Dr. Allie Slemon joined the School of Nursing in 2023. She began her nursing career as a Registered Nurse in mental health inpatient settings before completing her Master’s and PhD at the University of British Columbia. Her program of research focuses on remediating inequities in health and health care by enhancing capacity for equity and social justice within the nursing profession, nursing education, and the health care system more broadly. Additional research interests include inquiry into mental health care, including addressing stigma and discrimination, and critical examination of safety and risk discourses.
