Discussion with Marci Cottingham: Heroism and Defiance in American Nursing Discussion with Marci D. Cottingham

Hero discourse provides a comforting public narrative when certainty is in short supply. But placing groups on a pedestal strictly delimits expectations for how heroes should act and feel. American sociologist Marci Cottingham examines the roots and contemporary constructions of the heroic nurse ideal, captured in the image of Florence Nightingale and her emphasis on an ethic of selfless compassion. This ideal truncates the range of emotions available to nurses, with anger, hate, and self-interests seen as off limits. 16.06.2025, 16:00, Habelschwerdter Allee 45 (Rost-, Silberlaube), Room KL 24/122D
