“…In common with many social scientific journals, we are publishing an increasingly sizeable proportion of articles that focus on empirical settings outside the West (see Holtom et al, this issue). Importantly, however, we are starting to publish more articles whose primary intellectual resources also originate from outside the West (e.g., Ashraf et al, 2021; Haar and Martin 2021; Jamjoom and Mills, 2022) as well as those focusing on issues that, historically, have been stigmatized (Anand and Mitra, 2022) or trivialized (Muzanenhamo and Chowdhury, 2021). I am confident therefore, that if, in 2047, the editors of Human Relations decide to produce a similar ASI for the journal’s 100th anniversary, they will be able to choose from a wide range of new landmark articles that will be even more varied and ground-breaking than those we have available to us in 2022.…”

Landmark anniversaries tend to be occasions for reflection as well as for celebration. It was tempting, therefore, to celebrate the undoubtedly important and impressive heritage of the journal by reflecting upon Human Relations' history and on its contribution to the academic community (and beyond) over the last 75 years. In the end though, I resisted the temptation to write at any length on the journal's heritage, mainly because I felt that an essay of this kind would be unlikely to add much more to what has already been written so well and so comprehensively for previous anniversaries. 1 Instead, I curated this Anniversary Special Issue (ASI) with the aim of celebrating the heritage of Human Relations, while doing so in ways that directly serve our current readers' scholarly interests. All eight articles in this ASI build on (and in some cases critique) the legacies and traditions of the journal, traditions that have been established so distinctively and effectively over the last 75 years. But they do so in order to develop scholarship that speaks directly to our contemporary world in new and, I hope, interesting ways.The first two articles in the ASI are invited contributions that focus on major intellectual themes that have been central to Human Relations' influence on the academic community over the past 75 years. Importantly, however, these themes remain of considerable significance to current scholarship, as well as to practice. The next group of four articles were also invited, but this time are from authors of articles published in Human Relations over the last 15-30 years or so and that have proved to be particularly influential. I asked all these authors to reflect on the subsequent development of the issues with which their original articles engaged, especially in the light of current debates, and to suggest where these debates might be going next. The final two articles were originally submitted as standard articles but caught my eye because they engaged with topics that relate in interesting (if not always entirely direct) ways to a consideration of the journal's heritage and history, as well as to its continuing influence.In sum, the ASI was designed to speak to today's concerns, doing so through developments that reflect the legacy of the journal's first 75 years. Of course, it is impossible to do justice to the entire heritage of a journal like Human Relations in a single issue (for a more comprehensive appraisal, see Edwards, 2016aEdwards, , 2016bEdwards, , 2016cEdwards, and 2016d. It is my hope, nevertheless, that the ASI holds much of value for every reader, whatever their methodological and epistemological preferences might be, and regardless of their precise disciplinary interests. In other words, this ASI is intended to reflect something of the nature of the journal as a whole, and to illustrate its multidisciplinary ethos, its genuinely

“…A likely explanation is that Māori scientists are notably underrepresented in Aotearoa's scientific workforce (McAllister et al, 2022). Additionally, the "cultural double-shift" identified by Haar and Martin (2021), exemplifies that Māori scientists operate in scientific and cultural work simultaneously.…”

Kauri Dieback Prevention: Relational Values of Knowledge Producers

Ehler¹

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Researchers and knowledge producers play a key role in kauri dieback knowledge production. Whilst their scientific discoveries are well documented in literature, their personal experiences and stories of working on kauri dieback are not. Yet these experiences and stories give key insights into the factors that shape kauri dieback knowledge production, and provide an understanding of how the current kauri dieback research landscape is operating. This research thesis therefore aims to understand kauri dieback researchers through the lens of relational values, a subset of environmental values. Relational values emerge from the relationships between people and the natural environment and are useful for unpacking the relationship between researchers and kauri trees. Using semi-structured interview data from six kauri dieback knowledge producers this research finds that relational values shape and motivate kauri dieback research. Relational values are therefore inherent in science practices, yet there are forces within the current research landscape that stymie the ability for these values to manifest. This research finds that funding structures, fragmentation in the research space and the urgency of kauri dieback against Aotearoa’s postcolonial backdrop push-back on researcher’s ability to realise their values. In turn this results in researchers feeling burnt-out and frustrated. This research therefore argues the importance of relational values in future considerations of the kauri dieback research landscape to alleviate current tensions and challenges that researchers face in the space.

“…Martin explore what they describe as the "aronga takirua" or the cultural double-shift where "Māori scientists grapple with this additional kaitiaki (caretaker) dimension to their work that other NZ scientists do not have to consider" (2021:12). They argue this is particularly relevant to the growing positive attention to Māori culture and the need for Māori engagement in the New Zealand science system (Haar and Martin 2021). For example, the government policy Vision Mātauranga (VM) outlines an obligation for the NZ science system to unlock the innovation potential of Māori knowledge, resources, and people (Haar and Martin 2021).…”

Transitioning Environmental Governance In Aotearoa: Tikanga Māori And A Political Ethic Of Care

Tapsell¹

This thesis outlines the important roles that tikanga and care ethics have in the governanceof our environment. Current governing practices and systems in Aotearoa are deeply intertwined with colonial histories and ideologies that can devalue care, tikanga and reciprocal relationships. However, as environmental threats increase globally and locally, new ways of relating to and governing our environments are necessary (IPBES 2019; Te Mana o Te Taiao 2020). Indigenous knowledge and legal concepts are pivotal to more holistic governance of the environment and in Aotearoa, this often includes tikanga Māori. This thesis explores the need to decolonise governance systems and ideologies of care to ensure better relationships with the environment and between Te Tiriti o Waitangi partners in Aotearoa. I argue a political ethic of care is needed within environmental governance to ensure that relationships are balanced, and power, privilege and history are not ignored or maintained in the process of transitioning environmental governance into a more relational and tikanga Māori informed system. I recommend a Political Ethic of Care Toolbox to be used in environmental policy and planning by decision-makers working in environmental governance.
