IR needs Occasional Volunteers! As IR grows, its busy volunteer editors need more hands on deck! We would be grateful to have one or more volunteers who could assist us on an as-needed, occasional basis with the following.
-- With our changeover to open
source bulletin board software for the next online forums.
-- With installing and converting over to mailing
list software. Our mailing list is growing with continuous requests to
be added to it, and we need efficiency!
-- Proofreading articles and/or proofing and copyediting for APA-style compliance

IR Editorial Advisory
Board Members' Happenings
William Torbert will be presenting a Professional Development Workshop on
“Teaching Leadership” and a Symposium entitled “From
Leadership to Leadership Culture” at the Academy of Management in
Philadelphia early August. He will serve as guest-presenter at a Stagen Leadership day in Dallas August 8. And he will

community development toward the “Alchemist” action-logic) in the
UK and the US in October. In May 2008, he retires from Boston
College’s Carroll School of Management after 30 years in the roles of
Graduate Dean, Director of the Organization Transformation PhD program, and
Professor.
Basarab Nicolescue announces that “the Romanian Minister
of Education signed the decree allowing me to lead PhD thesis in philosophy
(with the implicit mention of transdisciplinarity) at the Babes-Bolyai University from Cluj. The
PhD thesis could be written in English, French, German, Hungarian or Romanian.
The physical presence for doctoral lectures at Cluj
is not needed. For foreigners, a limited number of grants are available. One
can find useful information on the Internet site of the UBB University http://www.ubbcluj.ro/ I would be very grateful to each of you if
you can identify interesting persons who are interested to perform a PhD thesis
under my supervision. In this case, I beg you to give them my E-mail address
for a first contact. I could accept to lead around 10 candidates. The first
people inscribed [registered] at the UBB University have, of course,
priority.”

Bonnitta Roy
Bonnie recently had her piece on Living With Horses: The Alderlore Experiment published in the Northeastern United States magazine The Country and Abroad. This piece describes the work she is doing on exploring the depths possible in human horse interactions. In addition, her wide range of interests continues to explore diverse fields such as Ecology, Buddhist Empiricism, Process and Post-postmoderrnism, and Cosmology. Her summer reading list includes:
Deep Economy by
Bill McKibbin
Blessed Unrest by Paul Hawken
Choosing Reality by B. Alan Wallace
The Taboo of Subjectivity by B. Alan
Wallace
Thinking Beyond Patterns by Eugene Gendlin
Process and Difference by Catherine
Keller, Anne Daniell
The Cosmic Landscape by Leonard
Susskind
Tossing around all the ideas from this range of topics makes for a
crisp summer salad. Bon Appetit!
