An international scoping review on inclusive education from multiple perspectives
A human rights approach to inclusive education acknowledges that every learner has a fundamental right to access educational opportunities. For this scoping review, inclusion is defined from an occupational perspective as a concern with what people do together. The purpose of the study was to investigate the ways people can act to influence inclusion from the viewpoint of children, under the age of 18, parents, classroom and therapy staff and oth…

Celebrating Ann Wilcock
Dr. Ann Allart Wilcock (née Ellison) made outstanding contributions to occupational science, as a new discipline, and to the century old profession of occupational therapy. In celebrating that legacy, we are calling for action with research advancing three important ‘themes’ with global relevance that we see in Wilcock’s work. First, she was a world pioneer in expanding awareness and empirical knowledge of the occupational nature of humans, that …
La justicia ocupacional como justicia social
La justicia ocupacional por lo general se considera un aspecto de la justicia social, una perspectiva filosófica que tradicionalmente pone énfasis en el trato respetuoso de las personas y la distribución equitativa de los recursos de la sociedad. Los enfoques contemporáneos destacan la necesidad de reconocer tanto las diferencias entre las personas como lo que estas son capaces de hacer y ser, más que lo que reciben. Esta presentación analiza si …

Occupation in context
When occupational science was introduced as a new field of scholarship, the environment was conceptualised consistent with broad assumptions of the day as a space where people function and over which they achieve mastery. Categorised as natural, and thus deserving protection, or artificial, it inevitably presented challenges to which people would respond. Consistent with understandings that the environment is a secular reality, human-environment …
Doing, being, becoming, and belonging
Transitions are a normal part of life, affecting people’s identity and life course. Evidence supports the idea that there is a significant occupational impact on people who experience sudden and unexpected transitions associated with life threatening illness. This interpretive description study explored the occupational impact of transitioning from bowel cancer patient to survivor for individuals living in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Qualitative interv…

The ways poverty influences a tamaiti/child’s patterns of participation
Much is known about the negative experiences and long-term effects of persistent poverty on the health and well-being of tamariki/children. What is less well understood is how poverty affects their participation in and patterns of occupation. There appears to be a transactional relationship between poverty, health, and occupation that is complex, with child poverty associated with risk of occupational deprivation. However, evidence to support the…
Readying for Reunification
In 2019, 33,523 North Korean refugees were granted citizenship and lived in South Korea. There is growing concern that rather than guaranteeing participation, their citizenship is associated with marginalization, alienation, and isolation. Guided by an occupational science perspective and Straussian grounded theory, this study explored how they participate in society through engaging in everyday activities using 10 semi‐structured interviews that…
Showers
In the early nineteenth century, physicians designed the first manufactured showers for the purpose of curing the insane. Sustained falls of cold water were prescribed to cool hot, inflamed brains, and to instil fear to tame impetuous wills. By the middle of the century showers had appeared in both asylums and prisons, but shower-related deaths led to their decline. Rather than being abandoned, however, the shower was transformed by the use of wa…
The stories of North Korean refugees settling in South Korea
As of March 2017, 30,490 North Korean refugees resided in South Korea, with numbers growing each year. There is growing concern that feelings of alienation and isolation seem to be key features of their lives. Using an occupational perspective, this study aimed to explore how they participate in South Korean society. Grounded theory methodology guided data-gathering, through 10 semi-structured interviews conducted in South Korea, and data analysi…

Relaunching teaching occupation
Almost 3 years ago, Hocking (2016) introduced a special section on Teaching Occupation in the Journal of Occupational Science. As she noted, two of the main driving forces to include this section were Florence Clark’s (2006) advocacy, as a founder of occupational science in the USA, to actually teach occupation if we hope to fulfill the promise of this science and guard against its fragmentation and Ann Wilcock’s educational vision as founder of …

The challenge of occupation
This article proposes that to fulfil the vision of the founders of the discipline, occupational scientists must develop a new strand of research and scholarship dedicated to generating knowledge of occupation itself, rather than people's engagement in it. The goal is to inform both occupational science and therapy by providing knowledge of the occupations people strive to engage in and their impact and importance. Such investigations would encomp…
Using Occupation to Navigate Cultural Spaces
Indian immigrant women settling in New Zealand encounter new environments and occupational situations. How they navigate these situations either facilitates and enhances the experience of being in a new environment or challenges the process of settling and becoming part of New Zealand society. This study describes the significance of engagement in occupation as central to the settlement process. In-depth interviews and participant observations we…
The Meaning of Cooking and Recipe Work for Older Thai and New Zealand Women
In spite of disparate cultural knowledge and beliefs, and diversity of individual practices, the food‐centred occupations of older New Zealand and Thai women share common meanings. When women talk about preparing, sharing and giving foods at Christmas and Songkran, their stories uncover dimensions of meaning that span time and geography. The meanings encompass the symbolism of celebratory food, transmission of tradition and recipes from grandmoth…
Having and using objects in the western world
This interpretive study explores how Western people construct self and express identity though the objects they acquire, make and use in their day‐to‐day occupation. Drawing on literature from psychology, consumer research, sociology, anthropology, disability studies and popular literature, it proposes that people use objects to reflect self and identity, and to transform self and others. Using a history of ideas methodology, the author argues th…

A model of interaction between objects, occupation, society, and culture
This article explores the meaning of objects, as they are used within occupation. It charts the evolution of objects and occupation over history, with reference to the evolution of human capacities to use objects. It is proposed that objects, occupations, society, and culture form an open system, in which all elements interact and influence each other. This interaction is illustrated with examples drawn from anthropology, history, sociology, psyc…

Occupational experiences of Korean immigrants settling in New Zealand
For Korean immigrants, settling in New Zealand is challenging and stress-inducing. There is growing concern that feelings of alienation and loss seem to be key features in their lives. Taking the symbolic interactionism perspective that people interpret a situation through social interaction, the purpose of this study was to explore how Korean immigrants interact with their new environment, whilst re-negotiating their reality. A grounded theory m…

Occupational justice as social justice
Occupational justice is typically framed as an aspect of social justice, a philosophical perspective that has traditionally emphasised treating people with respect and equitable distribution of societal resources. Contemporary views emphasise acknowledging difference and what people have the capability to do and be, rather than what they receive. This presentation questioned whether working towards occupational justice can contribute to realising…
Person‐object interaction model
This article explores the occupational use of everyday objects. It draws on current thinking within psychology, sociology, occupational therapy, and anthropology, to describe how actual and symbolic interaction with objects contributes to the development of human capacities and skills, and supports the development and maintenance of routine patterns of occupation. It proposes that objects are ascribed meaning through a process of symbolic interac…

Inductive analysis revealed two groups of inter-related themes. The first group focused on the nature of routines and comprised four themes,…
The interconnected meanings of occupation
While a range of literature has explored the meaning of occupation, the lived experience of occupation has been relatively neglected. In this hermeneutic phenomenological study 12 New Zealand adults who had experienced a disruption to their occupations were interviewed, on the assumption that disruption reveals things that are usually overlooked. The data were analysed by identifying key themes and engaging in a hermeneutic process informed by th…

Communities with participation-enabling skills
Many ideas about participation in rehabilitation literature focus inwards towards individuals, or individuals and their family, acting in but apart from their environment. Authors position individuals as “participating in” occupations or social settings, or point towards the outcomes for those who do or do not participate. This perspective arguably contributes to occupational injustices, hampering positive change. Literature has not furnished a b…
