title: An international perspective on work-family

authors: Haar, Jarrod M.

subjects: work-family

abstract: This special issue resulted from the Community,Work, and Family 2nd Conference in Lisbon, Portugal (12_14 April 2007). It builds on the premise that the field of work-family conflict has grown to be well recognized and accepted since the seminal article on work-family conflict (Greenhaus & Beutell, 1985) was published over two decades ago. With this growing popularity has come increased attention and some authors have noted that work-family conflict should occur for all global employees (Ling & Powell, 2001).While the interest in conflict has grown in the past two decades, in more recent times there has been greater interest on the positive influences of the work-family interface and the term work-life balance. However, one dominant criticism of the work-family literature is its predominately US focus. While studies have been set in other countries including Europe, Asia, and Australasia, there is still a need to understand the work-family interface in greater international settings.

title: Investigating the characteristics of stated preferences for reducing the impacts of air pollution: A contingent valuation experiment

authors: Bateman, Ian J.

subjects: air pollution

abstract: This paper investigates the nature of stated preferences for reducing air pollution impacts. Specifically a contingent valuation (CV) experiment is designed to elicit individuals’ values for reducing these impacts and to examine how these may change when multiple schemes for reducing differing impacts are valued. The novel survey design allows simultaneous testing for the presence of several anomalies reported in the CV literature within the same context, including (i) scope sensitivity (ii) part-whole or substitution effects (iii) ordering effects and (iv) visible choice set effects. Results indicate some scope sensitivity and interaction between ordering effects and visible choice set effects, as well as substantial part-whole or substitution effects between two exclusive schemes. A practical consequence of these findings is that estimates of the value of combined programmes may not readily be obtained by summing the values of their constituent parts obtained using the CV method.

title: E hoki mai nei ki te ūkaipō | Return to your place of nourishment [Gallagher Academy of Performing Arts]

authors: Apiata, Hāwea

abstract: E hoki mai nei ki te ūkaipō | Return to your Place of Nourishment brings together works by four wāhine Māori artists which explore narratives of pakanga|conflict through toi|art. This exhibition aims to create a dialogic space in which the artworks reflect and challenge the current troubled economic and political landscape. In this show, the four artists weave together their unique practices and stories to present a cohesive yet diverse examination of conflicts, with a particular focus on the artists’ own whānau and hapū narratives.

Ultimately, this collection of works interrogates political strategies that have exploited division and discord through carefully curated histories. This collection is also a reclamation of those narratives and histories by descendants who live in the aftermath of their ancestors’ mamae | pain.
