This course will provide a grand tour of research, scholarship and innovation happening within nursing at the EMCON, throughout the University of Massachusetts, and within the broader interdisciplinary ecosystem. This course will also expand learners? views of nursing scholarship by examining past and current discourse on nursing research informed by knowledge gaps, interdisciplinary collaboration, community needs and priorities, and engagement.

In this course, learners will build a foundation in philosophy of science, philosophy of nursing, and history of these ideas as they begin their doctoral education. This course will emphasize philosophical paradigms relevant and useful to nursing thought, including critical race theory, indigenous knowledge ways, feminist thought, materialism, empiricism/positivism/postpositivism, poststructuralism, postmodernism, and posthumanism as well as those philosophies identified by students as interesting/compelling/innovative/words.

Engagement with learning and practice communities is essential for knowledge co-creation and the development of nursing scholarship. In this course, learners will engage in a critical analysis of how communities are conceptualized, other(ed), and exploited. Learners will also apply principles of cultural humility, respect, accountability and justice as they engage with communities of learning and practice.

This course is designed to prepare students to portray patients with common health disruptions during health care simulations, a primary teaching mechanism in academic programs and health care facilities.
