She in an enrolled member of Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians. She received her early nursing degrees (LPN and ADN) in Bemidji, Minnesota, and her BS and MS degrees in Nursing from the University of Wisconsin- Madison, and her PhD at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Her doctoral dissertation, completed in spring 2020, centers American Indian women’s voices by better understanding the individual lived experiences with intimate partner violence in urban areas of Wisconsin through in-depth qualitative interviews. Her dissertation data reveals barriers faced when seeking help after experiences of violence, before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. This data highlights the need for survivor-led and culturally safe interventions to provide survivors with the care and resources that they need and deserve. Her area of research and expertise include gender-based violence, community health nursing and the utilization and application of postcolonial and indigenous feminist methodologies. Her current work focuses on the impacts of intimate partner violence, sexual assault, and trafficking on the health and wellbeing of American Indian women and girls. She is a survivor of intimate partner violence and is passionate about sharing her knowledge and personal experiences to help to support and empower other women to transition to survivorhood.
Session Objectives
As a result of this accredited RSS session, learners as members of the healthcare team will be able to:
- Define decolonization in the context of Western research and in the development of collaborative and applicable projects with Indigenous research.
- Discuss how critical feminist frameworks are used as analytical lenses to better understand the complexity of the human experience and social inequality as well as promote Indigenous sovereignty by centering the voices of individuals and communities who have historically been silenced.
- Identify how decolonizing research methodologies align with an anti-oppressive research agenda through the partnerships and collaboration with tribal communities who are the experts about the needs of their respective communities.
