Hey, Clark – I was able to grab it here:
http://appreciativeinquiry.case.edu/research/bibPublishedDetail.cfm?coid=11661

I signed up for the SSRN as well. The abstract is available by adding it to your briefcase but the publication is not.

I got a pointer from someone in email to brainwashing(!), and in twitter to the necessity of movement, a lot to think on!

I commented on Howard’s blog that I like the notion that we need to sing together more (was led to that thought yesterday from the twitter stream), and I added that we don’t do enough ‘signification’ (attaching meaning to transitions), e.g. high school graduation typically isn’t appropriate to it’s role. I recommend you read his blog post (from comment 2).

Loretta, I look forward to reading your paper (how do I get it? The link only points to the abstract), and to finding out more about Mezirow and Cooperrider, and would welcome exploring this further.

Due to the late hour in NY and the technical glitches in CA, I left the Irregulars session the other evening before you got into the good stuff. Jay tells me there is no recording so I’m very pleased to see your comments here. As for transformative experiences, Mezirow and Cooperrider have been my muses on this. It is possible in my view to orchestrate them. Please see my article with Susan Meyer and Steve Fitzgerald at http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1137242. It was a Best Paper and published with the Academy of Management Proceedings in 2007.Would love to explore this with you.

We can talk until we are blue in the face, but that may do more harm than good, creating new polarities; what we need to do instead is to march or dance or sing, as in the great civil rights demonstrations of the sixties that forged new convictions and new unity". I think these forms of practice and social engagement can come in many different forms and can be short lived or last for centuries, but they all must exist and tap into an ecology of ideas and actions that are at a scale that is much larger than any single individual or any single designed event.
