Join us for an online talk that sets the history of migration and nursing in the context of imperialism.
The Colonial Nursing Association was founded in 1895 to send trained nurses across the British Empire, while myths about the ‘civilising’ role of colonialism were widespread. This talk sets the history of migration and nursing in the context of imperialism.
Hear from authors Subhadra Das (Uncivilised: Ten Lies That Made the West) and Kandace Chimbiri (The Story of Britain’s Black Nurses) about how empire shaped nursing history.
This event is online and open to all.
