Māori realities, intimacies, and sexual expressions: Reconceptualising consent to uphold kaumātua mana in aged residential care
Increasingly, kaumātua (Māori elders) in Aotearoa (New Zealand) live apart from whānau (Māori extended family) in residential care, where policies are shaped by post-colonial legislation and ethical principles that privilege individual rights over Indigenous priorities and rights. The communal context of residential care has created late-life opportunity for intimacy and sexual expression with new partners. These issues are addressed in the inter…
Intimacy for older adults in long-term care: A need, a right, a privilege—or a kind of care
BACKGROUND: To investigate attitudes of staff, residents and family members in long-term care towards sex and intimacy among older adults, specifically the extent to which they conceptualise sex and intimacy as a need, a right, a privilege or as a component of overall well-being. METHODS: The present study was a part of a two-arm mixed-methods cross-sectional study using a concurrent triangulation design. A validated survey tool was developed; 43…
Palliative Care, Intimacy, and Sexual Expression in the Older Adult Residential Care Context: “Living until You Don’t”
Commonly, frail older adults move to residential care, a liminal space that is their home, sometimes a place of death, and a workplace. Residential facilities typically espouse person-centred values, which are variably interpreted. A critical approach to person-centred care that focuses on social citizenship begins to address issues endemic in diminishing opportunities for intimacy in the end-of-life residential context: risk-averse policies; lim…

The (r)evolution and decolonization of social work ethics: The Global Social Work Statement of Ethical Principles
The approval of the 2014 joint Global Definition of Social Work required that international social work associations review the associated ethical principles of social work. The Global Social Work Statement of Ethical Principles ( GSWSEP) was approved by international social work bodies in Dublin in July 2018. While the previous Statement of Ethics emphasized liberal humanist values common in the European–North American axis, the GSWSEP recognize…
Ethical Underpinnings of Sexuality Policies in Aged Care: Centralising Dignity
This article explores the tacit ethical positions underpinning policies about intimacy and sexuality for residential aged care. We make explicit the wide-ranging ethical positions and assumptions about the personhood of older people that inform these guidelines. This analysis is undertaken to ensure that a rigorous ethical critique informs policies and education. Eight accessible policies from Anglophone nations are analysed. We found that these …
Promoting the dignity and worth of all people: The privilege of social work
The Dame Eileen Younghusband Lecture is presented every two years at the joint world conferences of international social work. In 2016 it was presented in Seoul and was based on the conference theme ‘promoting the dignity and worth of people’. The lecture includes a review of heroes, legal, political and social successes, and challenges for sexual and gender minorities around the world. It challenges the binary of gender and sexuality. The privil…
Queer meaning
This chapter provides a perspective to support social workers in helping clients, families, institutions and policymakers to manage differences associated with being a sexual or gender minority. For many people, both queer and non-queer, the very notion that the authors might talk about religion and spirituality at the same time they consider sexual and gender minorities is epistemologically dissonant. The taxonomy of sexual identity is complex, …

Just Talking About It Opens Your Heart’: Meaning-making among Black African migrants and refugees living with HIV
Meaning-making has emerged as a core construct in addressing trauma, loss or crisis. This paper considers how diasporic Black Africans living with HIV, who come from interdependent collectivist cultures where the norm is one of implicit support, extend their meaning-making strategies when faced with a diagnosis of HIV. In this qualitative study, 13 Black African migrants and refugees living with HIV in New Zealand were interviewed and the transcr…
Living the Dream: Religion in the (Re)Construction of Sexual Identity in Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual New Zealanders
Religion and sexuality have been historically uneasy siblings. This large study (n = 2269) examines the role of religion (or no religion) in the construction and living out of gay, lesbian or bisexual identity in Aotearoa New Zealand. The study confirmed that more women consider spirituality important than do men, but that there is significant movement away from Christianity to No Religion. Christian women attain milestone ages later, and demonst…
Identity Satisfaction Over the Life Course in Sexual Minorities
A variety of models have been proposed to understand the process of coming to terms with a sexual minority identity. What has not been so clearly explored is how an individual's satisfaction with his or her sexual identity develops over the life course. This article explores satisfaction with sexual identity in a large cohort (N = 2,269) of self-identified lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals, and considers satisfaction not only from a chronos (life …
Civilized Unions, Civilized Rights: Same-Sex Relationships in Aotearoa New Zealand
Much research on same-sex relationships has involved comparisons with opposite-sex relationships, often in order to develop frameworks to understand the dynamics of such same-sex relationships, or to demonstrate readiness for legal recognition such as marriage or “civil union.” Civil unions for both same- and opposite-sex couples have been legal in New Zealand since April 2005. A large national study of lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) persons in…
Sexuality, Religion, and Authority: Toward Reframing Estrangement
This paper proposes that the difficulty some religious traditions have with homosexuality represents a crisis of authority within those religions. Sources of religious authority are usually categorized as scripture, tradition, and reason; some traditions add experience. The paper reconstructs the religious debate into a possibly irreconcilable dialogue between closed (tribal) and open (individualistic) societies. Social work, a construction of an…
Lavender Faith: Religion, Spirituality and Identity in Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual New Zealanders
Lavender Islands is the first strengths-based study of lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) persons in New Zealand. In total, 2,269 LGB participants responded questions in many domains, including spirituality and religion. This study found that women are more likely to believe in a spiritual force than men, and respondents 40 years of age and older are more likely than younger to believe in a spiritual force. Respondents did net believe that partners …

You Have to Be Strong to Be Gay”: Bullying and Educational Attainment in LGB New Zealanders
Lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) persons in New Zealand are highly vulnerable to bullying, although bullying appears to have evolved from physical to primarily verbal abuse. Data from the Lavender Islands national study of 2,269 LGBs in New Zealand suggest that coming out early as LGB appears associated with lower levels of educational attainment, which in turn is associated with bullying and verbal assault. LGBs with higher educational attainment…
Lavender Islands: The New Zealand Study
Lavender Islands: Portrait of the Whole Family is the first national strengths-based study of lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) people in New Zealand. The 133-item survey was made available both by website and paper copy from April to July 2004. Multidisciplinary interest areas were developed by a community reference group, and included identity and self-definition, families of origin, relationships and sexuality, families of choice, immigration a…
Continuing professional social work education in Aotearoa New Zealand
The registration of social workers in Aotearoa New Zealand and other jurisdictions raises issues of cost, benefit, and equity of access to opportunities for further education. There is frequently lack of clarity or competition among employers, registration and examining boards, and professional associations about what continuing professional education is appropriate or valued. This paper is a report of a national survey of social workers: what th…
Clinical outcomes and patient perceptions of acupuncture and/or massage therapies in HIV-infected individuals
This paper uses an innovative methodology to evaluate clinical outcomes and patient perceptions of acupuncture and massage therapies in an HIV medical outpatient setting. Using a quasi-experimental retrospective case control design, treatment subjects were matched by intake date and CD4 count with non-treatment subjects. All subjects had equal opportunity to access HAART therapies and other standard treatments for HIV. There were three treatment …
