Kia ora from New Zealand Taurus.
I just came across your blog through a Google Alert. I thought you might be able to make use of my website. My name is Tony Ward, I have a PhD in Architecture from the University of Auckland (NZ). I retired a year ago.
I have more than 40 years experience of teaching at the best Universities on three continents (including UC, Berkeley in the US). For 20 years I worked as a senior lecturer at the University of Auckland School of Architecture, also running a Community Design Studio programme, finishing my PhD in Critical Education Theory, and working mostly in the Maori community.
During most of my academic career I developed a specific form of Critical pedagogy for my design studio. Students worked collectively and co-operatively on real-world design projects for clients who would not otherwise have been able to afford professional design fees. The pedagogy was student-centred and controlled, as was the evaluation process. Over twenty years they were responsible for many million dollars-worth of design project work.
I left the University of Auckland six years ago, with a Distinguished Teaching Award, and was recruited to one of the three Maori Universities (Wananga) in NZ to work as their Director of Academic Programme Development and at the same time teaching Critical Theory and Contemporary Cultural Studies in the Teacher Education Degree programme. I was also the only non-Maori senior member of the academic staff. While I was there I was responsible for the creation and accreditation of five new degree programmes: Media Studies, Art and Visual Culture, Maori Nursing, Matauranga Maori (Maori Knowledge Systems), Early Childhood Education (Immersion Maori language), as well as many sub-degree programmes (Maori Tourism, Business Studies, Maori Performing Arts, etc.) All of these programmes were founded upon principles of Tinorangatiratanga – that is, Maori Sovereignty and Independence. As you can imagine, it was a stimulating time, and gave me some very useful insights into my own disciplines (Design, Critical theory and Cultural Studies).
Since retirement, I have developed a website as a free educational resource, aimed at passing on the knowledge and experience that I have gleaned from forty years of practicing Critical Pedagogy. The website comprises more than 60 free and fully-illustrated downloadable PDFs in a range of disciplines covering issues such as::
Critical Theory Critical Practice Critical Pedagogy
Cultural Studies Colonisation Postcolonialism
Postmodernism Hegemony/Education Critical Psychology
Critical Design Critical Aesthetics Critical Health
Critical Tourism Indigenous Studies Critical Education
Critical Rationality Critical Urbanism Critical Sustainability
Sustainable Community Critical Space Ideology and Design
Ethnic Cleansing and Urban Design...... And much more.
There are also several downloadable bibliographies and glossaries (since much of the literature is seen as impenetrable) as well as numerous useful links. The URL is:

My only request is that visitors to the site leave comments in the “Contact” page so that I can gauge its effectiveness and make ongoing improvements.
Best wishes and many thanks for your informative blog
