System Innovation Disruptor Diary: A Holistic Approach to Disrupting with Love and Human Caring

Sitzman, Kathleen: - Dr. Kathleen Sitzman holds a Ph.D. in nursing education and conducts research related to conveying and sustaining caring in online classrooms. In 2015, she co-authored a book and accompanying Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) entitled "Caring Science, Mindful Practice: Implementing Jean Watson's Human Caring Theory." This MOOC is offered twice a year, free of charge and open to anyone, and remains in high demand. Learners come from all over the world and are from healthcare as well as a wide array of other disciplines. Because learners consistently express interest in additional learning opportunities related to caring science, she co-authored "Watson's Caring in the Digital World." Her passion is to help envision caring-loving possibilities for self and others through the study of caring science principles coupled with the use of simple, mindful micro-practices at work and beyond.
