46. David Boje (Management Department) presented is keynote address to the Cross-Cultural Conference in Warwick, UK on how storytelling can help student veterans at universities, as well as help homeless veterans. The basis is two research studies, with approved NMSU IRBs. First, to study the efficacy of two interventions that are said to help student veterans and their families: (1) use of equine skill training in groundwork that has veterans use the horse arena as a ‘giant sandtray’ and use horses and other objects to relate their deployment and return to family and community. It is funded by an Interdisciplinary Research Grant award form the VP of Research Office. The rationale: There is a growing interest in equine sessions supporting the psychological health and developing positive family relationships of service members, veterans and their families worldwide. The second condition, is to use two foot by 18 inch sandtray, where veterans and their family members select small toy soldiers, toy figures to represent family members, and deployment, and return-from-deployment situations. There is also pre- and post-test surveys (& interviews), with the two treatment conditions, and with a control condition.
    The second study, also with approved IRB, is to work with formerly homeless veterans at Community of Hope in Las Cruces. Boje along with Dr. Liz EnglandKennedy conducted weekly ‘Storytelling Healing’ sessions during the entire Fall semester of 2014. Boje and EnglandKennedy are developing a book on the homeless veterans embodied restorying. Mgt 655 management doctoral students participated, become IRB certified, learned to conduct interview and qualitative analyses, and submitted candidate chapters for the book project.

47. David Boje (Management Department) on Nov 3rd will present a keynote address titled: 'The Future of Storytelling: How Equine-Assisted Growth & Learning Events (EAGLE) and Embodied Restorying Processes (ERP) are Counter-Narrative’ to the the ‘Counter-Narrative Conference’ being held at Syddansk University (Denmark). Boje will be presenting examples for studies of veterans and their family members developing an ‘authentic Self’ by externalizing the social self prescribed by military and social narratives and counter-narratives. The research project includes both Embodied Restorying Processes (ERP) and Equine-Assisted Growth and Learning Events (EAGLE). The key issue is how these interventions are ‘agential’ and ‘empowering’ for stress from combat. According to noted narrative scholar Dennis Polkinghorne, ‘restorying’ is a language game (text-based social construction) and is not at all agential. In the ‘new’ materialism approaches to storytelling, such as that of Anete Strand (2011, 2012), having subjects work with material objects in a sandtray can be ‘agential’ because there is a significant interaction effect between the ‘materialisms’ and the ‘discourse.’ In EAGLE, the arena itself is a huge kind of sandtray, and the horses, people, and the material objects (cones, rails, etc.) interact to from agential relations. Strand combines Boje’s work on storytelling with Barad’s agential-realism, and multi-modality (talk, acting, material objects). Boje’s work is having the veterans and family members critique institutional 'grand narratives' and counter-narratives by developing Little Wow Moments (LWM) of exception to those narratives (& counter-narratives), and also doing an important ontological move: creating ‘moments of vision’ of new possible futures that are not tied to the past, and developing action steps to bring one of them about.
