The Development of an Indigenous Knowledge Program in a New Zealand Maori-Language Immersion School
In 1985, Te Wharekura o Rakaumangamanga initiated a Maori-language immersion program for children ages 5 through 18. In recent years, a program based on Waikato-Tainui tribal epistemology has been incorporated into the language immersion program. This article describes the community context and the language immersion and tribal knowledge programs. We consider the relationship of these programs to individual and tribal self-determination and to th…
Reflections in colonial glass? women factory inspectors in Britain and New Zealand 1893-1921
This article explores the establishment of women factory inspectors in the wake of a common sweating furore in Britain and New Zealand. Sweating reformism was not simply transplanted in New Zealand from the motherland. It is argued that Britons and New Zealanders developed related illusions about anti-sweating which had important implications for the confinement of women's work. In New Zealand female factory inspectors were held to be symbols of …
Photographic visions and narrative inquiry
This paper examines the ways in which photographic images can be used in narrative inquiry. After introducing the renewed interest in visual methodology the first section examines the ways in which researchers have utilised the camera or photographic images in research studies that are broadly similar to forms of narrative inquiry such as auto/biography, photographic journals, video diaries and photo-voice. It then draws on the published literatu…
Shifting Sands
Te Wharekura o Rakaumangamanga
In the early 1980s, the Maori people of New Zealand began a dynamic language revitalization movement. The establishment of Maori immersion programs in state funded schools constituted one major aspect of the movement. This article describes the development of the Maori language immersion program in one New Zealand school for children ages 5 to 17. In 1985, the first immersion classroom of 5-year-olds was established. Immersion classrooms were add…

The politics of occupational ill-health in late nineteenth century Britain
Using the match making industry as a case study, this paper examines the politics of occupational health in late nineteenth century Britain. It argues that this industry had a high profile within the wider political struggle around the question of working conditions and their effect on workers' health. This was due to the identification of match making with a specific and particularly disfiguring industrial disease, phosphorous necrosis, and that…
A Note on Ethical Issues in the Use of Autobiography in Sociological Research
This research note argues that in discussions about autobiography as a research tool in sociology there has been relative neglect of ethical issues. It suggests that the nature of autobiography as a form of personal document requires a re-examination of ethical principles important to sociology and feminist research practice. This paper aims to begin to approach some of these issues through an analysis of the complexities of autobiography's metho…
Are accidents gender neutral? the case of women's industrial work in britain, 1880-1914
This paper examines two principal issues in the study of accidents: first, the conceptual and measurement problems in arriving at any historical understanding of the incidence and prevalence of accidents; and second, the thesis that accidents are not neutral in terms of gender and gender relations. Using evidence for the period 1880-1914, the paper focusses on the industrial accident and examines these questions in relation to official discourse …
Strategies of Education in Indigenous Communities
It is self‐evident to anyone capable of seeing beyond the confines of the little spheres within which we spin out our lives, that the day is rapidly approaching when it will no longer be viable for the minority of the world's population who don't live in villages to make every major decision affecting the lives of the majority who do. So any program of village education which intends to be forerunner of a revised world order must, as its first pr…
Women's health or social control? the role of the medical profession in relation to factory legislation in late nineteenth century Britain
Based on an analysis of primary and secondary documentary sources this paper examines the relationship of medical men to state intervention in women's labour. Focusing on factory legislation it explores the extent to which this intervention may be seen as an attempt to alleviate the health consequences of industrial work or as a means of social control, which is defined here in terms of actual restrictions on women's participation in the paid lab…
Suffer the working day
Some of Them Gets Lead Poisoned’
This article examines occupational lead exposure in women in the years 1880-1914. In this period there was unprecedented intervention by the state in women‘s working conditions, and this intervention is examined with respect to the particular case of lead poisoning It is argued that three important ideas about workers were dominant in the analysis of the problem and the actions considered with respect to it: the greater susceptibility of women to…

Manokotak
A study of the school in Manokotak, Alaska, a Yup'ik Eskimo community, addresses the question of the cultural gap between the school and the minority community.
