Academic career

[edit]

Saewyc was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota.[1] She obtained a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Minnesota in 1996.[2][3][1] She then completed a Master of Nursing at the University of Washington in 1998 and a PhD in Nursing Science at UW in 1999.[2][4] After finishing at UW, she worked as an assistant professor in the Department of Nursing at the University of Minnesota until she joined the faculty of Nursing at the University of British Columbia in 2004.[4][5] In the same year, she became the research director of the McCreary Centre Society, a title she still holds.[2][6] In 2006 Saewyc became executive director of the Stigma and Resilience Among Vulnerable Youth Centre (SARAVYC) at UBC.[7][8][2][9] She is a fellow in the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (2013), the American Academy of Nursing (2016) as well as the Canadian Academy of Nursing (2020).[10][2]

Her research has focused on public health and health equity for marginalized youth, especially queer youth, and the impacts of trauma and discrimination.[11][12][10][1] She was appointed director of the UBC School of Nursing in July 2017.[4][10] Through SARAVYC, she has made public comments based on the organization's research, such as speaking in support of British Columbia's SOGI (sexual orientation and gender identity) educational resource policies.[13] She was reappointed for a second five-year term as the director of UBC's School of Nursing in July 2022.[14]
