Leisure time in midlife
This paper reports results from a nationally representative survey of 40–54–year–old New Zealanders investigating correlates of perceived available leisure time. The focus on women and men in midlife, the countries largest birth cohort, was based on concerns for the impact on leisure of a ‘demographic squeeze’ of those in this age group from pressures experienced through changed family structures and political economic policies. Multivariate odds…
Thank the ladies for the plates’
The extent to which women service the leisure of others can be well illustrated by an analysis of sport. It is argued that gender relations in sport are mediated by male interests and serve to incorporate women for the institution's maintenance and reproduction.

While there is a great deal of popular social commentary on sport in New Zealand, there is relatively little serious sport sociology. As a subject it is taught to students in Physical Education at the University of Otago, although individuals from other universities also contribute to sociology of sport and leisure research. Sport has a strong influence on social life in New Zealand, especially events of international significance such as rugby e…
Challenging the Hegemony
In 1981, women were very prominent in the organised opposition to a South African rugby team touring New Zealand. While overtly opposing racial discrimination, it is argued their protest action was motivated by anger at the exclusively male sport of rugby.

A 1977 nationwide survey of preferred recreation activities in New Zealand indicated that only New Zealand males were consistently active in sport, while women preferred home based activities. Data on a group of women who are actively and regularly involved in a specific sport in New Zealand (orienteering) are presented to illustrate characteristics of their participation and to highlight contrasts with women's sport participation elsewhere. The …
