SAANZ-Conference-Booklet-2016.Pdf Conference of the Sociological Association of Aotearoa New Zealand conference 22 to 24 November 2016 Hosted by Massey University Venue: East Pier Hotel, Napier, New Zealand (Cover art work: Fiona Clark, Massey University student) Welcome Dear conference attendee Welcome to the 2016 conference of the Sociological Association of Aotearoa New Zealand (SAANZ), hosted by Massey University. We sincerely hope that you enjoy this conference, and all that the conference venue – this year in Ahuriri, Napier - has to offer. If this is your first time attending a SAANZ conference then we would like to extend a particularly warm welcome to you. The conference this year has a very heartening number of students in attendance, making up around one third of the numbers overall. We also have a number of individuals that are not based in tertiary institutions; it is great to see interest in this conference stretching beyond academia. It is great to see all the familiar faces as well. We hope that everyone’s time here is interesting, pleasurable, motivating and productive. Finally, we would like to thank our sponsors: The Royal Society of New Zealand, the Sociology Association of New Zealand, and the School of People, Environment and Planning at Massey University. Yours sincerely, Conference organising committee If you have any urgent queries, please contact Corrina on 0278488659. Conference Theme Imagined futures: sociology, science and the arts Utopian hopes and dystopian fears surrounding scientific and technological solutions to human problems run deep. These are not new impulses and neither is their critique, by either sociological or other activist communities. The current situation presents an entanglement of problems, and a deeply moral challenge to how we might respond to pressing problems including the mass refugee crises, extreme economic inequities and instabilities, invasive political-military surveillance regimes, persistent eco-climatic crises with local and global import and the continued enslavement of the environment, people and animals. With the 2016 SAANZ Annual Conference we aim to interrogate these propensities and the numerous critiques generated in response. What are our imagined futures? With what sort of normative and disruptive intent do and can we interrogate scientific and technological solutions to human problems? What forms of organization are presupposed for the transfer of research findings into transformative social interventions? What kinds of subjectivity and collectivity are assumed as necessary for the success of inquiry and intervention? What kinds of leadership and subordination do they also presuppose?

  • Enemy Or Ally? Senior Officials’ Perceptions of Ministerial Advisers Before and After MMP
    Enemy or ally? Senior officials’ perceptions of ministerial advisers before and after MMP (Eichbaum, C. and Shaw, R. 2006. ‘Enemy of Ally? Senior Officials’ Perceptions of Ministerial Advisers before and after MMP’, Political Science, 58(1): 3-23. Abstract There is now a well-established literature on the various second-order effects of the adoption of proportional representation in New Zealand. One feature of the contemporary executive landscape, however, remains substantially under- researched. This article reports on research regarding ministerial advisers in New Zealand Cabinet ministers’ offices. More specifically, it compares senior public servants’ current attitudes towards ministerial advisers with pre-MMP speculation regarding the possible future influence of such advisers. The article concludes that, while there are concerns about the possible long-term influence of political advisers, for the majority of senior officials, working relationships with ministerial advisers are positive and productive. Keywords ministerial advisers, MMP, politicisation, Cabinet, public service. Dr Chris Eichbaum, School of Government, Victoria University, Wellington ([email protected]). Chris Eichbaum is a Senior Lecturer in Public Policy at Victoria University’s School of Government. He has worked as a union official, a policy analyst in Canberra and Wellington, and a ministerial adviser in two New Zealand governments, most recently as Senior Adviser to the Hon.

His research interests include the institutions of central banking, public sector governance, the roles and responsibilities of ministerial advisers, and contemporary social democratic politics and theory.

  • Investigating Commentary on the Fifth Labour-Led Government's Third Way Approach
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Research Commons@Waikato New Zealand Sociology 32(1) 2017 Page | 51 Investigating commentary on the fifth Labour-led government’s Third Way approach Gemma Piercy, Kate Mackness, Moana Rarere and Brendan Madley Abstract After the 1999 election of a Labour-led coalition government in Aotearoa New Zealand, a raft of policy reforms adopted characteristics of the ‘Third Way’ ideology promoted by Anthony Giddens. We argue, however, that Third Way characteristics were not implemented in Aotearoa New Zealand without attracting criticism. This article reviews academic analysis and wider commentary on the Third Way in Aotearoa New Zealand, much of which particularly focused on social policy reforms made by the Labour-led coalition government (1999-2008). We have used this literature to identify the varied ways in which the Third Way was defined and the extent to which Third Way ideology was considered to have influenced policy and practice the Aotearoa New Zealand context. Our semi-systematic literature review shows that many commentators argued that New Zealand did indeed implement a policy platform consistent with Third Way ideological characteristics but these were also adapted to the unique context of Aotearoa New Zealand. We explore in detail two key examples of adaptation discussed in the literature: the Labour-led government’s early focus on reducing inequalities between Māori and non-Māori and on renewing civil society through subsidiarity and a partnership approach. Keywords Third Way; Civil society; Partnership; Giddens; Fifth Labour-led government Introduction The fifth Labour-led coalition government (1999-2008) of Aotearoa New Zealand initiated a wide range of policy reforms which reflected values consistent with ‘Third Way’ ideology.

  • Towards the Right of New Zealand Children for Free Early Childhood Education
    International Journal of Child Care and Education Policy Copyright 2008 by Korea Institute of Child Care and Education 2008, Vol. 2, No.1, 77-91 Towards the Right of New Zealand Children for Free Early Childhood Education Helen May University of Otago New Zealand This paper provides an historical and policy overview of early childhood education in New Zealand. The analysis is framed around the introduction, in July 2007, of the government’s policy of 20 hours-a-week free early childhood education for three and four year old children in teacher-led early childhood programmes. This initiative extended a raft of policies intended to improve quality participation in early childhood as part of the Government’s ten year Strategic Plan Pathways to the Future: Ngã Huarahi Arataki 2002-2012. A key plank of this policy is that by 2012 all adults working in teacher–led services will have teaching qualifications. Realising this has been challenging and the implementation of the ‘20 hours free’ policy became a controversial media story. From age five, all New Zealand children have long had a ‘right as a citizen’ to free schooling. There was a level of expectation from parents that this ‘right’ had been extended to early childhood education. The policy was not so bold. This paper outlines the journey towards matching the rights of the school aged and preschool aged child for free education. The ‘20 hours free’ policy is an important step in the process. The paper concludes with an early commentary on the issues that this policy raises in relation to: the rights of children and parents, the costs of quality, and the conflicting roles of government, community, and private enterprise in the provision of early childhood services.

  • Working Paper 2014/01 List of Government Department Strategies Between 1 July 1994 and 30 June 2014 Author: Renata Mokena-Lodge 1.0 Purpose
    DRAFT Working Paper 2014/01 List of government department strategies between 1 July 1994 and 30 June 2014 Author: Renata Mokena-Lodge 1.0 Purpose The purpose of this working paper is to provide a list of government department strategies (GDSs) published by New Zealand government departments between 1 July 1994 and 30 June 2014 (see Table 1). This list will be analysed and discussed further in our upcoming report on strategy in government. This working paper provides details of the methodology applied by the Institute to create the list outlined in Table 1. In doing so, three other tables were necessary to explain the process and show how the data was collected and analysed. The purpose of each of the four tables is briefly described below: • Table 1: Government department strategies (GDSs) between 1 July 1994 and 30 June 2014 (pages 14–83) This table contains the list of all documents that were found to be GDSs published between 1 July 1994 and 30 June 2014 (as per the criteria in Section 3.0 below). • Table 2: List of documents rejected from analysis as at 15 September 2014 (pages 84–89) This table contains the list of all documents rejected from further analysis because they did not meet the four criteria or were published outside the timeframe of this report. • Table 3: Reconciliation between the 2007 report and the 2014 report (pages 90–91) This table was necessary as 11 GDSs listed in the 2007 report were rejected from our 2014 list and 25 strategies that were published before July 2007 were added that were not included in the 2007 report.

  • "Looking Forward to Saturday" : a Social History of Rugby in a Small New Zealand Township
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Pennission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the pennission of the Author. "Looking Forward to Saturday": A Social History of Rugby in a Small New Zealand Township. Piet De Jong A Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Master of Arts. Department of Sociology Massey University 1986 ii Abstract This study examines the history of club rugby in Eltham up to the Second World War. It is based on the life-review accounts of a small number of elderly, ex-Eltham rugby players and backed by a study of club-records and newspaper accounts. The study was stimulated by events surrounding the 1981 Springbok Tour of New Zealand and by a dissatisfaction with existing sociological attempts to examine the role of rugby in New Zealand society. Previous writers have too often uncritically celebrated the game, or succumbed to a number of recurrent theoretical and methodological shortcomings. "Cultural Studies" is introduced as a body of analytic theory and method with the potential to redress the limitations shown in existing writings on rugby. It directs the study of a sport to three critical emphases, all of which are evident in the current study. Firstly, the sport needs to be considered in terms of the social-structural context it exists in. In the present study a strong link is identified between the development of the general social infrastructure and the form adopted by local rugby.
