Reflections on whiteness: Racialised identities in nursing
1Department of Nursing, Midwifery and Child Health, Centre for Critical Research in Nursing and Midwifery, The Burroughs, Middlesex University, London, UK.
Abstract:
In this article, I discuss the structural domination of whiteness as it intersects with the potential of individual critique and reflexivity. I reflect on my positioning as a white nurse researcher while researching international nurse migration. I draw on two large qualitative studies and one small focus group study to discuss my reactions as a white researcher to evidence of institutional racism in the British health services and my growing awareness of how racism is reproduced in the British nursing profession.
