Accountancy students provide free financial guidance
Massey collaborates with Auckland North Community and Development to give free financial advice to non-profit community groups in Auckland and throughout Aotearoa New Zealand.

Exploring true crime podcasts and public opinion
In 2023, a Fast-Start Te Pūtea Rangahau a Marsden (Marsden Fund) grant was awarded for the project “Sound judgments? How true crime podcasts shape public opinion”. This research aims to explore how true crime podcasts influence the way the public forms collective judgements in the digital age.
Research aims to mitigate family violence
Doctorate research in 2023 explored faith-based approaches to reducing family violence, with a focus on Tongan families. The aim was to use these findings to inform future policies and practices for reducing family violence. Additionally, Dr Anthony Mattson’s 2022 research on the pervasive issue of family violence in Aotearoa New Zealand earned a spot on the Dean’s list of exceptional theses.
New Zealand journalists face rising risks
Massey's research showed that New Zealand journalists were increasingly facing violent threats simply because they were doing their jobs.
