Beschreibung
This book seeks to untangle the slippery notions of wellbeing constructs of the Trans-Tasman Pacific Islander community and presents case studies from diverse disciplines that grapple with Pacific wellbeing. Subjective and objective realms of Pacific wellbeing are woven together through Indigenous-led research approaches. The edited book redefines and illustrates notions of wellbeing as it relates to Pacific people living in Australia and New Zealand—the Trans-Tasman diaspora—through values-driven and strengths-based transdisciplinary research to inform applications in real-world contexts. The book presents broad and focused insights of the multi-faceted understandings of Pacific wellbeing compiled and authored by leading Pacific Islander researchers in the fields of Pacific communities, health, education, psychology, housing, economic mobility, and identity politics. Book chapters are presented with didactic sections about research methodologies and research recommendations contributing accessible tools for policy-making and to support future research about Pacific wellbeing.
