  • Co-Designing Health Service Evaluation Tools That Foreground First Nation Worldviews for Better Mental Health and Wellbeing Outcomes

    Open Access•Michael Wright, Aunty Getta et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2021

Through a series of co-design workshops, tools were built using innovative collabora…

  • Anti 'Social Capital'. Civic Values versus Economic Equality in the EU

    M O''Connell, Michael O’connell et al.•ARTICLE•European Sociological Review•2003•Cited by: 4

However the causal foundations of this influential model have not been critically examined. Some evidence put forward in Putnam's analysis of the Italian regions is questioned. An empirical assessment of the model in relation to European Union member state…
