Since my academic degrees in cultural anthropology, transcultural nursing, certificates in ethics and transcultural nursing, and studies in the sciences of complexity, and human caring, I have been dedicated to teaching, conducting research, and service in varied complex organizations, universities, hospitals, and health care systems to facilitate awareness, education, understanding, problem solving, and improvement of patient,client/student/administrator outcomes. I have completed a book in 2009, "Transcultural Caring Dynamics in Nursing and Health Care" using a model with numerous case studies describing and analyzing the interrelationship of the essence of caring, transcultural caring ethics, transcultural context (complex systems and cultures), and universal sources (religions/spirituality) to facilitate choices wtihin dynamic transcultural and global communities for healing, health, and well-being. I am co-editing a book with a colleague on "Complexity, Caring and Choice for Human Environment Well Being" to facilitate problem solving in complex organizations in local and global communities. Transcultural caring and communitarian ethics have been the foundation for much of the work and institution-building that I do to help improve the health and well being and working life of diverse people in complex systems.
