Excited to be heading to San Diego for the 2018 AAHN conference. It is my first time presenting a joint paper with my colleague Glenn Iceton! Our paper examines frontier nursing activities by Anglican missionaries Isaac and Sadie Stringer in the Yukon. The paper specifically considers the gendered and colonial dynamics of healthcare delivery in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries among whaling and indigenous communities on Herschel Island.
Join our panel at 1 pm on September 14 in Point Loma A.
