Biography
Dr. Lisa Goldberg teaches in the areas of 2SLGBTQ+ nursing, equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility, (EDIA), perinatal and community health nursing, nursing philosophy, and caring science. Using innovative feminist, queer, and arts-based methodologies, her research, and educational scholarship explores the taken-for-granted nature of birthing and similar practices that contribute, albeit often unknowingly to the systemic and institutional harms experienced by historically and currently underrepresented communities (i.e. (2SLGBTQ+). In June of 2022, Lisa was invited to become a Faculty Associate with the Watson Caring Science Institute (WCSI), building on her experience as a WCSI Certified Caritas Coach. Lisa uses her expertise as a Caritas Coach, not only in her teaching and scholarship, but also in her leadership roles focusing on the student experience. Between 2021-2023, she was the Associate Director of Undergraduate Student Affairs in Nursing, and most recently, Lisa is the new Assistant Dean of Student Supervisory Relations in the Faculty of Graduate Studies.
