Beyond Cultural Competence: Teaching about Race, Gender, Class, and Sexual Orientation.

Abrums, Mary E.; Leppa, Carol

Journal of Nursing Education, v40 n6 p270-75 Sep 2001

Teaching cultural competence to nursing students typically emphasizes cultural beliefs and values rather than race, gender, class, or sexual orientation issues. Relational positionality can help students recognize what they consider "normal" and how the dominant view of normalcy can oppress others. (Contains 42 references.) (SK)
