    DATES	READINGS Student Facilitator will 1)explore RPO theme indicated in this colum, 2) you will select the text readings with input from Instructor and 3) orient it to your own choice of system field project. Note must be an ontological qualitative study. Not 1st, 2nd, or 3rd wave Grounded Theory. Must develop 4th wave GT RPO.	Topic-Content & Participative-Learning process of the Day, Please come to class with your answer typed out, choose several articles/chapters to include & reference in your answer). Instructions: Each class one student will enact the participative learning process in the class and fine-tune the topic content, by posing two Homework Questions, and co-leading the discussion time with me. That student needs to prepare by meeting with the instructor ahead of time, preferably during office hours, the week before the class meets. Each week you will be asked to give Feedback in writing, in Homework, to one peer's answers to the 2 questions. Note: Students are to bring printout(s) of their answers to the class meeting the week following its indication in schedule.
    first class (Wed) Aug 16	READINGS and Original Video: Boje's video on 4th Wave Grounded Theory and Plato's Dialectic 4th Wave Grounded Theory chapter from Boje's new book (to be distributed) and Platos's Twisted Dourble Spiral, Story of Er, and his Socratic Dialectic steps Today's example of Lesson Plan Step 1 HHT and Boal (Columbia Hynosis) Step 2 Boje film on Plato Dialectic Step 3 Interactive experience - Plato Dialectic Conversation interview in 5 steps Step 4 Sabine time (today Boje will do it, so as not to put Sabine on spot) Boje will cover differences between Plato, Hegel, and Marx & Engels dialectic methods Step 5 2 Minutes on pluses and minuses for today	Boje's lesson plan will work out the answers, orally, to these questions, in application to Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) being able to combat modern slavery systems of management in the agriculture industry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeX_0zAOf6Q&feature=youtu.be on both Intro to 4th Wave Grounded Theory and Plato's Dialectic Homework Question Mgt 655 (2 parts): Bring to next class (typed out)   1A: Use Plato Dialectic with a friend to explore their 'concept' definition of system (use the 5 steps in Boje YouTube video) that we practiced in class today? (tape it, and provide some excerpts in typed answer) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeX_0zAOf6Q&feature=youtu.be on both Intro to 4th Wave Grounded Theory and Plato's Dialectic 1B: Draw and do storytelling about and upgraded RPO1 - Plato's double twisted spiral for an organization system you are familiar with and embodied within? (narrate about your drawing; it can be some other way of doing dialectic approach to spiraling systems; see study guide on Plato, for ways knowledge-spiral is not dialectic, is if anything a slave-system, a managerialist way to extract lay knowledge of workers, make it part of organizational information system, and this deskills workers (since now the organizaiton possesses and redistributes knowlege that is no longer the worker's own). Note: Students are to bring printout(s) of their two answers to the next week's class meeting.

    second class Aug 23	PRO2 - Hegel's Dialectics of spirt and human, self and other, and so on, especially negation of negations RPO1 - Hegel's Dialectic Hegel's (1820) Philosophy of Right Hegel,s (1807) Phenomenology of Spirit - G. W. F. Hegel.epub   Phenomenology of Spirit - G. W. F. Hegel.mobi   and PRO3 - Marx's & Engel's Historical Materialism Dialectic Fredrick Engels Dialectics of Nature- find negation of negation Frederick Engels Anti-Duhring	Boje and Sabine's lesson plan combine PRO2 and PRO3 to do a YouTube Homework QUESTIONS 2/3A What is Relationality in Marx and in Hegel What is Procecss in Marx and in Hegel What is Ontology in Marx and in Hegel and 2/3B: How does their RPO apply to the TFW Virus that is rampant tody in Organization Systems? Begin with Karl Marx's (1845) THE GERMAN IDEOLOGY, look at every instance his criticism of Hegel 'system' and the ammendments Marx, makes to it. Marx is critiquing both Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit and the Philosophy of Right. Your challenge is to sort out . Students are to bring printout(s) of their answers to the class meeting. Topic example: How does Marx & Engel's dialectic of historical materialism similar and different from Hegel's dialectic of spirt and self/other? Topic example: Where are we in 2017 in the history of dialectical materialism - 'crisis of capitalism', the current negation of negation (see Anti-Duhring chapter on negation of negation? "Dialectics teaches us that sooner or later, things change into their opposite" - this is the negation of the negation, but each new counter-negation only overcomes the contradictions of prior negation partically. So for me,its a spiral-antenarrative: a downward spiral somes to an end, and is replaced by its negation, an upward spiral, which is then negated, as the contradictions of its upswing have the fodder for its decline into downward spiral. Definition: Dialectical Materialism is a way of understanding reality; whether thoughts, emotions, or the material world. Simply stated, this methodology is the combination of Dialectics and Materialism. The materialist dialectic is the theoretical foundation of Marxism (while being communist is the practiceof Marxism). Definition: Historical materialism is a methodological approach to the study of human societies and their development over time that was first articulated by Karl Marx (1818–1883) as the materialist conception of history.

    3rd class Aug 30th	RPO4 - Follett’s Relational Process Ontology   Focus: Follett studied Hegel in university, then developed the dialectic in readable, accessible writing.	Mabel & Boje lesson plan with guest and some time for Sabine on any of Hegel's books. Mabel see if our guest will do a short 5 minute interview on her method of the Testimonios, and splice with Follett treatment you compose in film with Boje. Homework QUESTIONS 4A and 4B will be submitted to instructor by students in their lesson plan Co-Facilitator: Please focus on our guest, Judith Flores Carmona (Education College) who will talk of Critical Race Theory and the advanced qualitative method of Critical Ethhnography. Read this article:Flores Carmona, Judith. "Cutting out Their Tongues: Mujeres' Testimonios and the Malintzin Researcher." Journal of Latino/Latin American Studies 6, no. 2 (2014): 113-124. "'Critical ethnography’s core purpose is to foster emancipation of community members and constituents involved in the ethnography. Therefore, critical ethnography works against inequitable practices, toward emancipation, and helps us reveal oppressive relations of power' (Villenas & Foley, 2002, p. 196). The ethnography is written in a narrative form. It takes this form based on what is seen, experienced, and how these findings are aligned to specific theoretical frameworks" (Judith Floraes Carmona, pp. 116-117). Carmona, J. F. (2017).

Peirce pragmatism semiotics (Boje, 2014), and connects to Luhmann's systems theory cybernetic

Question: Is negation of negation, a factal or part of a multi-fractal. Link back to how Bhaskar's focus on scalability could be multifractal systems thinking
    13th class Nov 8	RPO12- Savall’s Socioeconomic & Storytelling	Homework QUESTIONS 12A and 12B will be submitted to instructor by students in their lesson plan and produce a YouTube together on Savall Savall is anti-Marxist, preferring the Spanish economist work, which is critical of speculative capitalism, preferring instead a socially responsible productive capitalism, and one which is democratic organization in its system thinking and intervention

In ontology, it would not be relativism. Walter Benjamin's classic essay 'The Storyteller..." uses term 'true storytelling.' In Heidegger, it would be facticity meets historicality. In Bhaskar its those generative mechanisms beneath the veil of surface narrative. And so on, we can look to all the RPOs this term and see different renditions of True Storytelling.
