Abstract

The call to implement anti-racism pedagogy in nursing education and practice is reverberating globally. Racist ideologies are foundational to systems of health inequity. An antiracist approach is critical to dismantling systemic racism and promoting optimal health outcomes in the quest for health equity. Therefore, employing an anti-racist pedagogy within nursing education that allows students and teachers to reflect on their roles in dismantling racist structures and transforming equity outcomes in practice and society, is a moral undertaking. However, for nursing education to make significant inroads in health equity, it cannot be guided by the same Eurocentric motives and value systems that continue to shape health inequities. We must transcend the boundaries of Eurocentric knowledge construction to intentionally shift how nurses think and practice within systems of inequities. Alongside the pressing and growing call for radical transformation of students and teachers through anti-racist pedagogy, we also provide directions to teaching strategies that support the uptake of anti-racism in nursing curricula and classroom engagement.
