Ruth Rodney is a registered nurse and Associate Professor at York University’s School of Nursing. She is also the Associate Director of the Harriet Tubman Institute at York University. Understanding her legacy as a descendent of past generations whose resistance and resolve ensured her existence, Ruth seeks out like minded individuals, spaces, and opportunities that recognize the interconnectedness of each other’s stories and work towards disrupting/dismantling and then reimagining systems that are more equitable. Her research primarily focuses on co-creating and documenting knowledge with communities on healthy relationship development, violence prevention, and health promotion, using critical qualitative and decolonizing methodologies.
