Nursing the Academy

Abstract

Discusses a personal return to the university in 1991 as the foundation Chair of Nursing at the Queen's U, Belfast, Ireland, in the context of a feminist vision of the academy. This appointment disrupted the existing power bases of nursing in Belfast, which were firmly in the control of men. The school was organized both to develop a strong theoretical basis for nursing knowledge & to increase nursing's status as a profession. The worlds of work & the academy met in the resistance of men to progressive proposals by women. Various examples demonstrate the patriarchal structure of nursing, both within & without the academy. It is suggested that the difficulties of establishing nursing in the academy are intimately related to the gender hierarchy in nursing generally. As such, advances in the former realm are dependent on changes in the latter. 18 References. D. M. Ryfe
