Intersectionality and career experiences of racially & ethnically minoritised women in healthcare leadership | New publication
Ifeoluwa Adesina, PhD candidate, Monash University
We’re pleased to share this latest publication led by PhD candidate Ifeoluwa Adesina, titled “Intersectionality in healthcare leadership: a scoping review on the career experiences of racially and ethnically minoritised women health professionals”, published in the International Journal for Equity in Health.
This review provides a comprehensive overview of current research examining how the combined effects of gender and race or ethnicity shape the workplace experiences, career paths, and leadership opportunities of women health professionals with racially and ethnically minoritised identities. It serves as the foundation for a broader study aimed at exploring the various individual, interpersonal, organisational, and societal factors that influence the professional journeys and progression of racially and ethnically minoritised women doctors within the Australian healthcare system.
Congratulations to Ife for leading this important work and contributing invaluable insights to the international conversation on equity in healthcare leadership – including highlighting the further work to be done to achieve true fairness and representation for women in healthcare leadership roles.
