Alcohol marketing on social media: Young people’s exposure, engagement and alcohol-related behaviors
Aim Alcohol promotions in conventional channels are associated with subsequent alcohol consumption in young people, but little is known about young people's exposure to digital alcohol marketing. This exploratory study investigated young people's exposure to, and engagement with, alcohol marketing on social media platforms, variations across sociodemographic groups and associations with alcohol-related behaviors
The social context of alcohol use among Māori in Aotearoa/New Zealand: Reflections of life experiences of alcohol use by older Māori
To broaden public health approaches to alcohol use, this study provides an initial exploration of the social context of alcohol use among Māori in Aotearoa/New Zealand, from the perspectives of older Māori. Utilising a Māori-centred research approach, face-to-face interviews were conducted with 13 older Māori people to explore their personal experiences of alcohol use across their lifetime. Thematic analysis was used to identify common themes tha…
Feeling and spirit: Developing an Indigenous Wairua Approach to Research
Wairua, a Maori (indigenous peoples of Aotearoa New Zealand) concept, somewhat restrictively translated as spirit or spirituality, resonates with many indigenous peoples globally. While spirit is recognised as an important human dimension, the denigration of non-western spiritual understandings means that indigenous peoples often choose to remain silent. Transferring these concerns to research approaches, we edit our voices, with a view to what w…
Precarious Popularity: Facebook Drinking Photos, the Attention Economy, and the Regime of the Branded Self
Young people are often accused of being foolhardy for posting photos on Facebook that depict drinking and intoxication. However, in this article, we argue young people's predilection for posting Facebook drinking photos must be understood in relation to Facebook's specific architecture and affordances, and is symptomatic of new forms of online sociality and 'required' aspects of identity work which are tied to imperatives for self-promotion in th…
Alcohol and social media: Drinking and drunkenness while online
Our New Zealand-based research provides new insights, drawn from focus group and interview data gathered from 18- to 25-year-olds, about how alcohol use and technology converge in drinking and drunkenness while online. Alcohol consumption is a key source of harm and damage to population health, particularly for young people whose engagement with web-based communications may be exacerbating problems. Participants’ talk around alcohol and SNS use i…
Pathways to Transform Institutional (and Everyday) Racism in New Zealand
Racism has become a normalised part of New Zealand society despite the governments’ endorsement of human rights treaties and the founding document Te Tiriti o Waitangi. The outcomes of racism manifest as significant and enduring disparities in economic and social well-being outcomes between Māori and non-Māori. New Zealand has a range of strategies that attempt to deal with inequities between population groups and is developing a national human r…
The Association of Crime Stories and Maori in Aotearoa New Zealand Print Media
This paper explores associations between crime reporting and Maori ethnicity in a large representative sample of newspaper items gathered in Aotearoa New Zealand between November 2007 and April 2008, using content, thematic and discursive analyses and audience interpretations. The association of Maori and crime was prominent in these newspapers and Maori were frequently labelled as possible or actual perpetrators of crime on superficial judgement…
Transport related social exclusion in New Zealand: Evidence and challenges
People without functional access to a car in countries where private vehicles are the predominant form of transport are at a disadvantage. Alternative modes of travel in such settings often do not meet people's mobility needs, creating barriers to participation in work, education, social activities, sport and leisure, and to accessing basic goods and services. In New Zealand, private vehicles have long been prioritised as the mode of personal tra…
Youth identity formation and contemporary alcohol marketing
This paper considers linkages between contemporary marketing theory and practice, and emerging conceptualizations of identity, to discuss implications for public health concerns over alcohol use among young people. Particular attention is paid to the theorizing of consumption as a component of youth identities and the ways in which developments of marketing praxis orients to such schemata. The authors’ analyses of exemplars of marketing materials…

Why Strengthen the City Wall When the Enemy Has Poisoned the Well?'' An Assay of Anti-Homosexual Discourse in New Zealand
Proposed changes to New Zealand law on homosexuality made the issues a matter of widespread public debate in the mid-1980s. The present study, which was designed as an exploratory assay of anti-homosexual discourse, draws on a large body of public submissions to the New Zealand Government Select Committee on Homosexual Law Reform of 1985. The data are subjected to discourse analysis, and a series of themes or patterns carried in the public submis…
