  • A Poststructural Analysis of the Health and Wellbeing of Young Lesbian Identified Women in New Zealand
    A Poststructural Analysis of the Health and Wellbeing of Young Lesbian Identified Women in New Zealand. Katie Palmer du Preez A thesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). 2016 Faculty of Health and Environmental Sciences. School of Clinical Sciences. ABSTRACT New Zealand is regarded internationally as a forerunner in the recognition of gay rights. Despite the wide circulation of discourses of gay rights and equality, research shows that young women who identify as lesbian continue to be marginalised by society, which constrains their health and wellbeing. This study was an inquiry into the health and wellbeing of young lesbians in New Zealand, from a poststructural feminist perspective. It posed the research question: what are the discourses in play in relation to the health and wellbeing of young lesbian identified women in New Zealand? The methodology employed was a poststructural feminist discourse analysis, drawing on the philosopher Michel Foucault’s concepts of genealogy and the history of the present. Interviews with young lesbians were conducted in 2012 amid public debate around same- sex marriage. Historical data sources were the extant texts Broadsheet, a feminist periodical with strong health and wellbeing emphasis, and Hansard, a record of New Zealand parliamentary debate. Issues of these publications were selected from the early 1970s, during which the second wave feminist movement emerged, and the mid-1980s when the campaign for Homosexual Law Reform took place in New Zealand. The discourse analysis made visible the production of multiple ‘truths’ of young lesbian health and wellbeing.

  • Decolonisation and Free Association: The
    DECOLONISATION AND FREE ASSOCIATION: THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE COOK ISLANDS AND NIUE WITH NEW ZEALAND BY CAROLINE JENNY MCDONALD A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2018 ABSTRACT The Cook Islands and Niue are self-governing states in free association with New Zealand. The free association arrangements met United Nations decolonisation requirements. They reflected the needs and wishes of the Cook Islands and Niue, and the interests of New Zealand. Views are divided on what influenced the emergence of the arrangements for free association, whose interests they represented, and whether they have fulfilled the expectations of the Governments involved. The purpose of this thesis is to determine the formative influences shaping self- government in free association of these two states, and to reach a conclusion on how effective the free association arrangements have been in fulfilling initial expectations. The first half of this thesis draws on primary and secondary sources to establish what influenced the offer of self-determination, the options available, the choice made, the free association arrangements that emerged and whose interests these represented. The second half of this thesis turns to fulfilment of those expectations. It explores the flexibility of free association – the ability of the Cook Islands and Niue to make constitutional change. It examines each of the major elements of free association: holding New Zealand citizenship, New Zealand provision of necessary economic and administrative assistance and New Zealand responsibility for external affairs and defence. The conclusion is that the free association arrangements have been of mixed effectiveness in meeting the Governments’ initial expectations.

HER WORSHIP THE MAYOR: Women's leadership ·in New Zealand local government A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Management Massey University, Palmerston North Aotearoa New Zealand Marianne Gaye Nicol Tremaine 2007 DEDICATION For my dear friend and colleague, Suzann Clair Olsson, whose passing came far too soon for everyone who loved her and benefited from her creative spirit and her ability to be open to the moment. ABSTRACT This study began with the premise that looking at leadership in a different setting might generate new understanding of how leadership works. Only four women mayors had held office in New Zealand before the 1980s but when their numbers grew over the next two decades, there were signs of a difference in their approach to leadership. Although the amount of scholarly work published on leadership is vast, the body of academic literature on local government leadership is slender. The possibility of finding new knowledge about leadership by studying women mayors made them an intriguing area to research. The research sought answers to two questions: - how do women mayors perceive exemplary mayoral leadership and explain their own leadership practice; and .. how do women mayors' views of leadership compare with leadership theory? The information gathered to assist in answering the research questions included: .

  • Hosts Report
    Wellington, NZ 18-22 March 2019 Hosts Report 30 July 2019 Introduction In December 2016, three New Zealand community organisations were successful in their bid to host the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex (ILGA) World Conference in Wellington, New Zealand. They were Intersex Trust Aotearoa New Zealand, Rainbow Youth and Tiwhanawhana Trust (the Host Rōpū). In bringing ILGA World to Wellington the Host Rōpū provided the opportunity for; Increased participation by New Zealand, Australian and Pa- cific LGBTIQ+ groups, in particular, indigenous and youth, at this international forum. ILGA World to experience, witness and learn from New Zea- land and Pacific experiences. The conference also celebrated important milestones; the 1st World Conference held in Oceania the 40th anniversary of ILGA World the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising (and along with it, the birth of the modern gay rights movement in the west). This report reflects what was achieved by the Host Rōpū, how it was done and why. Though brief, it provides a combined histori- cal, pictorial and financial overview. Included is a special section on the work achieved by the Host Rōpū to participants from the Pacific. It is hoped this report provides a useful overview for IL- GA members. The 2019 ILGA World Conference was a resounding success not- withstanding the tragedies in Christchurch. It was achieved be- cause of the generous support in kind, in sponsorship , in fund- ing and advice from many sectors of New Zealand society. All this from a journey that began in 2016. Wellington City, the Mayor of Wellington Justin Lester, the Cross Party NZ Parliamentary Rainbow Network through MP’s Jan Lo- gie, Louisa Wall and Chris Bishop, and the New Zealand Rain- bow community can justifiably be proud of the role they played in the success of this event.

  • Draft PICT Paper
    The Development of Learning Regions in New Zealand: an ICT perspective By Janet Mary Toland A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Information Systems Victoria University of Wellington 2010 ABSTRACT The term “Learning Region” is used to identify a region which is innovative, economically successful, and inhabited by citizens who are active members of their local community. Such regions are characterised by strong links between local businesses, community groups, and education providers. Within a regional area interaction and exchange of information is easier and cheaper than in a national or international context. The success of an individual organisation is directly related to the quality of information available locally. Information technology can be an important tool in improving the flow of knowledge between the stakeholders within a region. The study examines the role that information and communication technologies (ICTs) play in the development of learning regions in New Zealand, and how they can be used to improve the quality of information flows both within the region itself, and between the region and the outside world. In particular the research considers what contribution ICTs make to organisational learning and innovation. Historical methods are used to build up a picture of the significant changes that have taken place within two contrasting regions of New Zealand between 1985 and 2005. The two selected regions are Southland and Wellington. Data was collected by searching regional newspapers, and conducting interviews with key figures in each region. A “6- I”framework of the “ideal” features of a learning region was developed from the literature review and this was used to analyse the data.
