Speaker: Patricia D’Antonio, PhD, RN, FAAN
Associate Professor, University of Pennsylvania, School of Nursing
Title: American Nursing: A History of Knowledge, Authority and the Meaning of Work
Abstract: This new interpretation of the history of nursing in the United States captures the many ways women and men reframed the most traditional of all gender expectations—that of caring for the sick—to create new possibilities for themselves, to renegotiate the terms of some of their life experiences, and to reshape their own senses of worth and power. Patricia D'Antonio looks closely at this history—using a new analytic framework that captures the diversity of nursing and a rich trove of archival sources—and finds complex, multiple meanings in the choices of women and men who chose a nursing career
