The Nursing Education in Southern Alberta program is hosting a one-hour professional development session for faculty and students that focuses on unpacking systemic racism and microaggression in the Nursing profession. The one-hour session will be facilitated by Dr. Florence Luhanga from the University of Regina.
Dr. Florence Luhanga is an associate professor and current interim dean, graduate student, and researcher in the Faculty of Nursing, at the University of Regina; with expertise in qualitative research methodologies. Prior to joining the University of Regina, Dr. Luhanga taught as a lecturer at the Institute of Health Sciences in Botswana for 12 years (1990-2002), as a sessional instructor at the University of Alberta (U of A), and as an assistant professor at Laurentian University for five years (2006-2011) where she maintained an active program of research while teaching nursing courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Her research has been primarily in the area of field teaching and unsafe student clinical behaviors.
In this session, Dr. Luhanga will explore the lived experiences of racialized students as they navigate their nursing program and will provide practical tools on how best to recruit and retain these students.
The session will be moderated by Martha Mathurin Moe, Executive Director EDI.
