MPOWER Newsletter

The MPOWER newsletter started in January 2014. The newsletter offers MPOWER members a chance to read about recent and upcoming events. In addition, it highlights current research information, projects and collaborations, and enables MPOWER affiliates to advertise forthcoming events or research needs.

Labour and Industry: A journal of the social and economic relations of work

In 2016, MPOWER joined with the Centre for Labour, Employment and Work (CLEW) at Victoria University of Wellington to successfully bid for the editorship of the Labour & Industry Journal. The Journal publishes research offering a multi-disciplinary perspective on social, organisational and institutional considerations and employment relations. The MPOWER and CLEW editorial team recently started a second term of stewardship of the Journal (2019-2021). We hope that, as MPOWER members, you'll find articles and materials in the Journal that directly relate to your people and work management concerns.

The editorial team members are:

Editors-in-chief: Profs Jane Parker and Jim Arrowsmith (MPOWER, Massey) and Dr Noelle Donnelly (CLEW, Victoria);
Assoc. editors: Drs Christian Yao (MPOWER/CLEW), Shane Scahill (MPOWER) and Stephen Blumenfeld (CLEW); and
Book Review Editor: Dr Ozan Alakavuklar (MPOWER).
