teaching 'areas': i have taught in years one and four in the undergraduate nursing program. year one: foundational nursing theories and concepts in nursing, and care and comfort skills. year four: nursing leadership (patient safety, patient-family focused care, managing risk, and relational perspectives of nursing leadership and socially just nursing practice). i teach at the graduate level: nursing theory and philosophy.
teaching approaches: my teaching practices are rooted in a relational practice perspective as articulated by gweneth hartrick doane and colleen varcoe, with a particular interest in narrative and aesthetic ways of knowing, informed by hermeneutic, critical feminist, post colonial and post-structural inquiry. approaches that appreciate lived experience, and deconstruct and reconstruct issues of social location, power, and privilege at the intrapersonal (self), interpersonal (self/other/environment), and contextual (institutional, social, political, economic, historical) level.
i am a qualitative researcher, committed to narrative, story-based, and art-based inquiry. my scholarship interests include unearthing the meaning of--socially just nursing practice, moral distress, and expressions of well-being (including resilience, compassion, resistance), in contemporary nursing practice.
