Biography
Professor English is a Doctoral candidate who has been teaching nurses at the undergraduate and post-graduate level since 2002Her pedagogical praxis draws from her clinical experiences in acute care and professional practice, and her lived experiences in rural health and working with Indigenous communities. Kim’s narrative informed research explores the work of rural and remote nurses, celebrating their innovation and leadership. Kim’s work draws from the social sciences and humanities. She is privileged as a settler to be able to learn with and from many Indigenous nurses, elders, and colleagues to inform an anti-colonial lens to her understanding of context and health. This is important as she addresses issues in the provision of nursing education using virtual simulations, the impact of inclusive, anti-racist and anti-oppressive approaches to education. Kim has a particular interest in addressing racism in healthcare to serve as an ally to Indigenous populations. Internationally, Kim is working with a collective of Fellows from Switzerland, New Zealand, and Australia to explore the enhancement of scope of practice in rural areas to address primary healthcare needs. It is expected this fellowship will grow to include 5 additional countries. Kim has been the recipient of several teaching awards, including the Trent University Excellence in Online Education Award in 2020. Kim sits on the executive board of the Canadian Association of Rural and Remote Nurses and is a member of the Global Rural Nurse Exchange Network.
