Research with Maori men
The cultural construction of Maori masculinity
A history of research on Maori men Research with Maori men Maori men’s relationships and how these
promote health today Addressing the crucial gap in research by
studying the everyday lives and positive relationships of Maori men in the context of men’s health
Some questions to address
What do we know about Maori men… who do not offend? who are not in the justice system or prisons? who do not beat their children and partners? who have no gang affiliations? who lead relatively healthy lifestyles and
are positively contributing and engaging constructively with their whanau and communities?
Quite frankly not much at all.
