  • 1.  Invitation: 3rd lecture in the CSUCI Black Scholars on Black Lives Lecture Series

    Posted Mar 27, 2021 01:58 PM

    The John Spoor Broome Library is proud to present the next lecture in our "Black Scholars on Black Lives" Lecture Series. Please join us in welcoming our very own Dr. LaSonya Davis on Tuesday, March 30th, from 5:30pm - 6:30pm as Dr. Davis presents "Health Inequity: An Academic Crisis in America."

    Dr. Davis holds a Doctorate in Nursing Practice from Western University of Health Sciences, a post-graduate certification as a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner from Duke University and is an Associate Professor of Nursing at California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI). She has served as Assistant Chair of the Nursing Program for the last 5 years and is currently the Inaugural President's Faculty Leadership Fellow for 20/21 academic year. In her role as the President's Faculty Fellow, she has been building her leadership capacity in higher education by working directly with the university president on the campus strategic initiatives. Her main focus has been in the areas of diversity, inclusion, and reduction of equity gaps in minority students.

    An audience Q&A will follow the presentation and 10 student attendees will be the lucky recipients of Dr. Davis's book choice, Harriet Washington's Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans From Colonial Times to the Present. All are welcome to this event, please feel free to share widely. To register to attend this event, Click HERE.
