Pilar Camargo-Plazas

Pilar Camargo-Plazas, RN, PhD, is an Associate Professor at the School of Nursing, Queen’s University. Under the umbrella of interpretive inquiry and emancipatory approaches, Dr. Camargo-Plazas’s program of research strives to describe and understand how societies organize and distribute resources and address attention toward economic, political, environmental and social factors and their effects on health outcomes, promotion and disease prevention for equity-deserving groups (e.g., older persons, women, families living on a low income, immigrants, refugees, etc.). By focusing on health equity, her research program aims not only to identify research needs but also to develop strategies for sustainable change and action that promote equity in nursing practices for these groups.
