Winifred Bauer

Winifred Bauer is the J.D. Stout Fellow for 1990. She is working on a more comprehensive reference grammar of Maori with the assistance of a Maori woman consultant Tekareongawai Evans of Te Aopouri. She has published a number of articles in international journals on aspects of the structure of Maori, and her PhD thesis, the material from which is incorporated into the present project, is still in considerable demand by linguists world-wide. She was a Junior Lecturer at the ELl at Victoria for four years, has tutored in the Linguistics Department at Victoria almost every year since 1979, and for three years, taught a course for the Maori Studies Department.

Winifred Bauer completed a grammar of Maori as resident in the Stout Research Centre and has now finished a draft for non-linguists.

Wendy Pond, editor of New Zealand Studies, has a long association with the Stout Centre. She has recently completed a commission from the Waitangi Tribunal to write a background report on the 'Flora and Fauna' claim (Wai 262), titled The Land with All Woods and Waters.

Adrienne Simpson was a Stout Resident in 1989 and 1990, and is working on topics relating to operatic and theatrical history.

She is the editor of Opera in New Zealand: Aspects of History and Performance which is forthcoming, and has made contributions to The New Grove Dictionary of Opera and The International Dictionary of Opera, which are also forthcoming.
