A fireside chat with Elizabeth McGibbon, PhD, a professor in the Faculty of Science at St. Francis Xavier University and applied critical health social scientist, to discuss her recent article on advancing health equity for 2SLGBTQIA+ people, published in the May edition of Healthcare Management Forum dedicated to evidence-based leadership - https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/08404704231210868
Elizabeth McGibbon will discuss how health leaders can genuinely address inequity by systematically infusing organizational leadership with competencies that consider power (hierarchical, systemic, and structural). She will also demonstrate how a complex adaptive systems approach can better support critical perspectives, and provide practical recommendations for health leaders to provoke and promote system change. Elizabeth will also be joined by Wanda Phillips-Beck, RN, BN, MSc, PhD, the First Nations Health and Social Secretariat of Manitoba as well as Jess Crawford, RN, a master’s student at the College of Nursing in the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, who has researched trans health education and how educators approach the topic. This session is moderated by Annette Schultz, RN, PhD, a professor in the College of Nursing at the University of Manitoba who has done extensive mixed methods research related to health systems policies and structural determinants of health.
