J. Craig Phillips

Professor J. Craig Phillips engages in scholarship and service through the lens of human rights and decolonization, which informs his community-engaged approach to research.

He is an expert in curriculum development and was senior co-chair of undergraduate curriculum renewal at the School of Nursing. He co-led an evidence-informed curriculum renewal that was designed to maximize the engagement of students, faculty members, and community partners. This work resulted in the creation of the Ottawa Model for Curriculum Development, which included a systematic review of curriculum revision literature and logic model development.

Professor Phillips is also co-director of the International Nursing Network for HIV Research and an investigator at the Centre for Research on Health and Nursing, a partnership between the University of Ottawa and the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA). His research focuses on the ecosocial context of health as a human right: he has documented social factors influencing health outcomes among marginalized populations, primarily persons living with HIV in Botswana, Canada, Nigeria, and the United States. Professor Phillips has received funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), professional organizations (American Nurses Foundation), and philanthropic foundations (Elton John AIDS Foundation) to carry out his research.

In 2015, Professor Phillips was inducted as a fellow of the American Academy of Nursing (FAAN) and in 2021, he was named a fellow of the Canadian Academy of Nursing (FCAN) for his significant contributions to advancing nursing and health policy globally, with emphasis on the rights and health of 2SLGBTQQIA+ peoples and persons living with HIV.

His nursing and human rights legal training and experience guide his practice as a nurse, nurse practitioner, nurse educator, researcher, and administrator. He has over two decades’ experience as a nurse or nurse practitioner working with persons living with HIV and/or mental illnesses in the United States and Canada.
