The sociology of te reo Māori is the study of the relations between te reo Māori and Māori society, Māori values, Māori worldviews, Māori knowledge and Māori identities. In those terms, the object of this study would be Māori society and the impact of a colonising language, English, on te reo Māori. That would provide the impetus for language survival strategies in a language revitalisation endeavour.
In terms of this study, which incorporates sociological perspectives through an ethnolinguistic lens, it is closely related to the field of sociolinguistics which focuses on the effect of societal change on te reo Māori, the emphasis given in this study.

My thesis addresses the question: What is the value of care to the carers? To achieve this objective, I interviewed thirteen participants from the Whangarei area, Auckland city and Hamilton city.
I focus specifically on the care experience. Using a 'hindsight and humour' lens, I reveal the positive expressions to the human face of care and love to balance the daily 24 hours 7 days a week mechanical grind of care which is the dominant voice in literature.
Coined by a carer, 'the great paydays of caring' captures the essence of reciprocal love between the carer and their whānau. A phrase by another carer became a key theme – care means love.
