President’s Message Dear Scholars, Welcome to our 40th Annual IAHC Conference in beautiful Greenville, SC. This year’s theme: Caring and Interprofessional Practice: Re-imagining the Patient Care Experience grounds us in the understanding that IAHC represents a broad community of scholars brought together to advance the science of human caring. To re-imagine is to imagine anew – to form a new conception (Merriam-WeBster Online Dictionary). Over the next few days, caring scholars from around the world will call on us to re- imagine living caring with each other and our patients! In honor of our 40th anniversary, we have placed images of past conference brochures throughout the 2019 program. Whether you are a first-time attendee or a founding member, I invite you to reflect on memories past, acknowledge your present contriButions and re-imagine yourself as an essential part of IAHC’s future! This year we are also celeBrating the re-imagining of the IAHC Logo! Kathleen Sitzman and I have provided canvas totes with the new logo as a gift. It is our hope that you will carry them proudly and increase the visibility of IAHC wherever you go! I am grateful to Dr.

  • The Broken Promises of an All-Volunteer Military
    THE BROKEN PROMISES OF AN ALL-VOLUNTEER MILITARY * Matthew Ivey “God and the soldier all men adore[.] In time of trouble—and no more, For when war is over, and all things righted, God is neglected—and the old soldier slighted.”1 “Only when the privileged classes perform military service does the country define the cause as worth young people’s blood. Only when elite youth are on the firing line do war losses become more acceptable.”2 “Non sibi sed patriae”3 INTRODUCTION In the predawn hours of March 11, 2012, Staff Sergeant Robert Bales snuck out of his American military post in Kandahar, Afghanistan, and allegedly murdered seventeen civilians and injured six others in two nearby villages in Panjwai district.4 After Bales purportedly shot or stabbed his victims, he piled their bodies and burned them.5 Bales pleaded guilty to these crimes in June 2013, which spared him the death penalty, and he was sentenced to life in prison without parole.6 How did this former high school football star, model soldier, and once-admired husband and father come to commit some of the most atrocious war crimes in United States history?7 Although there are many likely explanations for Bales’s alleged behavior, one cannot help but to * The author is a Lieutenant Commander in the United States Navy.

  • The Fragility of the Free American Press
    Copyright 2017 by RonNell Andersen Jones and Sonja R. West Vol. 112 Northwestern University Law Review THE FRAGILITY OF THE FREE AMERICAN PRESS RonNell Andersen Jones & Sonja R. West ABSTRACT—President Donald Trump has faced criticism for attacking the press and for abandoning longstanding traditions of accommodating and respecting it. This Essay argues that the national discussion spurred by Trump’s treatment of the press has fallen short of capturing the true seriousness of the situation. Trump’s assault on the custom of press accommodation follows a generation-long collapse of other major press protections. In order to fully understand the critical juncture at which American press freedom now stands, we must expand the discussion beyond talk of a rogue president’s aberrant attacks on the press and consider the increasingly fragile edifice on which the American free press sits. This is because the kind of press we value and need in the United States—one that is free, independent, and democracy-enhancing—does not just occur naturally. Nor is it protected by a single, robust constitutional right. Rather, it is supported by a number of legal and nonlegal pillars, such as the institutional media’s relative financial strength, the goodwill of the public, a mutually dependent relationship with government officials, and the backing of sympathetic judges. Each of these supports has weakened substantially in recent years, leaving the one remaining pillar of tradition and custom to bear more of the weight. Contrary to widespread belief, our concern should not be that Trump might be taking the first step toward crippling the power of the free press, but rather that he might be taking the final step in a process that has long been underway.
