RCN History of Nursing Annual Lecture
Thursday 29 October, doors open 6pm (talk starts 6.30)
Royal College of Nursing, 20 Cavendish Square, London W1G 0RN
Professor Sioban Nelson is a well-known nursing historian and policy scholar. In this talk, she will be presenting material from her current book project, “Object matters: A General History of Nursing Through Material Culture”. The book tackles the history of nursing through a series of objects from thirteenth-century hospital seals, to steamer trunks and boxing gloves. “Into the ring: Industrial legislation, nursing professional associations and the rise of trade unionism among nurses in Denmark, Canada and the United Kingdom in the 1970s” will take as its starting point the boxing gloves of the prominent Danish nursing leader, Kirsten Stallknecht. It will examine rising militancy among nurses in the 1970s, and the diverse ways the UK’s Royal College of Nursing, Denmark’s Danish Nurses Organization, and Canada’s Registered Nurses Association of Ontario navigated the rapidly changing industrial climate of the era and the consequences for the nursing profession.
Tickets are free and include light refreshments. Book at: https://www.rcn.org.uk/news-and-events/events/history-of-nursing-lecture-into-the-ring-rise-of-unionism-291026
