As president of the International Association for Human Caring [1996 – 1999] I initiated the International Journal for Human Caring, to help disseminate care/caring scholarly work. Some of my most recent work is in analyzing and synthesizing findings across studies of caring. I was the founding Editor and continued as Editor from 1997-2001.”
