Perceived Changes in Attitudes and Behavioral Intentions Among Postsecondary Students Following Instructors’ Disclosures of Mental Illness and/or Neurodiversity
Little is known about how postsecondary students experience instructors’ disclosures of mental illness and/or neurodiversity in the classroom. This exploratory study queried students’ ( n = 330) understandings of how these revelations shaped their perceptions of disclosing instructors, behavioral intentions, and attitudes toward mental illness. Most students reported that instructors’ disclosures had positively influenced their perceptions of the…

Existing literature has described a diverse array of motivations for postsecondary instructors’ disclosures of mental illness in higher education classrooms.

This article focuses on female kidney transplant nurses, whose contributions, while often overlooked and underappreciated, were critical to the success of transplantation.

The paper then goes on to analyze the intellectual history of these comparisons, asking wh…

Black Nurses in White’
This article explores the complex motivations and influences which persuaded black women to enter nursing between the late 1940s and 1980 in South Africa. It shows how black nurses actively negotiated and reshaped the images associated with a world-wide sisterhood within the context of what Shula Marks has called a ‘divided sisterhood’ in South Africa. The individual voices of nurses are heard through semi-structured interviews of nurses trained …
