| Jonathan Reams, Editor-in-Chief |

Ph.D. In addition to my duties as Editor-in Chief
of Integral Review I am an associate professor in the
Department of Education at the Norwegian University of Science and
Technology. I teach organizational counseling, coaching and leadership,
and am pursuing research in the areas of leadership, dialogue and
counseling.
My background began in agriculture, eventually
turned to trucking, and has more recently focused on consulting. Between
farming and consulting, I returned to university after a twelve year
break, while also raising a family, running a trucking business, and
building a log house. I’ve also been involved in various volunteer
community activities in the fields of education, economic development
and civic leadership. A passion for understanding human nature has
guided much of my experience, and eventually led to a doctorate in
Leadership Studies, with my dissertation on The Consciousness of
Transpersonal Leadership.
My current work has focused on developing
leadership capacities for a wide range of clients. This has included
developing and delivering curriculum, consulting, coaching,
facilitation, research, writing, and teaching. In addition to this work,
I have presented at a number of international conferences on topics
ranging from consciousness and identity to transformative learning, to
spirituality on campus.
My work with Integral Review has been a
highly rewarding venue for engaging in inquiry about a wide range of
perceptions on the human condition and how consciousness shapes it. My
hope is that the journal can serve to foster increasingly coherent
dialogue in this area.

Ph.D. My
history includes many years as a writer, accountant, spiritual director in retreat and
client work, designer and convener of public meetings, forums, and
transformative curricula and other processes for diverse settings, and action and
theoretical researcher. I have presented papers on integral public
processes for complex policy and systemic issues, developmental approaches to
democratization, developmental behavioral analyses of political economies of
corruption, and the fractal nature of developmental stage change at various
scientific conferences.
In
addition to roles in IR, I serve on several other journals' editorial boards,
and serve in leadership roles in the Society for Chaos Theory in
Psychology & Life Sciences and the
Society for Research in Adult Development. Current, I advise thesis students and
teach part time in Antioch University Midwest's graduate programs in Conflict
Analysis and Engagement and in Professional and Liberal Studies.
I contributed as one of the associate authors in Bill Torbert & Associates Action Inquiry: The Secret of Timely and Transforming
Leadership (2004, Berrett-Koehler), and co-edited a special
triple issue of World Futures: The Journal of General Evolution on
postformal thought and hierarchical complexity (2008, forthcoming).
As the founder and president of Integral Review's publisher,
ARINA, Inc., I am excited at
the potentials for IR and the roles it can play in
supporting ARINA's mission and fostering integral approaches in
transdisciplinary discourse.

Jennifer M. Gidley |

Ph.D.
I have a
background in psychology, education and futures studies and work as a Research
Fellow in the Global Cities Research Institute, RMIT University, Melbourne. In
2009, I was elected President of the World Futures Studies Federation (WFSF).
http://www.wfsf.org/
My
introduction to integral thinking (1970s) was through the philosophical and
educational work of Rudolf Steiner. I founded and pioneered a Steiner school in
rural Australia in the 1980s. My integral interest broadened such that my PhD on
evolution of consciousness involved an “integration of integral views”
(including Steiner, Jean Gebser, Ken Wilber and others).
Based in
Melbourne, I work globally, creating networks—both conceptual and human—between
integral studies, futures studies and other transversal fields. In addition to
my role at Integral Review, I serve on the editorial boards of several
other peer-reviewed journals (Futures: The journal of policy, planning and
futures studies; Integral Theory and Practice; Policy Futures in Education;
Journal of Futures Studies). I also serve on the advisory boards of
Integral Institute Australia; and Institute for Integral Studies (IFIS),
Europe.
My
publications in educational futures, integral studies, evolution of
consciousness and global socio-cultural change include two edited books, a
monograph and dozens of academic articles. Most of my more recent publications
can be downloaded through the RMIT Research Repository.

Thomas Jordan |
 |
Ph.D. and associate professor. I am a trainer, consultant,
researcher and in the fields of conflict resolution, communication, adult
development and organizational development. I divide my time between the
Department of Work Science at the Göteborg University, Sweden, and consulting
and process facilitation in such areas as conflict management, coaching,
research design and organizational development. I have carried out a number of
research projects based on adult development theory on meaning-making in defense
and security policies and workplace conflicts/collaboration cultures. I offer
workshops and seminars on conflict management, adult development psychology and visionlogic for organizational consultants, leaders and various types of
professionals. I share my writing and research at
www.perspectus.se/tjordan.
I am involved with ARINA because it is
a platform that makes
valuable knowledge and skills available to people who need to develop their
competence for working effectively with social change. ARINA strives to
introduce wisdom into political and social processes at various scales, by skill
development in the fields of systemic complexity, self-awareness, meta-paradigmatical
awareness and holocentric values.

Ed.D. I am currently a consultant and research scientist
in the areas of Cognitive Tools, Educational Software, and Knowledge
Engineering. Most of my professional life has been spent doing research that
incorporates cognitive science and educational theory into advanced technology
educational software. I have degrees in physics, computer science, and
educational technology. Recently I find myself sliding increasingly into
applied philosophy, specifically in epistemology and ethics, and am interested
in the relationship between how mind/thought works and people's ethical/moral
capacities. The projects I am most excited about are my writings on "epistemic
indeterminacy" and design ideas for software that supports the reflective and
dialectical thinking skills involved in ethical/moral interactions. I am
fascinated by manifestations of collective intelligence in my own life,
including experiences with Bohm Dialog and consensus-based decision making. I
occasionally lead workshops in conflict resolution and conscious communication
skills.
In these interests I have drawn much inspiration
from integral theories, which provide much needed conceptual frameworks for
counteracting debilitating forms of dissociation (between people, between
aspects of one's self, between fields of knowledge, etc.) that impede the
evolution of human potential. To my role as an Integral Review editor I bring a
curiosity to explore how integral theories and methodological pluralism can be
applied to the processes of dialog and knowledge building that we use within the
integral theory community. For more about me, including my dabblings in Contact
Improvisation, Action Theater, and Ultimate Frisbee, see

After graduating
from Colby College with a BA in both Biology and Philosophy, I worked under a
National Science Foundation Grant first at Princeton University, and then as a
PhD candidate at UC Berkeley in neurophysics; after which I again turned to
philosophy as a graduate student at University of San Francisco. My professional
career is in Landscape Design and Construction. In the non-profit sector, I have
worked as a core group leader for a Community Sponsored Agriculture Biodynamic
Farm, and participated as the 2005 President and 2003-2006 Director of the
National Qigong Association, for whom I served on several standing committees,
and also developed the NQA's member publication "The Journal of Qigong in
America." I am a member of EAGALA (Equine Assisted Growth and Learning
Association) and am Founder/President of EAGLE Foundations, Inc, a
not-for-profit organization whose mission is to create environments that foster
the horse-human encounter to facilitate adult learning and awareness. I am a
Natural Horsemanship trainer, and compete in 100-mile endurance races as a

Ph.D. After receiving my PhD at Berkeley in political
science, doing my dissertation as a Fulbright Scholar in India, I studied
humanistic psychology at Sonoma State University. I practiced as an organization
development consultant for 22 years with government agencies, non-profit
organizations and various industries, including health care, computer
technology, utilities, manufacturing and services. Since 1997 I have focused on
executive coaching and have trained executives as well aspiring business coaches
in coaching skills. I coach CEOs and CxOs in a variety of industries, as well as
business owners and independent professionals.
My major interest these days is in integral leadership
development. The work I do with executives and teams, as well as my writing and
publishing, is focused on this area where theory and practice merge. I believe
that we need to shift our paradigm of leadership and that an integral lens
offers a powerful approach for doing this. We can develop individual leaders—and
that is important—and we must develop leadership as a dynamic process in all of
our institutions if we are to meet the challenges in the world of today and
tomorrow.
My involvement with ARINA is an opportunity to
work with others in bringing transdisciplinary perspectives to the study and
development of integral leadership theory and leadership development in various
types of organizations, communities and cultures.

B.A. (Honors), Fine Art. Being unsure
exactly when I became aware of the Integral Paradigm, I do know I became aware
of Integral Review a couple years ago. I was immediately struck by the
beauty of the openness this connection generated, and am happy to have it extend
into my current association in this role on the Editorial Board.
I trained under the visionary artist Leonard McComb,
D.Phil., R.A. (Keeper of Pictures) at Oxford and London and studied as a pupil
of Mnr. A.M. de Lange, M.Sc., Goldfields, Pretoria, RSA - the discoverer of the
Seven Essentialities of Creativity.
In 2001 I became involved
in the Learning Organizations online community Learning-orgTM.
Its founder, Richard Karash, (also a Founding member
of the Society for Organizational Learning), asked to see what a
then-unpublished interview between Otto Scharmer and Francisco Varela would
generate or inspire in me. The images I then created as well as other artwork
that followed became part of the
http://www.dialogonleadership.org/ project. I later worked on a project with
a global team of scholars in Educational Insights, a journal of the
University of British Columbia, guest edited by Warren Linds and Johnna Haskell
in 2004.
My hope is to add some of the capacity that an artist’s eye
can offer in widening the scope of perspective available on the Editorial Board,
as well as bringing some of the occasional thoughts, insights and perspectives
of the artistic sensibility. If I have an initial aim for my involvement in this
community it is invoked by Fuseli’s observations of his friend Will’m Blake a
long time ago that, ‘the whole of his aim is to produce singular shapes & odd
combinations.’ Island Dwelling Satyrs, Iron Spring Swords, Indian Dogs, Phaselis
Fire, Falconry, Purple Lake, One horned Asses, and Wool bearing Trees.
