C. June Strickland Ph.D., RN

I am a retired Professor Emerita in the Department of Biobehavioral Nursing and Health Informatics. My research focus is in advancing the science and practice of transcultural nursing in the area of prevention with American Indian/Alaska Natives.  I have aimed to support the advancement of American Indian/Alaska (AI/AN) Native health through research, teaching and community service. In this respect, I have a history of over 25 years of research with tribes in Washington state and designed women’s health screening programs culturally tailored for AI/AN women.  I worked closely with two Coast Salish tribes to establish community health clinical rotations for the University of Washington School of Nursing undergraduate and graduate students in 1997 which continue to be provided. I also developed a manual of lesson plans and a related video series to advance the preparation of tribes in grant writing.  I am an Associate Editor for the Journal of Transcultural Nursing, served on the Spirit of Eagles Community Network project for over 20 years and remain active in professional organization such and the Transcultural Nursing Society and the Native Research Network.
