  • “This Is Not Us” Or Is It? the Effect of the Christchurch Terror Attack on Media Representations and Experiences of Former Refugees Living in Aotearoa New Zealand
    Image 1: Source Silva, 2019 “This is not us” or is it? The effect of the Christchurch Terror Attack on media representations and experiences of former refugees living in Aotearoa New Zealand. 1 “This is not us” or is it? The effect of the Christchurch Terror Attack on media representations and experiences of former refugees living in Aotearoa New Zealand. Master thesis International Development Studies By Kim Aperloo August 2021 Student number: 7057962 Personal Email: [email protected] Utrecht University, Faculty of Geosciences MSc International Development Studies Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Ajay Bailey Completed by distance in Aotearoa, New Zealand. 2 Abstract This research analyses the representations of refugees in New Zealand media and the experiences that former refugees have in New Zealand. Using Media Framing theory this research looks at how the media frames refugees in New Zealand and how this impacts experiences of everyday racism for refugees. Former refugees are not passive recipients of discrimination but are active participants in challenging dominant stereotypes in several ways. In recognition of the agency and mana1 that former refugees hold an Actor Oriented approach is used to explore how former refugees challenge media representations and discrimination. This research focuses on the aftermath of the 2019 Christchurch terrorist attack in which 51 Muslim worshipers were murdered by a white supremacist. This was labelled as the “end of innocence” for a country that proudly boasted a nuclear-free, multicultural and peaceful image. Quickly there were assertions of “this is not us” and “they are us” throughout media, and in parliament, as New Zealand had to face the fact that racism and discrimination were rife in New Zealand.
