About
Sabrina Jamal-Eddine, PhD BSN RN is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Disability and Human Development at University of Illinois Chicago. Dr. Jamal-Eddine is an interdisciplinary nurse scientist who earned her PhD in Nursing and Certificate in Disability Ethics from University of Illinois Chicago (UIC). Dr. Jamal-Eddine's doctoral research explored the use of spoken word poetry as a form of critical narrative pedagogy to educate nursing students about disability, ableism, and disability justice. Dr. Jamal-Eddine's goal is to create transformative change within healthcare education praxis by developing engaging anti-colonial pedagogic strategies rooted in the lived experiences of multiply marginalized disabled people. Her long-term goal is to found an applied public-humanities / community-engaged healthcare equity center in a university that confronts healthcare inequity, violence, and oppression and promotes liberation, humanization, and belongingness for all marginalized patients, students, and practitioners.
Sabrina has performed a spoken word TEDxTalk on her experience with Xenophobia and Islamophobia. This can be found here: go.osu.edu/tedxsabrina
