Call for Presentations

Since the 2006 Retreat will be hands-on, we will limit formal presentations to a single session of only 3–4. Submit an abstract of your presentation that illustrates and expands investigations of Integral Sustainable Design Education. Proposals are requested for, but not limited to, the following themes on Integral Sustainable Design:
   

      ¨  Integral Theory Applied:  Map or critique your own teaching or research
             using Integral Theory's (quadrant) approach.  Use specific projects or
             assignments.

      ¨  Integral Quadrants:  Explore the territory and relationships between two or
             among more quadrant perspectives on sustainable design
             (i.e., Science/ Mechanics, UR, and Culture/ Meaning, LL).

      ¨  Integral Perspectives:  Propose an activity that demonstrates multiple
             perspectives of the same object of attention (i.e., Self/Culture/Nature or
             Performance/Systemic Fit/Cultural Meaning/Human Experience).

      ¨  Integral Experience:  Devise an activity where participants directly
             experience different levels or stages of awareness (i.e., body/mind/spirit
             or conventional/modern/post-modern).  

      ¨  Integral Case Study:  Develop an "integral case study" of a well-known
             precedent or expand a Vital Signs Case Study to include more integral
             perspectives.

      ¨  Integral Other:  Pose other perspectives, approaches, or questions related
             to integral sustainable design.
