  • Institutional Racism and the Dynamics of Privilege in Public Health
    Institutional Racism and the Dynamics of Privilege in Public Health A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Management at The University of Waikato by HEATHER ANNE CAME _____________________________________ 2012 ABSTRACT Institutional racism, a pattern of differential access to material resources and power determined by race, advantages one sector of the population while disadvantaging another. Such racism is not only about conspicuous acts of violence but can be carried in the hold of mono-cultural perspectives. Overt state violation of principles contributes to the backdrop against which much less overt yet insidious violations occur. New Zealand health policy is one such mono- cultural domain. It is dominated by western bio-medical discourses that preclude and under-value Māori,1 the indigenous peoples of this land, in the conceptualisation, structure, content, and processes of health policies, despite Te Tiriti o Waitangi2 guarantees to protect Māori interests. Since the 1980s, the Department of Health has committed to honouring the Treaty of Waitangi as the founding document of Māori-settler relationships and governance arrangements. Subsequent Waitangi Tribunal reports, produced by an independent Commission of Inquiry have documented the often-illegal actions of successive governments advancing the interests of Pākehā3 at the expense of Māori. Institutional controls have not prevented inequities between Māori and non-Māori across a plethora of social and economic indicators. Activist scholars work to expose and transform perceived inequities. My research interest lies in how Crown Ministers and officials within the public health sector practice institutional racism and privilege and how it can be transformed.

  • Vintage Yachting Games
    De Gonzer 5 1693 HX WERVERSHOOF The Netherlands +31 624218063 V I N T A G E Y A C H T I N G G A M E S [email protected] T HE I NITIATIVE The International Class Organizations of some former Olympic classes agreed to take the initiative to organize every four years a combined event with limited entry. These (former) Olympic classes have something special in common. Together they share a huge part of the International Sailing History, a part that is based upon active sailing on a very high level of competition. Many of these classes still breathe that spirit. The (former) Olympic classes also take a special place in the history of yacht design. They still look spectacular as well as elegant. Whether this is the Europe, Firefly, 49er, Olympic Dinghy (Nurnberg Class), FD, Star, Golondrina (Swallow), Soling, Dragon, 5.5 Metre, 30m2 Skerry Cruiser Class or 12 Metre. T HE O BJECTIVE The Objective of the Vintage Yachting Games is to sail a High Performance Regatta with a limited number of competitors. The competitors should prepare during a longer period of time. This event will also help to keep the combined history of the former Olympic Classes alive. Finally the Vintage Yachting Games will offer an “after-life” for former Olympic candidates and their yachts. T HE S COPE At this moment the Vintage Yachting Games Organization assumes that during the 1st edition (2008) of this event the following classes will be represented: Europe (male, female), Flying Dutchman, Soling, Dragon and the 5.5 Metre classes.

  • Lake Michigan Surf Newsletter the E-Publication of the Lake Michigan Sail Racing Federation
    Lake Michigan Sail Racing Federation December 2012 Issue 12 Lake Michigan SuRF Newsletter LMSRF IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE ... A NEW WEB SITE by Glenn T. McCarthy, Commodore www.lmsrf.org LMSRF's web page for the past ten years was the organization's second generation web site and had grown very long in the tooth. Chuck Goes, whom some of you know from Belmont Yacht Club or from his Race Committee work, volunteered to help LMSRF build a new web site. Chuck’s day job is web hosting and design, along with computer consulting, at his company, Digital Interplay (contact Chuck at [email protected] or at 773.743.9843 if you are in need of help for your own business). We chose the platform of Joomla!, as this web site software allows our volunteers to make changes anywhere, anytime, without needing anything more than an internet connection. Users don’t need any special software to make updates and changes. The goals of the new web site are simple, to make it easier to navigate (check), make it easier to maintain by assigning committee chairs the pages they are responsible for maintaining (check, check), add a bit of fun with links to Maritime Museums and Lighthouses (check), but most importantly to make it easier for you to get what you need (big check). Examples of this last one are that you will find applications for Grants-In-Aid and the Hall of Fame on the web site, along with the requirements of both programs. With over 60 pages of information, we hope you find it informative, helpful and will help your club and/or foster your own sailing.
