Dr. Ford-Gilboe
has been faculty member in School of Nursing since 1988. Over this time, her
teaching contributions have been in the areas of family nursing (undergraduate
program) and knowledge development and critical/feminist theory and research
(graduate program).She obtained a BscN degree from the University of Windsor
(1984), MscN degree from the University of Toronto (1987) and PhD from Wayne
State University, Detroit, Michigan (1994). Her research program, focussed
of understanding health promotion processes of single-parent families, is
a key aspect of the Family Health Promotion Research Program in the School
of Nursing. Since 1996, her work has been supported by a fellowship provided
by the MRC/NHRDP Joint Program for the Development of Research in Nursing
and operating grants from several agencies (eg. MRC, NHRDP, Canadian Nurses
Foundation). Her research is feminist in its orientation and much of this
work is grounded in the perspective of the Developmental Health Model, an
empowerment-oriented family nursing theory that is a theoretical extension
of the McGill Model of Nursing.
