New Anteater Insider Podcast Episode: Scholarly Values and Healthcare

May 23, 2025

Duncan Pritchard, Distinguished Professor of philosophy and chair of the Year of Scholarly Values Committee, discusses how scholarly values drive health education and patient care with Mark Lazenby, dean of UCI’s Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing. Lazenby integrates the humanities into his school’s teaching and research efforts. His approach may seem revolutionary, but from the pioneering work of Mary Seacole and Florence Nightingale, through the academic advancements led by Annie Goodrich, to Lazenby’s modern reflections, the humanities have remained a constant, transformative force in nursing. Integrating literature, philosophy, history, ethics and the arts remains vital for preparing nurses to address the challenges of human suffering and to advocate for a more just and compassionate healthcare system.
