Philosophies and Practices of Emancipatory Nursing

This anthology presents the philosophical and practice perspectives of nurse scholars whose works center on promoting praxis approaches to nursing research, practice, and education, meaning that their work lies within frameworks of social justice and critical theories. Chapters bridge critical theoretical frameworks and nursing science in ways that are understandable and useful for practicing nurses and other health professionals in clinical settings, in academia, and in research.
