About

Emmeline Rabelais is a white, disabled and immunocompromised, queer, non-binary, trans woman (she/her). She is an Interdependent Scholar & Artist. Her final position before permanent and total disability was as the Senior Scholar and Strategist and Chair of the Advisory Council to the UCSF Thelma Shobe Endowed Lectureship in Ethics & Social Justice, while held by Monica R. McLemore PhD, MPH, RN in 2021-2022, who in 2022 joined the University of Washington School of Nursing as Professor and Interim Director of the Center for Antiracism in Nursing. Emmeline had worked as an abolitionist health ethicist, problem-solver, story-teller, critical analyst, nurse, and disrupter and dismantler of whiteness and white supremacist feminisms in education, research, healthcare, and other settings. In addition to whiteness as racist violence, she also took on the rampant ableism and transmisogyny in nursing and its education and practice. Emmeline's goals in her work were to support community members, students, staff, administrators, faculty, and others to make current practices accessible and without oppression. Emmeline had done this with hospitals, academia, students, patients, researchers, educators, and others.
