Stephanie Nixon, PhD, is Vice Dean (Health Sciences) and Director (School of Rehabilitation Therapy) at Queen’s University. Prior to joining Queen’s in July 2022, Stephanie spent 15 years as a professor in the Department of Physical Therapy at the University of Toronto. She completed her PhD in Public Health and Bioethics in 2006 at the University of Toronto, and a post-doc at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa in 2007. Stephanie was director of the International Centre for Disability and Rehabilitation from 2012-2021. Stephanie is a straight, white, middle class, able-bodied, cisgender, settler woman who tries to understand the pervasive effects of privilege. Stephanie developed the Coin Model of Privilege and Critical Allyship as a way to translate core ideas about anti-oppression to people in positions of unearned advantage.

Privilege and Its Linkages with Humanity in Healthcare
What might be the link between privilege (i.e., unearned advantage received from historic systems of inequality) and humanity in healthcare? This session draws on the Coin Model of Privilege and Critical Allyship (Nixon, 2019) to connect the dots to not only the humanity of our patients, students and colleagues, but also ourselves. This interactive talk is designed to meet people where they are at in their journeys of learning/unlearning about privilege, oppression and allyship – whether they have been in this work for a long while, are just arriving, or (like many of us) somewhere in the middle.

The recording will be shared with registrants approximately one week after the session.
