Biography

Graham McCaffrey's research focuses on nursing humanities, trauma-informed care, addictions, and mental health. With a clinical background in mental health nursing, he views mental health through socio-cultural contexts. He authored the book 'Nursing Humanities' (Routledge, 2020), which discusses the treatment relationship and the role of nursing humanities. He is a member of the Advisory Council for the Canadian Association of Health Humanities, specializing in hermeneutic research. He has presented at the Canadian Hermeneutics Institute and the North American Society for Philosophical Hermeneutics, exploring themes of interpretation, poetry, and nursing from the perspective of Kearney's carnal hermeneutics. His research areas include trauma-informed care, examining its implications in practice settings and organizational environments, as well as health humanities, which involve applying humanities methods to analyze health, illness, and healthcare in professional education. McCaffrey is also interested in hermeneutic philosophy and its application in nursing research, focusing on embodied cognition and enactivism.
