Andrew Pawley obituary for Bruce Biggs
"He developed, at Auckland, the first university programme in the study of Maori language and literature, wrote the pioneering textbooks for it, and trained the people who later went on to head Maori studies programmes at other New Zealand universities.

He initiated the first programme in modern linguistics in New Zealand and was co-founder of the Linguistic Society of New Zealand. "

You will see from the style the eNews consists largely of links.

Our preferred form is a few lines at most, with a link or an email contact for further information.

At a pinch we may self-host longer documents to link in the eNews, but they must be submitted as pdf or word documents as attachments to emails. They need some processing so there may be a delay in their being used.

If you are running a conference, we will usually run a link once only - and if you don't have a website for it yet, then please tell us when you have. 

Relevant job advertisements are welcome - there is no charge.
