Biography


Roxanne Vandermause is a registered nurse, professor, and Gladys E. Sorenson Endowed Chair for Nursing at UNMC College of Nursing. Her research involves community-based projects to find solutions for barriers to health care, with an emphasis on issues related to addictions and mental health. She has been active in studying adolescent and women’s health, particularly related to Relational Health. Her expertise in qualitative methodologies and hermeneutic phenomenology has been sought nationally and internationally and has been the source of many research-practice partnerships. She joined UNMC following administrative roles at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, as PhD program director, associate dean of research, and dean of the College of Nursing. She is interested in working with faculty and students on qualitative and multi-method research approaches and advancing community-engaged research, practice, and education.
