Over the last five years, Aotearoa New Zealand has seen unprecedented social housing demand. There is currently an overrepresentation of Māori experiencing housing need and awaiting placement into social housing, yet studies on this topic are limited. This research narrates the lived experience of Māori social housing tenants. It recounts experiences of social housing placement and explores the interactions tenants have with each other and their surrounding environment to create and maintain a sense of community within their housing placements. This article presents a complex understanding of Māori tenant experience centred on people finding a place to belong. Through utilising a Kaupapa Māori research framework and using semi-structured interviews, this qualitative research describes the process of creating a home as moving beyond the individual house. It highlights how the experience of ‘home’ for Māori tenants is governed by where you live and with whom you live with. Ultimately, the results presented emphasise the relevance of incorporating a Māori worldview into social housing provision to create environments that support Māori wellbeing.","PeriodicalId":308502,"journal":{"name":"Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131567994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These settlements, which saw the Crown acknowledge and apologise for its historical breaches of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, also served to extinguish the rights of Taranaki Māori to seek further redress from the Crown. The Treaty Settlement process over, Taranaki Māori and the many non-Māori that have settled in the rohe (tribal territory) are left to themselves to deal with any lingering tensions, ongoing enmity and forms of structural injustice stemming from the settler-colonial process. This paper is not about the formal processes of colonisation or Crown-initiated attempts to atone for the past through the Treaty Settlement process. Rather, this paper concerns the painstaking work of change undertaken on the ground by local people, Māori and non-Māori alike. It concerns the ‘small stories’ of colonisation, the myriad endeavours of local people working for change in local contexts. In particular, the article concerns the fight for Māori wards on Councils in New Plymouth and South Taranaki, and the extraordinary work done by ordinary people in attempting to forge some kind of future of togetherness in a region riven by the violence of colonisation.","PeriodicalId":308502,"journal":{"name":"Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121182990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research aimed to identify common traits or ways of knowing and being, by engaging with Māori women in their chosen physical activities and preferred environments. Korikori Kōrero draws from both Indigenous and Euro-Western research methodologies to ultimately bring the research relationship and associated power dynamic into balance. Māori women have experienced an exaggerated imbalance of power resulting from the patriarchal dominance of colonisation, and their contemporary realities often reflect this. However, it was the intention of this research and method, to privilege the stories of Māori women, successful in navigating contemporary realities – through physical activity, a known protective health behaviour. This article will share the rationale behind this novel mobile method; how it was implemented; and its relevance in generating an understanding of physically active Māori women.

However, while entomophagy (eating insects) is a growing food trend on the global stage, very few studies focus on New Zealanders’ perceptions of it. This research aims to better understand the New Zealand publics’ attitudes to the consumption of insects, by exploring willingness to eat insects, the preferred processing methods for consumption, and barriers to adopting insects into participants’ diets. An online survey was conducted via SurveyMonkey in 2019 recruiting via social media platforms. Within the sample (n = 1322), male participants were more likely to express a willingness to consume insects, as were younger participants (<56 years) and those who consume meat. Over sixty percent of participants responded that they would eat insects, and possibly regularly, if in an acceptable form such as a capsule for improved health. Participants were aware of the environmental benefits of eating insects over other protein sources but less aware or certain of the potential health benefits. New Zealand may be a candidate for well-marketed products containing insects, most likely in the form of a powder to add to existing foods or health products.","PeriodicalId":308502,"journal":{"name":"Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131560430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research has explored the predictors of roll choice for older adults, but this paper presents the first exploration of roll choice for rangatahi Māori (Māori youth; aged 13–18), and the predictors of rangatahi not understanding the difference between rolls. We draw on Māori data (n = 1528) from Youth19 which surveyed students from a random sample of schools from Tai Tokerau, Tāmaki Makaurau, and Waikato. We find those Māori who also identify as Pākehā (New Zealand European) are less likely to opt for the Māori roll, but those who know their Iwi, are comfortable in Māori social surroundings, feel a spiritual connection to land and the presence of their ancestors in their lives, or feel the drive to be respected as Indigenous, are more likely to choose the Māori roll. Older rangatahi are more likely to say they understand the question, as are those with study plans post-secondary school, and who say they are comfortable in Māori social settings. These results contribute to a body of knowledge valuable for those seeking to increase voter enrolment and enrolment on the Māori roll.

A key material that connects the circular economy and wider environmental concerns is plastic waste, which poses environmental, climate, and human health risks. Single-use plastic packaging is particularly problematic because it forms the largest share of the global plastics market, has a short life cycle, and has channelled investment towards the bottom of the waste hierarchy. Given single-use plastic packaging is embedded in global trade, transitioning away from use requires much more than ‘behaviour change’ from individual producers and consumers. In this article we use social practice theory to show how social change is occurring with regard to single-use plastics. We draw on two food retail case studies of (primarily) business-to-consumer packaging from Aotearoa New Zealand. We show how transitioning away from single-use plastic food packaging requires (1) understanding the function and meaning of packaging materials, and (2) coordinating other materials, skills and meanings to re-craft and substitute the functions that single-use packaging performs across businesses, supply chains and consumers. Our analysis illustrates the significant collaboration and emerging networks needed for change, and signals how investment towards the top of the waste hierarchy in reuse could contribute to a more circular economy.","PeriodicalId":308502,"journal":{"name":"Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125091743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We interviewed 12 key informants between December 2021 to February 2022 with experience in providing extracurricular activities or relevant academic or policy-making expertise. Participants identified many positive impacts from extracurricular participation including improved wellbeing, social connection, and skill development. All agreed there is inequitable access to extracurricular activities in Aotearoa New Zealand with children from low socioeconomic backgrounds most affected. Participants explained how poverty created interconnected financial, transportation and infrastructure barriers. Community-embedded extracurricular programmes with low or no fees were considered an effective measure for increasing access. We recommend existing and novel community-led programmes are supported to expand their services, including support for disadvantaged communities to access funding opportunities. We also recommend examples of good practice within schools are disseminated to seed ideas. Further government investment in infrastructure and policy is required to alleviate poverty and facilitate participation. We recognise ongoing awareness, advocacy, and action at both community and policy levels will be required to ultimately close the activity gap in Aotearoa New Zealand.","PeriodicalId":308502,"journal":{"name":"Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115831416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For Māori, our experiences of time have been marginalised by hegemonic western-centric temporal understandings that are privileged and embedded into structures and institutions. Modelling is a commonly-used tool for estimating the benefits of interventions to inform decision-making. In addition to taking little account of health equity, western-centric modelling methods generally omit Indigenous time concepts. This paper presents findings from a qualitative literature review of Māori temporal ontologies and considers implications for modelling within the context of addressing hauora Māori aspirations. Of the total of 5,677 potential records identified, 78 texts were included in the knowledge synthesis. We identified six overlapping themes: Tohu; Hurihanga; Te Taiao; Whakapapa; Pūtahi; and, Mana Motuhake. In contrast with colonial time (understood as flowing uniformly in one direction throughout the universe), Māori temporal concepts were interconnected, interdependent and complex, with multi-layered and multi-faceted dimensions. If modelling approaches are to have utility for hauora Māori, we need to be open to interrogating and critiquing how colonial time shapes statistical assumptions and assigns value to a broader range of epidemiological methods commonplace in health and disability research, including the reification of colonial time in modelling methods.Glossary of Māori words: āmua: hereafter; āmuri: hereafter; anamata: hereafter; ātea: be clear, free from obstruction; hau ora: healthy, well; hurihanga: changing, turning, cycle; kaitiaki: guardian; kaupapa Māori: Māori agenda, Māori principles, Māori ideology; a philosophical doctrine, incorporating the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values of Māori society; koru: spiral motif; onamata: ancient times; mana: spiritual power; mana motuhake: authority and capacity to be autonomous; Māori: name for Indigenous peoples of New Zealand; mua: former; muri: after; pākehā: foreign; Papatūānuku: Earth Mother; pūtahi: meeting place, intersection; takiwā: period of time, space; te ao Māori: the Māori world; te reo Māori: the Māori language; te taiao: the natural world, environment; tohu: sign, symbol; tūpuna: ancestors; wā: period of time, interval; wānanga: to meet, discuss, deliberate, consider; whakairo: carving; whakapapa: ancestry, familial relationships; whaikōrero: oratory; whakataukī: to utter a proverb; whānau: to be born, extended family, family group","PeriodicalId":308502,"journal":{"name":"Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123364560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More than 9000 tweets were analysed using quantitative and qualitative methods to map different publics orienting to the event on Twitter, including a Pacific diasporic public that emerged through locative practices of identity and cultural performance. This study finds that Pacific users’ tweets were differentiated by textual and visual cues, including the use of emojis as a paralanguage of Pacificness and a racialised visual discourse of ‘Brownness’, in ways that suggest an emerging Pacific counter-public. The findings discussed here further demonstrate the ways in which social media affordances enable the construction of race and ethnicity online, and the ways in which marginalised groups are using social media to create alternative public spheres. This study also demonstrates the importance of looking more closely at the different discursive practices within Twitter public to both foreground marginalised groups’ practice and de-Westernise social media studies.","PeriodicalId":308502,"journal":{"name":"Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online","volume":"182 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126074432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
