Project NeLL: Radically Transforming Nursing Research‍
Wednesday, March 16, 2022, 4 – 5pm

Join the Emory Nurses' Alumni Association for a virtual, immersive event featuring alumni research that highlights the role of nursing science in solving complex problems and prepare nursing students to accelerate the future of patient care through data analytics. Staying Alive in Little Five is an exhibit that highlights harm reduction efforts being carried out in Little Five Points, Atlanta by service industry workers. Sarah Febres-Cordero, PhD and sequential artist, Joseph Karg, MFA began a collaboration to disseminate findings from a qualitative research study that sought to describe the experiences of community members who encountered and rescued someone from an opioid overdose in their place of work. Little Five Points is a community well known for its love of the arts, and therefore to provide culturally appropriate dissemination back to the community that participated in the study, a graphic novel was chosen as a way to make the findings accessible and useful to the members of Little Five Points. One chapter will be presented at Science Gallery 2022 that highlights one of the opioid overdose rescues that occurred in Little Five Points. By sharing the encounter with others there are opportunities for discussion on topics such as how to identify an overdose, how to respond to an overdose, and methods of harm reduction being practiced in communities. Additionally, the chapter includes topics for discussion, therefore providing a safe space to confront the stigma associated with drug use. Event Fee pp: $10.00 (Includes 1 general admission ticket) Course Instructor: Guy Robinson, a full-time artist with over thirty-five years’ experience teaching drawing and painting for Emory University’s continuing education program. See his gallery exhibition from summer 2021.

Course Fee pp: $15.00 (Includes supplies, and refreshments)
Event Fee pp: $35 (Includes 4-3oz wines and charcuterie for 1)
