Linking Wage to Well-Being
Humanitarian Work Psychology (HWP) has challenged historical claims that wage and wellbeing are barely connected. Contradicting SDGs 1, 3, 8, and 10, earlier research prioritized middle-class samples (for whom wage was less salient) and assumed linearity (instead of actually curvilinear poverty traps). Nonetheless, even in HWP research, the wage–wellbeing connection has remained modest. Has HWP overlooked a crucial, proximal mediator between wage…
Experiencias socioeducativas
Aprendiendo Lo Común en El Hacer De La Actividad
A lo largo de un día escolar les niñes vivencian diferentes actividades en el salón de clase, las cuales coproducen los aprendizajes en el devenir de la práctica, al situarlos en diferentes entramados relacionales. En algunas ocasiones los aprendizajes se sitúan en el marco de experiencias individuales, en otras se despliegan en tramas que involucran a más de dos niñes interactuando en la resolución de una misma tarea. En esta presentación nos fo…
Aprendiendo lo “común”. El hacer común como dominio de conocimiento
En esta presentación, nos proponemos analizar, desde un enfoque histórico-etnográfico, el aprendizaje de hacer común que se despliega entre niñes de 6 y 7 años en situaciones de enseñanza escolar en el Municipio de Pinamar, en la Provincia de Buenos Aires. A lo largo de un día escolar, les niñes vivencian diferentes actividades en el salón de clases. En algunas ocasiones, los aprendizajes se sitúan en el marco de experiencias individuales; en otr…
Fostering and sustaining transnational solidarities for transformative social change
As we planned this special issue, the world was in the midst of a pandemic, one which brought into sharp focus many of the pre‐existing economic, social, and climate crises, as well as, trends of widening economic and social inequalities. The pandemic also brought to the forefront an epistemic crisis that continues to decentre certain knowledges while maintaining the hegemony of Eurocentric ways of knowing and being. Thus, we set out to explore t…
Relational ethics meets principled practice in community research engagements to understand and address homelessness
Growing homelessness in Aotearoa New Zealand stems primarily from rising inequalities and poverty. Drawing from scholarship on relational ethics, principled practice and Māori cultural concepts, this paper offers our reflections on nearly two decades of collective work to document and address homelessness. Central to the approach outlined are enduring community partnerships, the cultivation of reciprocal relations, and time spent with homeless pe…
Decolonising Applied Social Psychology
El currículum desde un enfoque antropológico
A partir de un enfoque que se propone; antropologizar los objetos tradicionalmente abordados por la didáctica (Cerletti y Rúa, 2017); abordamos el análisis del currículum, como producto sociocultural e histórico de una determinada sociedad. Este enfoque nos permite sostener que el currículum, las teorías curriculares y los diseños curriculares son una de las prácticas a partir de las cuales una determinada sociedad organiza la transmisión, apropi…
When the Marae Moves into the City
Through processes of colonization, many indigenous peoples have become absorbed into settler societies and new ways of existing within urban environments. Settler society economic, legal, and social structures have facilitated this absorption by recasting indigenous selves in ways that reflect the cultural values of settler populations. Urban enclaves populated and textured by indigenous groups such as Māori (indigenous people of New Zealand) can…
Disrupting being on an industrial scale
The discipline of psychology grew out of European philosophy into a unique discipline that retained reductionist assumptions regarding knowledge production and ways-of-being. Born out of dissatisfaction with the dominance and ineffectiveness of Anglo-European/American assumptions in psychology, and how the discipline obscured culturally unique ways-of-being and producing knowledge, Indigenous scholars are working to decolonize psychology. This ar…
Formação de professores para o ensino de Antropologia no Brasil e na Argentina
A Antropologia enquanto ciência passou a ser sistematizada a partir do século XIX, de tal forma que seus primeiros docentes eram autodidatas nessa área de conhecimento, e ainda que seu ensino estivesse restrito inicialmente às formações universitárias, em alguns países houve experiências pontuais também na Educação Básica. Nesse artigo analisamos a formação de professores para o Ensino de Antropologia no Brasil e na Argentina, considerando os div…
Older Men Gardening on the Marae
Like indigenous peoples globally, Māori are over-represented among the homeless population due to processes of colonialism, disruptions and continued socio-economic marginalization. This article explores how, through gardening and other everyday practices, a group of older Māori men who are homeless find respite, reconnection, a sense of belonging, and remember Māori ways of being. We consider how the regular participation of these men also contr…
Māori and Medications
Chronic illnesses are a feature of many Māori homescapes. These illnesses are often managed at home through the use of health technologies, particularly medications. This article explores the meanings given to medications and the use of this health technology in four Māori households. We use a range of qualitative methods to engage with householders and to document how medications are acculturated into Māori homescapes and everyday lives. From ou…
Māori Men and the Indirect Procurement and Sharing of Prescription Medications
Māori men have higher rates of many diseases and lower life expectancy than other population groups in New Zealand. The general consensus is that these health inequalities are due to the inequitable distribution of the social determinants of health; for example, education, employment, income and housing, and were largely driven by colonization and the social and economic marginalization of Māori. Health care factors, including reluctance to consu…
What Does it Mean to be a Man Today
Psychologists have paid scant attention to the positive relationships and community contributions of working class men who are not in trouble, and have focused instead on men who are ‘in trouble.’ In addressing this oversight, we draw on insights from ethnographic observations, life narrative interviews, photographic techniques and media items, which have been compiled by 12 working class men from a shared community of practice in New Zealand. We…
Media and community anxieties about men's interactions with children
Partially as a response to community concerns related to sexual abuse, men's interactions with other people's children have become highly regulated. This paper documents media deliberations regarding the maintenance of barriers to men's interactions with children. Attention is given to news coverage of an incidence where a man was asked to shift seats on an aircraft due to an airline policy prohibiting men from sitting next to unaccompanied child…
Renewal and resistance
Moko is still here, contrary to the widely held belief that the art and custom of moko—Maori skin adornment—had vanished from New Zealand communities. Over the last two decades an increasingly visible number of Maori have revived and renewed the practice, taking colour into their skin. As an indigenous people, re‐taking moko confronts and refutes the myth of a ‘dying race’. It calls on Maori to recommit to strong Maori identities, customs and tra…
