Description
Sociology Thesis (M.A.)--University of Guelph, 2019.
Uses the pandemic to provide a commentary on longstanding issues of access and quality of care for Māori with disabilities in Aotearoa-New Zealand.
Examines the vulnerability of Indigenous communities during the COVID-19 pandemic and how this data can help guide policies to protect Indigenous populations.
Historical note:
Authors note that Canada’s new Healthy Eating Strategy does not address social determinants of health (childhood environments, gender, Indigenous status, income, education and occupation) as root causes of poor diet quality; they suggest that a reduction of diet inequities will require policy change.
