In 2010, Dr. Sandrine Galliard-Kenney and Dr. Brianna Kent attended a day-long human trafficking seminar and noticed that not one healthcare professional had been included on any panel. They left thinking their field had more to contribute.
In Season 3 of Behind the Scenes: How Faculty Bring Learning to Life at NSU, the focus is community in action and how NSU faculty serve, partner, and make an impact. Dr. Marti Snyder talks with Dr. Galliard-Kenney and Dr. Kent about CREATE, the Coalition for Research and Education Against Trafficking and Exploitation, now in its 16th year of connecting survivors with free clinical services across NSU's health colleges. They discuss how photovoice research gave survivors control over how their experiences were documented and shared, how trafficking awareness has been built into health curricula from the undergraduate through doctoral level, and what this work has changed in them personally. Faculty interested in community-engaged research, trauma-informed care, or interprofessional education will find a lot to take from this conversation.
