She was awarded her PhD in 2014 for an interpretive phenomenology study of the experience of stigma in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), has recently completed another funded project on the experience of kinship (family) stigma in IBD and has other active projects including an exploration of the experiences of young adults living with long fusion for idiopathic scoliosis, the experience of adjustment to intestinal stoma in people with IBD, and complex care needs of older people with IBD.

She publishes regularly in high impact international journals and presents at national and international conferences.

Dickerson, Suzanne
Suzanne Dickerson is a Professor and Department Chair of Bio-behavioural Health and Clinical Science at the University at Buffalo, School of Nursing. Her current research focuses on sleep science with the goal of understanding patients’ contextual meaning of sleep-wake disturbances through hermeneutical phenomenology. This insight forms the basis of new knowledge that can be instrumental in translating clinical research to practice that embeds meaningful approaches into care practices to improve sleep. She has developed an online course in the methodology and mentors PhD and visiting faculty in the approach. She is a senior member of the hermeneutic phenomenology institute group and mentors other members as well.

Vandermause, Roxanne
Roxanne Vandermause is the Interim Dean, Professor and the Donald L. Ross Endowed Chair for Advancing Nursing Practice at the University of Missouri-St. Louis College of Nursing. Her research involves the use of hermeneutical phenomenology and mixed methods to study addictions and racial/ethnic and gender disparities in care for mental health and other chronic conditions. She has presented across the U.S. and internationally and published widely in various venues. She teaches all educational levels in nursing and across various graduate-level disciplines, including coursework in ethics, theory and qualitative methodologies. Many of her PhD students use hermeneutical phenomenological methods to study human phenomena in the context of health and well-being and she is sought after for her expertise in these methods.
