“…Healthcare organizations and the healthcare system have a lot to say in enabling or constraining nurses' agency in the microspaces of practice (Nairn, 2009 ). This dual perspective avoids blaming approaches which are so frequent in nursing (Perron et al, 2014 ) by focusing on the narratives of nurses' actions over the forms of power defining their status (Hutchinson et al, 2018 ; Lee & Logan, 2019 ). Theorizing agency in this way needs to be taken into account to understand how nurses reflect and act upon structures that have not placed them as peers in healthcare organizations and in the healthcare system, and to understand to what extent these structures are capable of working as means for nurses' emancipation (Alvesson & Willmott, 2002 ).…”

The idea of agency has long been used in the nursing literature in the study of nurses' roles regarding the patients they take care of, but it has not often been used to study its relationship with nurses themselves and their status in the healthcare system. The purpose of this article is to analyze how the idea of agency is used in nursing research to better understand how we might advance our thinking around nurses' agency to shape nursing and healthcare with an emancipatory intent. Based on the results of a literature review focused on the study of conceptions, treatments, and applications of the concept of agency in nursing, we present a critical discussion to reflect on the need to consistently define the idea of nurses' agency, to guide research concerned with this topic in theoretical frameworks with emancipatory and social change tenets, and to make a call to develop the idea of agency as a central one to rework nurses' relationship with themselves. The idea of agency provides a valuable analytical framework for the study of a wide range of issues around nurses' status in healthcare organizations and in the healthcare system while offering a means for nurses' emancipation.

“…The paradox is the question of why women participate in religious organizations that seemingly oppose their individual freedoms. While the earliest research on women and gender-conservative religions viewed women as simply submitting to the authority of the religion, this approach was reframed as work on agency and women’s behavior within patriarchal society overall, and women’s agency in religion, in particular, advanced (Avishai 2008; Lee and Logan 2019; Meyers 2002). Instead of examining the power of the structure of religion, the focus of current research examines how, within that structure, the individual is still agentic.…”

Using the concept of agency, this article examines the choices Black Clergywomen make when offered guest speaking engagements where they would be prohibited from speaking from the pulpit. In-depth interviews were conducted with eighteen African American clergywomen. Utilizing the concept of agency in gender-conservative religions, findings demonstrate that the women engage in resistance and empowerment through their acceptance or decline of invitations. Theory of agency in gender-conservative religions is advanced by demonstrating that the examination of a wider religious context, as opposed to a single denomination, may be useful in understanding agency.
