1. The marginalisation of nurses and clients within the healthcare service and nursing profession. Organizers: NWSA 2009 Conference -"Difficult Dialogues" Keynotes/Speakers: Angela Davis, Civil Rights Activist Theme: The marginalisation of nurses and clients within the healthcare service and nursing profession. This paper investigates ways inwhich two black bodies, a black nurse who occupies a privilleged seat,experiences both racism from her fellow colleagues and disempowerment. At the same time she explores the interaction of a client, a recipient of the healthcare system, is marginalised within the same system she felt would help her. The engaging of these different women hold many similarities-they occupy visible and invisible marginalized spaces, within a profession who itself is marginalised within the global market. This paper uses the lived experiences of both lives to unravel the complexities of speaking and acting aross the multiple margins that exist within the marginalised space of nursing Suggested Topics: I am a student looking for colaborators for a panel on this theme CFP Address: 16 Saint Ives Court, Woodbridge.
