Foster, P. M. (2020). What undergraduate nurse education actually teaches student nurses about people named as older: A Foucauldian discourse analysis. Doctoral thesis, Auckland University of Technology, Auckland. Abstract: Traces the origins of gerontology knowledge among student nurses while considering how people designated as older are perceived by the student nurse, and the effects of functional decline and biomedical discourses on their views of older people when on clinical placement in aged residential care (ARC) facilities. Hghlights the contested domain of gerontology knowledge to generate dialogue about how older age is actually represented in student nurse education, as the current iteration perpetuates stereotypical assumptions about older age.

Jamieson, I., Harding, T., Withington, J., & Hudson, D. (2019). Men entering nursing: has anything changed? Nursing Praxis in New Zealand, 35(2). Abstract: Conducts thematic analysis to identify two predominant gender scripts: of nursing as women's work, and that men who nurse are homosexual. Notes the associated themes of the effect of negative stereotyping on male nurses' career choice, and their resistance to the stereotype of normative masculinity. Considers that the same barriers to men becoming nurses have remained unchanged since first identified and discussed in the 1960s.
