether we're on the verge of an innovative fusion of knowledge systems or entering a new realm of controversy. With expertise in mātauranga Māori, science education, and decolonisation, Kari Moana and Sara examine the transformative possibilities at the intersection of Indigenous knowledge and science in Aotearoa and the Pacific.</p>
