<p>This thesis is a history of marginalisation as experienced by Maori women within New Zealand. My argument is that through the founding British Crown, the education system and Christianity, Maori women were marginalised (Pihama, 2001). My hypothesis is that once we understand how we were marginalised, we begin to liberate ourselves.  I seek to identify legislation and social phenomena that marginalised Maori women. These are the sorts of discourses led to assimilative, alienative and hegemonic outcomes for Maori women. Moana Jackson refers to this form of marginalisation and its influences as, “the destruction of the Maori soul” (as cited by Mikaere, 1995, p. 138).  The consequences of marginalisation will highlight the importance of identity, matauranga Maori and the relevance of whenua to Maori women (Mikaere, 2003). In undertaking this task, I seek to answer how the New Zealand education system could contribute to emancipating Maori women.  By applying a Kaupapa Maori methodology (Smith, G. , 1997), an examination of how Maori women were effected by colonisation and imperialism will be explored. For this study, I have opted to utilise a qualitative approach in gathering and undertaking my research (Denzin & Lincoln, 1984). The Kaupapa Maori methodology and a qualitative method enable me as a Maori woman to tell the story of our lived experiences as Maori women.</p>

Agent-based modelling provides a mechanism by which complex social phenomena can simulated in order to identify how particular features arise from causes such as demographics, human preferences and their interaction with policy settings. The NetLogo environment has been used to implement a simulation of the New Zealand higher education system, using historical data to calibrate model settings to mirror those of the real-world system. This simulation is used to explore how the introduction of an alternative qualification and education paradigm might disrupt established patterns of education and employment.

By 1979, merely 139 years after the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi (The Treaty of Waitangi), the loss of te reo Māori was so great that it was believed it would suffer language death (Walker 1990: 147-148). This can be attributed to colonisation and the State policy of assimilation which eroded the status of the language. The mechanism of the Government’s agenda of assimilation and language domination was the State education system. This was, therefore, the primary cause of Māori language loss. In some cases the legislation regarding the State education system can be directly linked to language loss. However, in many cases the education system has negatively affected te reo Māori indirectly through aspects of Eurocentric education. These include assimilation, cultural invasion, cultural subordination, language domination, hegemony, the curriculum, class structures, racism, meritocracy, intelligence testing, and negative teacher expectations.   In the study of Māori language decline one must critically review the New Zealand State education system, including a discussion of the key events and legislation in the history of Pākehā colonisation and assimilation in Aotearoa/New Zealand. This will form the chronological map of the deterioration of the status of the Māori language.

In this paper, we argue that the intersection of two key ideologies – New Zealand’s purported history of good race relations, and the positive contribution sport is believed to make to racial equality – has created an environment in which it is difficult to talk about, let alone discuss constructively, Māori experiences of racism in the sport context. Our aim is to put the issue on the agenda by engaging with 10 experienced Māori sport participants, coaches and administrators whose experiences demonstrate the existence of, and pain caused by, cultural and institutional racism in New Zealand sport. In this aim, we do not seek to hide behind a veil of neutrality or objectivity. Rather, following a kaupapa Māori research approach, our interest is in bringing to light the voices, frustrations and concerns of Māori in order to contribute to a much-needed conversation.

The aim of this article is to re-conceptualize the meaning of morality according to the perspective of feminists. This article employed the method of literature review within the qualitative approach. Morality, in the history of western thought, is often related with the concept offered by Immanuel Kant. Human being is perceived to have a sufficient ratio to access the universal morality. Therefore, there is no reason for not following the principles of morality. Nevertheless, feminists argued that the concept offered by Kant does not give a flexible space for the dynamics of contingent things, such as feeling, sensitivity, and inclination. Whereas, these contingent things have given such an influential meaning for the concept of morality. Marilyn Friedman (2000) specifically proposes and explains this point of view in her article entitled “Feminism in Ethics: Conception of Autonomy”. Her approach is thus later shown clearly in the concept of care ethics. Even though, I argue that care ethics would not substitute Kantian ethics, but rather complement it, so that the paradigm of the morality can be seen broader from several perspectives. This entwined paradigm, between Kantian and care ethics, is then can be employed to analyze various social phenomena that occur in our society. Tujuan artikel ini adalah untuk merumuskan ulang konsep mengenai moralitas, terutama ketika mendapatkan sumbangsih pemikiran dari para pemikir feminis. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kajian literatur dalam pendekatan kualitatif. Moral, dalam perjalanan panjang sejarah pemikiran barat, identik dengan pemikiran Immanuel Kant dalam sifatnya yang berlaku universal. Untuk mengakses universalitas moral, manusia diandaikan memiliki nalar atau rasionalitas yang cukup. Dengan demikian, sebagai manusia yang otonom secara moral, tidak ada alasan baginya untuk tidak mengikuti prinsip-prinsip moral. Penggunaan nalar tidak memberikan ruang bagi hal-hal yang sifatnya kontingen, seperti perasaan, sensitivitas, dan kecenderungan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa apa yang disingkirkan oleh etika Kantian tadi diangkat oleh para pemikir feminis. Mereka memberikan sumbangsih pemikirannya tersendiri dalam membangun konsep moralitas. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa etika kepedulian adalah muara dari pemikiran mengenai moralitas dari para pemikir feminis. Meski demikian, etika kepedulian tidak hadir sebagai substitusi atau pengganti dari etika Kantian, melainkan sebagai komplementer yang menjadikan cakrawala moralitas semakin utuh. Bak dua sisi sepayang sayap, kedua pendekatan moralitas tadi saling menyeimbangkan pemaknaan mengenai apa itu moralitas, terutama untuk menelaah fenomena-fenomena secara sosiologis dalam masyarakat.

This article draws on data from a research study (Torepe, 2011) that investigated the lived experiences of six Māori teachers who recently graduated from the Hōaka Pounamu (Graduate Diploma in Immersion and Bilingual Teaching) course at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. The primary objective was to gain a deeper understanding of the lived experiences and various challenges confronting this group of experienced Māori language teachers working in English-medium, state-funded schools. This article describes the qualitative research methodology that was underpinned by a Kaupapa Māori narrative research philosophy. It then explains why the study's findings support and strengthen those of previous studies conducted in Australia. Most notably, they draw attention to the concept of cultural taxation and the Crown's principles for action on the Treaty of Waitangi. Given the large number of Māori children attending Australian schools and similar challenges confronting Indigenous Australian teachers, this research will be of interest to an Australian audience.

School uniforms are dynamic cultural forms and as such have meanings specific to the cultures in which they are worn. In New Zealand the history of their development is also a history of changing meanings specific to the New Zealand culture, connected to the status of children and the changing educational and social objectives of the education system. After a relatively slow development in New Zealand, school uniforms came into their own during the 1950s only to undergo radical change and diversification in the 1960s. During the 1970s school uniform as a practice reached a new extreme, allowing expressions of individualism and pluralism, values associated with a democratic ideal. Although such expressions threatened to overturn the sustaining principles of uniforms and uniformity, instead they reinforced uniforms as carriers and protectors of a powerful democratic ideal embedded in the New Zealand education system.
