I am a (public/community health) nurse-anthropologist. This combination of disciplinary fields has taken me:
|
|
| My publications are primarily on my work in northern Thailand and on refugee resettlement in "third countries" like the USA, and deal with gender and health issues. My research in ChiangMai is on-going (the foto is from a trip to visit NGOs along the Mekong River in Thailand in 1999), and will be the focus of my writing for the foreseeable future. As an areal specialist in Mainland SE Asia, I became Director of the Southeast Asia Center (SEAC) in the Jackson School of International Studies in July 2000. | |
| I enjoy teaching senior level students in the classroom and in multi-ethnic or cross-cultural communities. I oriented the current undergraduate course in community health nursing to provide clinical experiences in natural communities. The majority of my master's degree students have, over the years, worked cross-culturally or internationally in nursing, and it is thrilling to see their contributions to their communities grow. I continue to teach in the Advanced Community Health Nursing (ACHN) track at the Unviersity of Washington. I spear-headed the establishment of a joint MN-MPH program through the ACHN, and developed a policy area of study for interested students. I have supervised doctoral research in the fields of of nursing and anthropology at the University of Washington and other universities. Most of the dissertations have focused upon gender and women's health issues, HIV/AIDS, Thai society, and refugee women's health. I am pleased to see that my initial work in opening up the international arena for nursing students' educational experience has matured to become part of the School of Nursing's identity. The School of Nursing now offers students and faculty alike opportunity for individualized learning experiences abroad. | |
