  • ‘I’ve engaged strongly with Te Ao Māori ... I could bore you forever’

    Open Access•Rachelle Pedersen, Tim Mccreanor et al.•ARTICLE•Settler Colonial Studies•2026

    Recent intensified calls for social justice-oriented change have caused shifts for Pākehā navigating identities as ‘good’ in relation to Māori. Within an individualist social environment, personal choices around political issues have become how Pākehā ‘stage-manage’ identities that can be read as good, in relation to other Pākehā. We examine how this identity work unfolds through focus group data, using thematic and discourse analysis to explore …

  • Wairua in the everyday

    Open Access•Te Raina Gunn, H Moewaka Barnes et al.•ARTICLE•AlterNative An International…•2026•References: 12

    Wairua (spirituality) is central to being Māori (Indigenous people of New Zealand), but there is little research that explicitly explores such experience. In Western framings, it has been relegated to uncanny and shamanistic domains. Many Māori scholars write about concepts intertwined with wairua, and interest in wairua research is increasing. Limited, but growing discussions, guidance and examples of how to approach wairua in research are emerg…

  • Tauiwi (Settler) Visioning an Antiracist Health System for Aotearoa Before the National-Led Coalition Government

    Heather Came, J Kidd et al.•ARTICLE•Sites a journal of social…•2025

    In Aotearoa, systemic ethnic inequities are longstanding and fuelled by the intergenerational impacts of colonisation and systemic racism. Our health system disadvantages Māori (the Indigenous peoples of Aotearoa) while Pākehā (white settlers) are advantaged. This paper addresses a literature gap by describing a Tauiwi (settler) vision of an antiracist health system. It is a companion piece to a Māori-led paper on the same topic. An exploratory q…

  • Needs not race

    Open Access•Heather Came, Dominic O’sullivan et al.•ARTICLE•Ethnicities•2025•References: 18

    Following a change in government in New Zealand in 2023 the influence of Te Tiriti o Waitangi has been systematically diminished. This article uses Discursive Tiriti Analysis to examine the 2024 Cabinet Circular on Needs-based Service Provision . The stated aim was to remove ‘race’ as a criterion for public service delivery, in spite of ‘race’ being a word and concept that Te Tiriti did not use. Its contemporary use accompanies a popular rhetoric…

  • Alcohol marketing on social media

    Open Access•Tim Mccreanor, Timothy Mccreanor et al.•ARTICLE•Addiction Research & Theory•2024

    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

  • Critical Tiriti Analysis

    Open Access•Heather Came, Dominic O’sullivan et al.•ARTICLE•Ethnicities•2024•Cited by: 7•References: 18

    Restrictions on Indigenous peoples’ contributions to policymaking pervade post-settler societies like Australia, Canada and Aotearoa. Such effects are observed in spite of agreements like Te Tiriti o Waitangi in Aotearoa and the United Nations’ Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Te Tiriti, negotiated between the British Crown and Māori (Indigenous peoples of Aotearoa), may have been entered into honourably by both parties, but the C…

  • Honourable kāwanatanga

    Open Access•Heather Came, M Pillay et al.•ARTICLE•Ethnicities•2024•References: 21

    Understandings of Te Tiriti o Waitangi continue to unfold as we find our way through the complexities of colonial misinformation about our herstory and history. Looking ahead to the prospect of constitutional transformation, this paper examines honourable kāwanatanga as a necessary pathway to Tiriti justice. This commentary paper draws on existing literature and insights from the Māori and Tauiwi authors’ decades of experience of pursuing Tiriti …

  • Limbic platform capitalism

    Antonia Lyons, Ian Goodwin et al.•ARTICLE•Addiction Research & Theory•2022

    The purposive design, production and marketing of legal but health-demoting products that stimulate habitual consumption and pleasure for maximum profit has been called ‘limbic capitalism’. In this article, drawing on alcohol and tobacco as key examples, we extend this framework into the digital realm. We argue that ‘limbic platform capitalism’ is a serious threat to the health and wellbeing of individuals, communities and populations. Accessed r…

  • Strengthening public health contracting

    Open Access•Heather Came, Maria Baker et al.•ARTICLE•Kōtuitui New Zealand Journal of…•2022•References: 4

    In 2010 and 2015 nationwide surveys monitored government management of public health providers. These surveys found evidence of inconsistent management which disadvantaged Māori providers, consistent with institutional racism. In Dec 2019 to March 2020 a follow‐up nationwide telephone survey was completed. Public health units, primary health organisations, Māori health providers and non‐governmental organisations with public health contracts resp…

  • Using vignettes about racism from health practice in Aotearoa to generate anti‐racism interventions

    Open Access•J Kidd, Heather Came et al.•ARTICLE•Health & Social Care in the…•2022•Cited by: 3•References: 10

    Racism is a key modifiable determinant of health that contributes to health inequities in Aotearoa and elsewhere. Experiences of racism occur within the health sector for workers, patients and their whānau (extended family) every day. This paper uses stories of racism from nurses - reworked into vignettes - to examine the dynamics of racism to generate possible micro, meso and macro anti-racism interventions. A critical qualitative design was uti…

  • Māori History can be a Freeing Shaper’

    Rachelle Pedersen, Tim Mccreanor et al.•ARTICLE•Sites a journal of social…•2022•Cited by: 1

    Recent upheaval in racism debates across western countries is exemplified in New Zealand in the decision to compulsorily teach Māori histories in schools. Until recently this history has been largely marginalised and ignored by settlers/Pākehā who maintained a belief in histories which served to legitimise the Pākehā position of power. Earlier analyses have identified how the media has maintained normative Pākehā dominance and power through a con…

  • Wairua in memories and responses to Anzac Day

    Open Access•Te Raina Gunn, H Moewaka Barnes et al.•ARTICLE•AlterNative An International…•2022•References: 17

    Although research acknowledges wairua (spirituality) as a key component of Māori understandings, experience and practice, few studies include wairua as an explicit analytical theme or domain. Utilising the A Wairua Approach to research, we explore the experiences of two participants on Anzac Day. Through A Wairua Approach analysis of video recordings, we explored the meanings and connections related to whakapapa (genealogy) and the mana (prestige…

    Complex multidimensional challenges have prompted a transformational shift towards holistic research integration with knowledge systems differing from conventional science. Embracing diverse ontological and epistemological approaches through new styles of collaboration, dialogue and practice enables durable solutions and desired outcomes. As societal and global issues become more urgent, complex and challenging, recognition of the intersection of…

  • Tension without tikanga

    Open Access•Ken Taiapa, H Moewaka Barnes et al.•ARTICLE•AlterNative An International…•2021

    In Aotearoa New Zealand, the arrival of imperial ideologies in the 19th century led to devastating land-loss and cultural marginalisation for Māori at the hands of settlers and successive governments. This article examines the damaging effects of a Crown-imposed treaty claims settlement system designed to address injustices inflicted on Māori. Interview data from a Taranaki-based (a West Coast region, central North Island of Aotearoa New Zealand)…

  • A critical review of the Cabinet Circular on Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the Treaty of Waitangi advice to ministers

    Open Access•Dominic O’sullivan, Heather Came et al.•ARTICLE•Ethnicities•2021

    The New Zealand state developed from a treaty between the British Crown and hapū (sub-tribes) in 1840. The te Reo (Māori language) text and the English version of the agreement are fundamentally different. Breaches of this treaty and tension over how the political relationship between Māori and the Crown should proceed are ongoing. In 2019, the Cabinet Office issued a Circular instructing bureaucratic advisers of the questions they should address…

  • Time for a troll’; the standard story propping up the colonial state

    Open Access•Raymond Nairn, Tim Mccreanor•ARTICLE•Kōtuitui New Zealand Journal of…•2021•References: 13

    This article foregrounds the contribution of the widely available standard story of New Zealand history and Pākehā race‐talk, to the social control of Māori and the naturalisation of racism. Assisted by recent studies that show how humour is variously used to encourage compliance with social norms, we focus on an item published as a newspaper column by Sir Robert Jones. The analysis shows how the piece utilises widely familiar themes and resource…

  • New normal - Same inequities or engaged Te Tiriti partnership

    Open Access•Tahu Kukutai, Tracey Mcintosh et al.•ARTICLE•MAI Journal A New Zealand Journal…•2020

    The Covid-19 lockdown over March to May 2020 meant households became their own "bubbles", with residents physically interacting only with those in their household and staying close to home.Mäori leaders recognised the potential of the lockdown to exacerbate whänau vulnerability due to confinement, financial hardship and, depending on their household, issues of crowding or isolation.Steps were quickly taken to support households with care packages…

  • Māori and Tauiwi nurses’ perspectives of anti-racism praxis

    Open Access•J Kidd, Heather Came et al.•ARTICLE•AlterNative An International…•2020

    This pilot study explored Māori (Indigenous peoples of Aotearoa (New Zealand)) and Tauiwi (non-Māori) nurses’ perspectives of anti-racism. A critical qualitative design was utilised, informed by kaupapa Māori (Māori philosophical approaches). Senior nurses with more than 7 years experience were recruited for focus groups. Two focus groups, one Māori ( n = 5) and one Tauiwi ( n = 4), were conducted September 2019 in Auckland. Data were analysed us…

  • Introducing critical Tiriti policy analysis through a retrospective review of the New Zealand Primary Health Care Strategy

    Open Access•Heather Came, Dominic O’sullivan et al.•ARTICLE•Ethnicities•2020

    Background Te Tiriti o Waitangi was negotiated between the British Crown and Indigenous Māori leaders of Aotearoa New Zealand in 1840. Māori understood the agreement as an affirmation of political authority and a guarantee of British protection of their lands and resources. The Crown understood it as a cession of sovereignty. The tension remains, though legal and political developments in the last 35 years, have established that the agreement pla…

  • Ethnic (pay) disparities in public sector leadership in Aotearoa New Zealand

    New Zealand Governments have longstanding policy commitments to equal employment practices. Little attention has been paid to ethnic pay disparities in recent years. Informed by a series of official information act requests, we were interested to find out what extent, ethnic pay disparities existed within the core public sector and district health boards (DHBs). We examined the population proportions of Māori, Pasifika and Other ethnicities earni…

    Kaupapa Māori methodologies in Aotearoa New Zealand have often been applied to content of immediate and direct relevance to Māori communities. Some of these include research about aspects of cultural revitalisation or examinations of the position Māori occupy within broader ethnic disparities, particularly in health and social outcomes. This article seeks to expand the application of Kaupapa Māori paradigms to research topics outside 'te ao Maori…

  • Colonisation, hauora and whenua in Aotearoa

    Open Access•H Moewaka Barnes, Tim Mccreanor•ARTICLE•Journal of the Royal Society of…•2019

    Colonisation has deeply harmed Maori communities, seriously and consistently undermining their vitality, aspirations and potentials, particularly since the 1860s, at inestimable cost to the entire nation. The British arrival in Aotearoa commenced a relationship between two very different peoples that has profoundly influenced their distinct and collective fortunes ever since. Despite manifest breaches of te Tiriti o Waitangi, this relationship ha…

    Discourse analysis of public submissions arising from an overt racial conflict in New Zealand in 1979 has yielded a number of patterns in the talk of Pakeha New Zealanders. An outline of two such patterns is presented and these are then drawn upon in the deconstruction of a piece of contemporary Pakeha discourse. This analysis is designed to shed some light on the significance of the patterns presented; their durability, their function, and their…

    This article illustrates the mode of thinking about affect that practice theory offers qualitative research in psychology. A focus on affective practice draws attention to the entanglement of embodied states with meaning making, to the role of routine and habit, and to the formation of new and creative affective-discursive patterns. Crucially, affective practice highlights human activity and negotiation, intertwining the subjective and the social…

    New Zealand, similar to many other westernised nations, has a well-developed national culture of drinking to intoxication. Within this cultural context, young women are exhorted to engage with the night time economy, get drunk and have “fun” without relinquishing claims to “respectability”. More recently, the rise of Facebook and other social networking sites has coincided with shifts in postfeminism, neo-liberalism and the development of the nig…

Interview data were gathered from 12 females and 15 males, aged between 12 and 25 years, resident in th…

    Requirements for non‐Maori researchers to consult with Maori compete with “by Maori for Maori” research agendas. Nevertheless, Maori provide varying forms of consultation, with Maori perspectives rarely being entered into the literature. Following an invitation from the Centre for Social Health Outcomes Research and Evaluation (SHORE), members of the Whariki Research Group agreed to take a consultative role, providing Maori input into the New Zea…

    Action Research can be a powerful tool for change and improvement in health services for indigenous people when utilised within an appropriate framework. The project Maori Utilisation & Experience of Ischaemic Heart Disease Management illustrates this convergence in its use of Kaupapa Maori Action Research methods in its efforts to improve the health and well-being of Maori within the northern region of Aotearoa/New Zealand. We outline the resear…

  • Transport related social exclusion in New Zealand

    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…

  • Maori Men and the Grief of Sids

    Shane Edwards, Tim Mccreanor et al.•ARTICLE•Death Studies•2009•Cited by: 2•References: 3

    The loss of a baby is always hard to cope with and the grieving process is likely to be difficult. Interventions to work with Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) families have improved grieving outcomes for many but the needs of Maori fathers are not well understood or catered to by existing services. This article presents narrative data from Maori fathers who have lost a baby to SIDS and analyzes these narratives in the context of the literature…

    A qualitative study explored factors that influence parents' food purchasing behaviours in supermarkets and away-from-home settings, particularly the role played by nutrition information. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted with 15 parents of young children in a provincial city in New Zealand. A semi-structured protocol was used to elicit factors influencing food purchases and explore the understanding and influence of existing nutritio…

  • Connecting Place and the Everyday Practices of Parenting

    This paper asks how the material differences between suburban neighbourhoods influence parents' experience of place and their everyday practices of parenting. Building on a view of place as 'becoming', we examine how the accessibility of community amenities and the in-place production and maintenance of social practices contribute to the cohesiveness of neighbourhoods and the social capital resources available to parents. We draw on a 2002-03 stu…

    BACKGROUND: Ethnic disparities in cancer survival have been documented in many populations and cancer types. The causes of these inequalities are not well understood but may include disease and patient characteristics, treatment differences and health service factors. Survival was compared in a cohort of Maori (Indigenous) and non-Maori New Zealanders with colon cancer, and the contribution of demographics, disease characteristics, patient comorb…

    Māori players, coaches, administrators and audiences contribute to a wide range of sporting codes at all levels in Aotearoa/New Zealand and internationally. However, Pākehā media coverage, a representative sample of which we analysed in this project, presents Māori participation and achievement as limited and aberrant. This paper reports our analysis of New Zealand newspapers' sports coverage in which Māori were represented. A database of 50 arti…
