Hello! This is Carol Picard, Newsletter Editor and President-Elect of the IAHC. I am happy
to share the on-line newsletter with you! We are hoping to receive contributions about
what scholarly work members are involved with, and to create a forum for sharing of
information. Please send us your news. You can reach me at cpicard@partners.org.We are also hoping to have
the tables of contents from all issues of our journal, The International Journal of
Human Caring, on-line as well as a featured article from each edition. Look for this
soon on this website!
In a perusal of the past few years’ caring conference booklets, it is quite
impressive to consider all of the keynoters and presentations we have experienced:
1999: Cultural Diversity in the New Millenium in San Antonio, Texas
Christoher Johns, Fran Wenger, Madeleine Leininger, Jean Watson
1998: Communicating Caring, The Essence of Nursing in Philadelphia, Pennsylnavia
Max Van Manen, Madeleine Leininger, Ann Boykin, Cornelia Tsakiridou, Marilyn Ray
1997: Human Caring: The Primacy of Love and Existential Suffering in Helsinki
Finland
Ann Boykin, Katie Eriksson, Ingegerd Engberg, Agnes Bjorn, Elizabeth Farmer, Les
Fitzgerald, Sigridur Halldorsdottir, Unni Lindstrom, Kari Martinsen, Vivan Wahlberg
1996: Patterns of Caring: Universal Connections at the Mayo Medical Center
in Rochester Minnesota
Sara Harder, Helen Baker, Bala Subramaniam, Gwen Sherwood, Pat Farrell, Gary Nuttall,
Patricia Garber,Fran Reeder, Susan Moch, and Lynne Wagner
I am hoping in future editions of the newsletter to include abstracts of some of
the presentations from Boca and to invite participant responses to the conference in a
variety of formats.
Please let me know what thoughts you have for this newsletter at cpicard@partners.org.
