Dr. Annette Bailey is Associate Dean of Graduate Studies and Internationalization and Associate Professor with the Daphne Cockwell School of Nursing in the Faculty of Community Services. She completed her PhD in Public Health Science with a specialization in Health Promotion and Education. Her research examines traumatic stress and resilience among survivors of community and interpersonal violence. Her research interests span violence prevention, violence and trauma, trauma and resilience, homicide loss, and resilience and grief. Her most recent research activity focused on traumatic stress and resilience among Black women who have lost children to gun violence and Black youth who have lost loved ones to gun violence in Toronto.
Dr. Bailey has worked in both acute and community health nursing settings. Much of her work in community health nursing has focused on interagency collaboration to address key determinants of health for diverse populations in Toronto. She is frequently called upon to support violence prevention initiatives and education at municipal, national, and international levels. In 2021, Dr. Bailey was named one of Ontario's most outstanding university teachers by the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations.
Dr. Bailey has co-led the Faculty Working Group of the Presidential Implementation Committee to Confront Anti-Black Racism at TMU. In this role, she championed the establishment of university-wide initiatives and programs for Black scholars and students, including TMU's Black Scholarship Institute and a Postdoctoral Fellowship Program for Black scholars.
As Associate Dean of Graduate Studies and Internationalization, Dr. Bailey has worked to advance the faculty's leadership in addressing CST/OCSE. She supported the development and launch of the Executive Leadership Program in CST/OCSE, as well as the creation of a master's program dedicated to combating these critical global challenges. These efforts reflect a dedicated commitment to confronting complex social issues that threaten the health, safety, livelihood, and aspirations of marginalized communities.
