Research InterestsMeryn, as principal investigator, and seven co-applicants from departments of nursing and history across the country, were awarded a SSHRC grant of approximately $120,000 in April of 2006 for a three-year project entitled “Canadian Nursing History in the Cultures of Colonialism and Nationalism”. This multi-disciplinary project aims to explore and better understand how nurses and their work influenced and were influenced by changing notions of health, citizenship and national belonging in Canada. The production of a thematic history text of particular use to nursing students is the end goal of this research.Useful Links*
