Read article at Massey Research Online:

Ms Kenney interweaved indigenous and European world views in creating and implementing a contextually relevant qualitative research methodology for the midwifery profession; 鈥楾e Whakamaramtanga鈥. The methodology was applied in the field of miscarriage. Narrative analyses of twenty research participants鈥 stories draw on kaupapa Maori philosophy, and social theories, particularly the ideas of Pierre Bourdieu, Michel Foucault and Bruno Latour. Ms Kenney鈥檚 development of a multicultural midwifery research methodology informed by multidisciplinary theoretical approaches is innovative for midwifery research and theory, and potentially other health disciplines. Her research addresses gaps in midwifery, miscarriage-related care, health professional development, Maori health and health research literature.
