We are honored to use our digital platform to feature exceptional scholarly work from UW nursing students, focusing on topics centered around Anti-Racism and health equity. It is crucial that students’ voices are amplified in this space, as it disrupts the power structures within academia and nursing that, historically, propped up the white supremacist status quo in both spaces. Equity is one of our core values, so we believe amplifying the voices of those with disproportionately less institutional power is one path toward equity in nursing and academia. We also strive to follow in the foot steps of our namesake, Dr. Lois Price Spratlen and Ms. Frankie Manning, both of whom were tireless advocates for nursing students, establishing scholarships, providing mentorship and support, to name a few things.
