Ismalia de Sousa

I'm a PhD candidate in the UBC School of Nursing under the supervision of Dr. Sally Thorne and Dr. Sandra Lauck. My primary research interest is health inequities in stroke care, which is the focus of my PhD. During my PhD, I developed a secondary interest in critical history, culminating in a project examining the history of Black nurses in British Columbia, 1845-1910
