The sixth Annual Rita M. McGinley Symposium

Social Justice for Vulnerable Populations: The Face of the Person who has Experienced Violence

The term violence is derived from two Latin words that mean to “carry force.” By the mid-thirteenth century, violence was understood as physical force used to inflict injury and damage. Today, educators, social scientists, health professionals, ethicists and experts in crime and mental health define, categorize, analyze, report experiences of violence, and study perpetrators and those most at risk. Yet, in the face of heightened awareness and solid evidence about the short and long term effects on persons who inflict, witness, or experience violence, violence continues to increase worldwide.

Interpersonal violence often occurs between people who live in close proximity with each other. Violent attacks on children or adolescents by parents or family friends, abuse by persons who are helpers, teachers, health care workers, priests, and policemen erode trust, threatening normal development and limiting the capacity to form meaningful relationships. People who have been abused, especially if the violence occurs early in life, often suffer from depression, PTSD, and a myriad of physical illnesses.

Violence affects everyone. Ordinary people are becoming desensitized to violent acts as they acknowledge their vulnerability and avoid persons who live in neighborhoods that are zones of violence and chaos. Violence is not only a public health epidemic; it is an experience that renders a person vulnerable.

The sixth annual Rita M. McGinley Symposium, The Face of the Person who has Experienced Violence, challenges commonly held perceptions of violence and invites participants to be part of the solution, entering into dialogue and working together to restore human dignity, heal violent communities and reach out with love to persons who have experienced violence.

The Rita M. McGinley SymposiumThe annual Rita M. McGinley Symposium, sponsored by the Duquesne University School of Nursing, provides a national forum where scholars, researchers, policy makers and health care professionals can share ideas for alleviating disparities in health, wellness and access to health care services. The School of Nursing hosts this national forum on health care issues, using the tradition of Catholic social thought as a unifying principle.

Duquesne University is an ideal place for a symposium on social justice and health care. Duquesne was founded in 1878 by the Congregation of the Holy Spirit, the Spiritans, a Catholic missionary order that assists needy and marginalized persons throughout the world. The McGinley Symposium is made possible through a generous endowment from the Rita M. McGinley Foundation.

The Jacques Laval Endowed Chair for Justice for Vulnerable Populations

Rosemary Donley, S.C., PhD, APRN-BC, FAAN Addressing social injustice is a key aspect of Duquesne University’s heritage and character, and our commitment to helping those most in need is being advanced through the efforts of Sr. Rosemary Donley, holder of the Jacques Laval Endowed Chair in Justice for Vulnerable Populations.

In addition to teaching and conducting research related to health care access and quality for underserved persons and communities, Sr. Donley is the principal organizer of the McGinley Symposium.

The Laval Chair is endowed through a bequest from the estate of the late Thomas F. Bogovich, a 1953 Duquesne University School of Business graduate.

Rita M. McGinley, Educator and Philanthropist

A teacher and guidance counselor in Braddock, Pennsylvania, her hometown, Rita McGinley helped when powerful people ignored the region’s shuttered mills and emerging social problems. She provided leadership, inspiration and much-needed funding for numerous charitable organizations, and her influence has been profound and long lasting. The endowment of the Rita M. McGinley Symposium on Social Justice for Vulnerable People at the Duquesne School of Nursing is a living testament to her desire to encourage nurses, teachers, social workers, physicians and advocates in their work with underserved and forgotten people.

Rev. Jacques Laval, C.S.Sp.The Laval Chair is named for Jacques Laval, a 17th century missionary, physician and member of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit, the Catholic order that founded Duquesne University. He worked among freed slaves on the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius, where he was able to restore a sense of dignity to people who had been freed but not liberated.

This first endowed chair in the School of Nursing calls attention to the faculty’s identification with Duquesne’s mission and the social justice tradition of the Catholic Church.

Keynote Speakers

JACQUELYN CAMPBELL, BSN, MSN, PhDProfessor and Anna D. Wolf ChairNational Program Director, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Nurse Faculty ScholarsJohns Hopkins School of Nursing

Dr. Campbell has 30 years of experience as a researcher, clinician and educator in the area of violence against women and health outcomes. Since starting her research career with an investigation of homicide of women that showed prior intimate partner violence (IPV) as the primary risk factor for femicide, Dr. Campbell has conducted 13 major studies as the primary investigator of physical and mental health consequences of intimate partner violence, sexual assault, reproductive coercion and abuse during pregnancy (including PTSD and HIV/AIDS). She has developed and tested culturally appropriate interventions in the health care system and the community that improve its response to victims of IPV and co-occurring health inequities among vulnerable populations. She is the first National Program Director for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Nurse Faculty Scholar Awards which provides research funding, leadership training and mentorship for junior nurse researchers.

RICHARD GARLAND, MSWCenter for Health EquityDepartment of Behavioral and Community Health Sciences Graduate School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh

Mr. Garland devotes most of his time to working with troubled youth, especially those involved in gangs and violence. He frequently works with police departments throughout the state of Pennsylvania and provides training to police departments and community-based organizations. Mr. Garland heads the Center’s Violence Prevention Project and as a part of these efforts, he oversees training, data collection and outreach efforts aimed at reducing crime and violence. Mr. Garland will soon begin the Hospital Based Intervention Project that will focus on gunshot wound victims in the four major trauma units in Pittsburgh. In an effort to stop recidivism and provide care management services, Mr. Garland will work to change the lifestyle of the gunshot wound victim. He completed his master’s degree in social work in 1996, specializing in community organization. He has received numerous awards for his service, including the Lucien E. Blackwell award from Philadelphia Mayor, Michael Nutter, for contributions to the greater community in 2009, and the Courage to Comeback Award from the St. Francis Foundation on Overcoming Economic Diversity in 1998.

His research has investigated how clinicians make judgments about the risk posed by adults with mental illness and juvenile offenders, and what treatments are appropriate in these types of cases. He has recently served as the principal investigator on a longitudinal study of serious adolescent offenders, the Pathways to Desistance study, and as a member of two National Academy of Sciences panels assessing juvenile justice reform. Dr. Mulvey is currently a member of the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency and chair of the Science Advisory Board for the Office of Justice Programs of the U. S. Department of Justice.
