Research Opportunities
- HIV+ Black African Migrants and Refugees in NZ (01/06/10) The HIV+ Black African Migrants study is a collaborative project with Prof Cynthia Pointdexter, Fordham University (Fulbright Fellow) and Assoc Prof Christa Fouché of University of Auckland. It is a qualitative project which recruited and interviewed a number of HIV+ migrants to New Zealand from countries with predominantly black African populations.
- AfricaNZ Health (09/01/2012) AfricaNZ Health was funded by the Health Research Council of New Zealand and the Ministry of Health. It is a two phase proposal which responds to the need for improved understanding about the health and social services needs of African migrant and refugee communities in Aotearoa New Zealand. This project was conducted in close collaboration with A/Prof Nigel Dickson at Otago University and African community partners. There are two technical reports from this project: The phase 1 report, AfricaNZ Count: An estimate of currently resident and HIV positive Africans in New Zealand; and the phase 2 report, AfricaNZ Care: A report on knowledge, attitudes, behaviours and beliefs about HIV among Black Africans living in New Zealand. Both reports can be found on the project website, http://africanz.massey.ac.nz
- Lavender Islands (01/03/2003) Lavender Islands: Portrait of the Whole Family is the first national study of sexual minorities in Aotearoa New Zealand that includes both men and women. It was an online and hard-copy study of 2,269 participants that considered identity and self-definition, relationships, families of origin, families of choice, community connections, political viewpoints, migration/immigration, well-being and spirituality and other key demographic features.

Teaching and Supervision
Teaching Statement
Currently teaching the following papers:
Undergraduate:
Introducing Social and Community Work Practice
Social Work Theories, Assessment and Interventions
Postgraduate:
Applied Research in Social Work and Social Policy
Courses Coordinated
Graduate Supervision Statement
My main areas of graduate supervision include gender and sexual diversity, HIV, sexuality and ageing, and related topics. I am particularly interested in international projects related to social justice and stigmatised, vulnerabilised, and marginalised communities and populations. I have done consultations for international organisations in a number of Pacific Island countries and territoriesm and am very familiar with Pasifika and Black African-related issues and topics.
I have been approved as a mentor supervisor at Massey, and I am available for consultations and support particularly in the above areas, for projects using qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods. I served for six years on Massey's Human Ethics Committee-Northern, and am familiar with the challenges and issues of preparing HEC applications. I am particularly interested in challenges related to postcolonial ethics, and the ethics of research with vulnerabilised and stigmatised populations. I have carried out projects (and peer-reviewed) for the Health Research Council of New Zealand; I have a Royal Society Marsden Fund project; and I have reviewed for the Auckland Medical Research Foundation, as well as a number of international granting bodies. I peer review 25-30 papers per year for an array of social work, nursing, public health, interdisciplinary and HIV-related journals. One of my great personal and professional pleasures is seeing committed people doing great research that promotes human dignity.
Prof Mark Henrickson is available for Masters and Doctorial supervision.
