Associate Professor, Queen's University, Ontario Pilar Camargo-Plazas, RN, PhD, is an Associate Professor at the School of Nursing, Queen’s University. Under the umbrella of interpretive inquiry and emancipatory approaches, Dr. Camargo-Plazas’s program of research strives to describe and understand how societies organize and distribute resources and address attention toward economic, political, environmental and social factors and their effects on health outcomes, promotion and disease prevention for equity-deserving groups (e.g., older persons, women, families living on a low income, immigrants, refugees, etc.). By focusing on health equity, her research program aims not only to identify research needs but also to develop strategies for sustainable change and action that promote equity in nursing practices for these groups.
Nurse Practitioner, PhD Nursing Student, Queen's University, Ontario I am a 4th year PhD nursing student at Queen’s University, School of Nursing. I completed my undergraduate nursing education and my master in nursing/nurse practitioner at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University). My PhD research is focused on understanding what it is like to live with diabetes in Liberia. I am particularly interested in how social, economic, political, and historical factors/structures influence the experience of living with diabetes in Liberia. My research interest is fuelled by my experience with global health outreach in Liberia. I am learning how I can use my voice and platform to advocate for policies and programs that support equity-deserving persons living with chronic illnesses.
