    Critical Health Psychology: Foundations, Approaches and Applications
    (Massey University, 2025-07-18) Riley S; McGuigan K; Brittain E; Terry G; Kora A; Healy-Cullen S; Van Ommen C; Baken D
    This accessible open-access textbook employs a critical health psychology perspective to health psychology to promote critical reflexive thinking and learning about health and wellbeing, within a social justice framework. The book navigates the reader through a comprehensive examination of contemporary research and theoretical developments in the field of critical health psychology. Organised into three distinct parts, the book radically orients readers to new ways to think about health through: - incorporating a conscious reflection on and examination of how health is theorised, understood, treated, and promoted for individuals, communities, and societies; - using a critical psychology lens that centres issues of power and meaning making, including gendered, Indigenous, and intersectional frameworks; - an openness to, and engagement with, theoretical and methodological pluralism, including quantitative, qualitative and Indigenous approaches to explore people’s experiences and understandings of health and illness; - explicit attention to socio-political contexts; - and considering the application of knowledge beyond behaviour change, to social change including community-level (community-led interventions, activism and advocacy) and societal level (e.g., policy, wider discourses).

    Matariki : a monograph (Vol 1 No 7)
    (Te Mata o Te Tau, Office of the Deputy Vice Chancellor Māori, Massey University, 2024) Te Mata o Te Tau, The Academy for Māori Research and Scholarship; Cunningham, Chris; Te Momo, Fiona; Durie, Meihana
    Our Twentieth Anniversary was a memorable occasion, celebrated at Government House, Wellington, in regal style through the manaakitanga of Dame Cindy Kiro, our twenty-second Governor-General, the first Māori woman to hold the position, and a Foundation Fellow of Te Mata o te Tau. Her Excellency’s welcoming address opens this monograph. Our keynote speaker was Emeritus Professor Sir Mason Durie, both a Foundation Fellow and Foundation President (Puna Tātai Hono) of the Academy. This Monograph – the seventh in the Matariki Series – celebrates that event and also profiles the Foundation Fellows. It begins with the Governor-General’s address, followed by a typically thought-provoking paper on Te Tiriti-o-Waitangi and Aotearoa New Zealand, by Professor Sir Mason Durie. Honouring our Foundation Fellows, we provide extracts from their doctoral theses, together with the abstracts of those new fellows who graduated in 2023.--From Foreword

    What counts as consent? : sexuality and ethical deliberation in residential aged care : final project report 19 November 2020
    (Massey University, 2020) Henrickson, Mark; Schouten, Vanessa; Cook, Catherine; McDonald, Sandra; Atefi, Narges (Nilo)
    This report is intended as a summary of the three-year Royal Society Marsden Fund-funded project “What counts as consent: Sexuality and ethical deliberation in residential aged care” (MAU-1723). The project was funded for the period March 2018 to February 2021. The aim of the project is to interrogate and inform conceptualisations of consent in the domain of sexuality and intimacy in residential aged care. The project completed and exceeded all recruitment and participation goals. While there is a general consensus that sexuality is an intrinsic part of human identity, intimacy and sexuality in aged care remain misunderstood and contested issues. This is particularly so in respect of older persons living with dementia. Gender and sexually diverse communities constitute a significant invisible and invisibilised minority in residential aged care (RAC), and that invisibility means their intimacy needs remain largely unknown and unacknowledged. There are cultural issues in aged care unique to New Zealand: for instance, while 85 percent of residential aged care facility (RACF) residents identify as European and an estimated 5.5 percent are Mäori, 44 percent of staff identify as other than European, including 10 percent who identify as Mäori, and 10 percent Pasifika. The dominant position in the theoretical literature on the ethics of sex and intimacy is that consent is of fundamental importance. Consent has dominated not just the theoretical discourse but also public and legal discourses about the ethics of sex and therefore carers and staff make decisions based on the management of institutional risk rather than the wellbeing of the resident. Vulnerabilisation of older persons in order to protect them, however well-intended, effectively robs them of possibilities to exercise self-governance, depersonalises them, and increases their social isolation. How sexual consent in particular is conceptualised has significant ethical implications for the growing number of elders in Aotearoa New Zealand who are living with degrees of cognitive decline. The specific contribution of this project is to interpret how aged care stakeholders (residents, families, and staff) make sense of consent, to contribute substantively to ethical theory around consent, sexuality, and intimacy, and to inform practice and policy in aged care environments. The project interrogates and intends to inform conceptualisations of consent in the domain of sexuality and intimacy in residential aged care. Our goals were: (1) to analyse how people are making decisions in practice about sex and intimacy in aged care; and (2) to use this information to inform the literature on ethical theory and discourses on consent and wellbeing.

    A Scholarly Review of Supply Chain Integration within the New Zealand Wool Industry
    (Operations and Engineering Innovation, Massey University, Manawatu Campus, Palmerston North, 2021-12) Bezuidenhout, Carel N.; Passos de Oliveira, Daniel; Black, Anthony; Murrell, Teresa; Dela Cruz, Chelsea; Vaghela, Bhavin; Kirk, Logan P.; Kathara, Rahul Dilip; Sun, Noah
    Supply Chain Integration is a vast field of study, and a Google Scholar search will reveal more than 2.7 million publications in this space. This document captures some of the core concepts when the degree of integration of a primary industry supply chain, such as the wool industry, is evaluated. The book was developed after final year students in Massey University’s Logistics and Supply Chain Management Programme conducted an in-depth review as part of a formal assessment. The content of the book is of a scholarly nature and caution should be practiced before any guidelines are implemented. The students studied the literature, reports, newspaper articles and accessed information on the internet. However, the most valuable source of information was through interviews with industry representatives, most noteworthy, an interactive question and answer session with wool exporter, Mr Ryan Cosgrove.

    Ethics and credence attributes are the humanistic basis for establishing sustainable supply chain development. It determines brand reputation, ecology and customer experience. Furthermore, good ethics and credence Attributes promote the progress of industry leadership and increase the possibility of win-win strategies, especially in terms of negotiation. Negotiation is the premise of supply chain collaboration. The purpose of collaboration is to establish a synchronized supply chain to improve the ability of industry coordination. This is also the key to creating value, and the importance of risk management cannot be ignored. It is not only a guarantee for the smooth operation of the supply chain, but also an important measure to improve the flexibility of the supply chain. Finally, the results of supply chain integration need to rely on performance metrics and benchmarking to control and improve the overall performance of the supply chain. This publication evaluates modern theories in all these areas and contextualise it to the New Zealand blueberry industry. It is important that the reader appreciates the scholarly origin of this publication.

    Communication Issues in Aotearoa New Zealand
    (22/12/2014) Dodson, G; Papoutsaki, E
    This edited volume introduces highlights of the academic interests and research activities of a number of staff at Unitec’s Department of Communication Studies, demonstrating the breadth and scope of the engagement of this academic collective with contemporary communication issues. Edited by Giles Dodson and Evangelia Papoutsaki, it is clear from the work that communication in Aotearoa New Zealand remains complex and continually under negotiation, as this country continues to be formed and reformed by processes of cultural encounter, by political and institutional change and by voices seeking to assert, to contest and to claim their presence – to represent and to be represented within contemporary New Zealand
