ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence systems require large amounts of data to allow them to learn and achieve high performance. That data is increasingly collected in extractive and exploitative ways, which transfer value and power from individuals to AI system owners. Our research focuses on data that is collected from users of digital platforms, through direct and indirect interaction with those platforms

Insects as mini-livestock: New Zealand’s public attitudes toward consuming insects Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online Pub Date : 2023-01-26 Penny Payne, Alyssa Ryan, Susanna Finlay-Smits
ABSTRACT Insects are a relatively sustainable food source with a high protein content, and an alternative food option for the growing global population. 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

Reducing single use packaging and moving up the waste hierarchy Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online Pub Date : 2022-12-16 Gradon Diprose, Louise Lee, Hannah Blumhardt, Sara Walton, Alison Greenaway
ABSTRACT Interest in circular economy practices is increasing. 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

‘Never-ending beginnings’: a qualitative literature review of Māori temporal ontologies Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online Pub Date : 2022-11-11 Paula Toko King, Donna Cormack, Ricci Harris, Sarah-Jane Paine, Melissa McLeod
ABSTRACT Our experiences of temporality are defined and shaped by our experiential reality. 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

Covering tangata whenua in Aotearoa: a big data exploration of print media and Māori Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online Pub Date : 2022-09-18 Justin Bonest Phillips
ABSTRACT A large body of academic research documents harmful media coverage of indigenous populations across the globe. New Zealand is no exception. Aotearoa’s indigenous people, Māori, share similar damaging experiences, leading one major NZ media company to publish an apology for their historically poor depiction of tangata whenua. This paper adds to that wealth of evidence using the automated methods

Clark
ABSTRACT Whanaungatanga (nurturing of relationships) is at the heart of wellbeing for rangatahi (Māori youth), yet little research has considered how rangatahi understand and experience whanaungatanga. Furthermore, policy makers, organisations and practitioners have had limited guidance to reflect on whanaungatanga with young Māori in ways that support rangatahi wellbeing and aspirations.

ABSTRACT The era of closed stranger adoption is a significant part of Aotearoa New Zealand’s social and colonial history; some 80,000 children were legally adopted between the years 1955–1985. Māori children constituted a considerable proportion of these legal adoptions, although little attention has been given to their experiences.

ABSTRACT To be realistic and meaningful, positive ageing conceptualisations should involve a diverse range of perspectives. Yet, problematically, perspectives are often distinguished as ‘researcher versus older adult’. In this scoping review, we suggest that distinguishing perspectives based on the data collection and interpretation approach is more meaningful. Guided by Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping

Intersections between housing affordability and meanings of home: a review Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online Pub Date : 2022-06-20 Patrick Barrett
ABSTRACT Research into housing affordability has flourished alongside growth in house prices, just as successive governments have used a range of policy levers to curb price increases. To date, however, these policies have met with little success. One persuasive explanation for that failure is that housing policies have been developed using affordability metrics in ways that have reinforced neoliberal
