This talk will consider the communication processes and uncertainty management strategies patients and families engage in throughout a cancer experience and beyond.

She is currently an Associate Professor in the School of Communication Studies at the University of Tennessee in the USA.

    CARE WHITE PAPER SERIES Exploring challenges: A Culture-Centred Approach (CCA) project in Glen Innes

    Dr Phoebe Elers, Dr Steve Elers and Professor Mohan Dutta

    This study explores the challenges experienced by residents in Glen Innes, Auckland. The findings have assisted in the identification of local problems and corresponding solutions, including the ‘Poverty is Not Our Future’ campaign, which has served as anchor for residents to challenge dominant structures and, at the same time, communicate their everyday realities of poverty. While this study is focused on Glen Innes, material hardship continues to be a significant issue in Aotearoa New Zealand, with research determining that 13 percent of children lived in households that experienced material hardship in the 2017/18 financial year (Statistics New Zealand, 2019) and that children born into disadvantage in Aotearoa New Zealand have a significant likelihood of remaining disadvantaged (New Zealand Treasury, 2016a, 2016b; Templeton, 2016).
