David M. Boje is co-founder of TRUE STORYTELLING SYSTEM. He is an international scholar confronting and deconstructing the 'regimes of truth' with his own storytelling paradigm. Research.com, a prominent academic platform for scientists, has just published the 2022 Edition of its Ranking of Top 1000 Scientists in the area of Social Sciences and Humanities. David Boje ranked #1286 in United States as well as #2505 in the world ranking.David has contributed 27 books and over 150 journal articles to studying one problem for 45 years: He introduced the now widely-used concept of antenarrative, a prospective sensemaking (foresight) and intuitive-world (the beyond of spirit) in the field of storytelling systems research. When his wife, Grace Ann Rosile, was working on her ‘Tribal Wisdom’ book, David said, “You know (indigenous) Native American storytelling is different from the way Europeans (Euro-Westerners) tell stories. The Indigenous ways are more like what we call ‘living story’ way of Being-in-the-World. From there, David and Grace Ann built more work/research around indigenous storytelling and ethics, and that lead to current work on ensemble leadership, and ensemble storytelling. His most recent books: True Storytelling (2021, Routledge, Francis & Taylor) with Jens Larsen and Lena Bruun, Doing Conversational Storytelling Interviewing for Your Dissertation (2020, Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd.) with Grace Ann Rosile David and Grace Ann’s work on ‘embodied restorying’ and their work with veterans and others to get unstuck from problem-saturated narratives of past trauma, and develop antenarrative prospective sensemaking of futures of well-being.

David earned his Ph.D. from University of Illinois in 1978, and became assistant professor at Anderson School of Management, UCLA, then restarted his career as a walk-on temp,  and did become full professor at Loyola Marymount University, earning six teacher of the year awards. Moved to New Mexico in 1996, and become winner of the New Mexico State University (NMSU) Distinguished Career Award, and currently holds its highest rank as Regents Professor. He retired in 2018 from New Mexico State University, earning Regents Professor, and Distinguished Scholar Professorship, and is currently Professor Emeritus. He immediately become professor at Aalborg University, Denmark. He also teaches qualitative storytelling science methods at Cabrini University in Philadelphia (with Grace Ann). David is frequent teacher in seminars in universities around the world. He is currently editor-in-chief of the Business Storytelling Encyclopedia, bringing a needed paradigm change in 16 volumes focused on topics such as race, gender, ethics, and indigenous studies. Boje gives invited keynote presentations on storytelling science, water crises, racial capitalism, and the global climate crisis, all around the world. He is a Director European School of Governance (EUSG) where Louis Klein is dean. He is member of the editorial board of the The Systemic Change Journal that is an ongoing conversation about ways of Governing the Anthropocene, and helping to set up a Sustainability Storytelling Lab.  David was Editor of the Journal of Organizational Change Management for 14 years, and founder and editor of Tamara: Journal for Critical Organization Inquiry for 10 years. He was Co-Founder and Board Chair for the entire 25-year life span of the Standing Conference for Management and Organization Inquiry. He was past chair of the Academy of Management Research Methods division. He also was awarded an honorary doctorate from Aalborg University in Denmark, where he is considered the “godfather” of their Material Storytelling Lab. The Military Family storytelling lab work continues in New Mexico to develop embodied restorying sandtray and equine assisted restorying as evidence-based protocol.  See One-Page vita; or  See printable complete vita

He created the field of “antenarrative” research, which analyzes all that is antecedent to creating western narratives and indigenous living stories. The 'true storytelling' founders (Grace Ann, Jens, Lena,  & David) do Zoom sessions are being offered to global participants on 'true storytelling ethics, ensemble leadership, sustainability, and their newest seminar theme (with Oscar Edwards(co-hosting): "Intercultural Conversations: A Community-Centered Storytelling Experience to Restory Narratives on Racism."  Their hope is for a more cooperative, equitable, and just society with improved quality of life outcomes for all (https://true-storytelling.com; https:truestorytelling.org; & https:truestorytelling.blog). David and Grace Ann convene the annual 'Quantum Storytelling Conference' each December in Las Cruces New Mexico with Emeritus Professor Grace Ann Rosile (https://davidboje.com/quantum). It will be a virtual Zoom event in 2020. Some Interviews with David are on Playlist:

David Boje met Grace Ann Rosile in 1995, and immediately become vegetarian. Grace Ann took him to meet the Jain monk, Gurudev Chitrabhanu, who said, ‘David you are Arihunt, that is your Jain name. David listened, taking notes on every word. He, wrote Arihunt means ‘conqueror of inner enemies.’ After meditating on his inner enemies every morning for ten years, he returned exhausted to the monk and asked for a new name. Gurudev, informed David, you misheard me, ‘Arihunt means you have no enemies, everyone is your friend.’ That began a very different spiritual journey. In December 2020, after a Vision Quest on the Organ mountains, Mike ThreeBears gifted David a new name, ‘Surrenders to Spirit.’ David actively listened, and wrote down, ‘Sacrifices to Spirit.’ These stories of mis-hearing, illustrate the difference between deep listening and actually hearing spirit. In 2010, David became interested in Shamanic Drumming, looking for a way to help extend the life of Grace Ann’s Arabian stallion, Nahdion, her friend for over 30 years. David brought a rock from the Land of Enchantment, and flew to California to learn basics of ‘rock divination’ and the practices of ‘core shamanism’ to help Nahdion. Returning, he drummed while descending to commune with several Lower World spirits, so Nahdion would be able to drink, eat, and poop. When it was time for Nahdion to pass on, David drummed, journeying to Upper World spiritual teachers, during Nahdion’s transition to Lower World. David leads a shamanic drumming group that meets each week on Zoom, sharing stories, doing divination, and answering requests for healing people, animals, and practicing nature-intuitive ways of knowing (https://davidboje.com/shamanic).

Announcing QUANTUM STORYTELLING ANNUAL REVIEW
Quantum Storytelling ANnual Review 2019  print version QSAR 2020

Order Kindle Edition or Paperback versions



Quantum Storytelling Annual Review addresses entanglement of storytelling with whole systems at quantum scale of particle/wave and at the macro scale of capitalism, global warming, and socioeconomics. Quantum Storytelling means we are all connected at nanoparticle and energy wave level. All things, all creatures are composed of quantum energy. Your cellphone, your computer, the GPS in your car, the MRI machine are all marvels of quantum physics. We take all things are interconnected as the basis of a whole systems storytelling approach to 'storytelling science.'

A whole systems storytelling approach focuses on sociomaterial from the quantum to the macro by looking for patterns, such as relations between economic classes, hegemony of all kinds. We are particularly interested in holistic approaches to the relation of narrative-counternarrative to grounding in the existential living stories of all species. We like the notion that all things tell a story, that sociomaterial configurations are agential, and that instead of privileging human storytelling, there is what Donna Haraway calls 'multispecies storytelling.'

We are particularly interested in Mikhail Bakhtin's notion of 'moral answerability' -- to intervene in a situation instead of being a bystander. We are all about ethics of storytelling. For Bakhtin, stories are polyphonic, and narratives are 'always' monological. This leads to the single-voiced, single-logic narratives (counternarratives) attempting to exclude the multi-voiced, multi-logical 'living stores' that are grounded in nature, in the bioshere, in the quantum interconnectedness.

Antenarratives are the stuff that pre-constitutes narrative-counternarrative and living stories. This gives one the three facets of whole systems storytelling (antenarratives, narrative-counternarrative, and living stories) so that we can begin to research the dominant patterns and dynamics of whole system storytelling using what we call 'storytelling science.'

We have been developing 'storytelling science' as a way to do what Charles Sanders Peirce called 'self-correcting' and Karl Popper called 'trial and error' scientific method. This is applied in the work of Henri Savall's 'socioeconomic approach to management' which intervenes by bringing about socially responsible (and ecologically accountable) capitalism. Recent work tries storytelling to socioeconomics. y taking a Whole Systems approach to Storytelling, I find that a self-Validating Closed Loop has formed in Business Storytelling. The problem is a lack of 'refutation' in business storytelling research methods. For example, Maude Barlow, Vadana Shiva, and David Boje have been making claims about Monsanto, Coca Cola, and PepsiCo concerning terminator seeds, and over-pumping groundwater, especially in India.

Monsanto claims its Bt cotton seeds that increase crop yield by controlling for pests. Shiva narrative claims it is responsible for farmer suicides in India. Monsanto's counternarrative is that Bt seeds work as advertised, and that the blame for suicides is government that in 2008 began requiring collateral for loans to small farmers, and since their holdings too small, a loan shark niche opened to fill the gap. Second reason is inefficient traditional farming practices.

Coca Cola and PepsiCo claim they are helping local farmers in India by putting back more water into the aquifers than is pumped out by the bottlers of plastic water bottles and plastic/glass soda bottles. The counternarrative by Shiva, Barlow and by myself, that the well (straws) for Coca Cola and PepsiCo run deep, and much deeper than the farmers can support, thus putting on stress in not being able to pay to loan sharks, and resulting in farmer suicides. In my deconstruction of the Coca Cola and PepsiCo corporations ' narratives, we find they do not actually put water back into the ground, but rather do training of farmers in drip system agriculture, and other greenwashing.

I solve problems in how your organization is storytelling its strategy, humanity, sustainability, and ethics. To ask your STORYTELLING questions I have a helpful tool: https://camo391.wufoo.com/forms/q1aia4w808kux22/ or, contact me at davidboje@gmail.com

Storytelling is an art. We are storytelling animals. Storytelling is my focus. Storytelling is what I do in teaching, writing, consulting, and research for 35 years. See Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcsPh-5QbdE I love to help people and organizations find this storytelling path. It is easy to become a character in someone else's master narrative. It is more helpful to find your own living story path. Its a matter of finding you voice. Join us at our annual conference http://davidboje.com/quantum We have a mix of storytelling consulting practitioners, researchers, and clients who celebrate finding their own living story. I work with my colleagues in Denmark in two venues. One is the Material Storytelling Lab in Aalborg University where I am said to be the godfather to the lab. Material Storytelling (Anete Strand's pioneering dissertation and lab direction), is based on Karen Barad's work (and a bit of my own), to look at the intra-activity of 'social' with the 'material'. It is part of a huge movement called 'sociomateriality.' We use the term 'quantum storytelling' to get at how there is no separation between social and material. We are both/and. In Denmark I work with TRUE STORYTELLING, a project by Jens Larson, and Lena Larson, to do storytelling bootcamps. True Storytelling is possible in consciousness raising boot camps of self-transformation and critical reflexive inquiry into our own habituated thoughts and actions within micro-physics systems, and embedded macro-political systems of power. It is possible to recover an agency of resistance to normalization under the detailed disciplinary technologies of the institutions we work in.

I hope to see you at our events. To get on our mailing list, click here. David

Academy of Managment - Distinguished Speaker, Chicago, August 13 2018, Consultation Division: “How Consultation Can Save Humanity from the Sixth Extinction Event,”  Boje inspires a moral reflexivity that facilitates intelligent public action in the face of the planetary boundaries for life on Earth. By developing counter accounts, hidden costs, and qualimetric consultation, we can encourage transformative change for a 'true storytelling' of corporate social and planetary responsibility. 

The name "David Boje" was mentioned in 1,833 PDFs recently uploaded to Academia (May 4, 2018).

Boje has always applied his theoretical insights to practical activism in local communities. In the 1990’s he worked with the Los Angeles Nickerson Gardens public housing community so that community members could have a greater role in the management and daily operations of the community. He helped to initiate the first-ever partnership between the Gardens, the Peace Corps, and Loyola Marymount University. After moving to his current home at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, NM, he established a university-wide minor in Sustainability. He was named a “Mover and Shaker” by the local newspaper for his work with local arts groups. Now he wants to change wealth inequality.

More recently, Boje has worked with homeless veterans, helping them to establish a “Veterans Theatre” where the homeless themselves are the actors on stage performing crowd-pleasing and heartbreaking yet humorous stories. Boje helped them create the scripts from a patchwork of the homeless actors own real-life experiences. He also works with postdeployment veterans using his “Restorying” methods, sand tray props, and equine-assisted restorying techniques. His latest work is with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), agricultural workers who have experienced abuses to the point of enslavement. He is a great fan of their highly-effective “Worker-Driven Social Responsibility” (WSR) and what he and Rosile call their egalitarian “Ensemble Leadership” approach to organizing. In 2017, Boje marched with the CIW in pouring rain to protest Wendy’s Corporation continuing refusal to sign a fair-labor-practices contract.

In his spare time, Boje rides his horse Lucky Boy with wife and colleague Grace Ann Rosile, and creates art in his blacksmith shop with hot forging of iron as well as cold hammered copper wire and metal. Rosile and Boje’s family includes a cat, 2 dogs, and 4 horses.

My new project: ONTOLOGICAL RESEARCH METHODS: As visiting scholar I travel worldwide doing faculty and doctoral student seminars in storytelling research methods known as 'relational process ontologies'. There are multiple ontologies that form ontologic-assemblages, particular combinations that co-constitute at least eight streams of 4th Wave Grounded Theory. see book due to publisher March 2018 http://davidboje.com/655/ORM_Storytelling_in_Action_BOOK/index.htm and annual Storytelling Methods Conference in Las Cruces http://davidboje.com/quantum

My three areas of community engagement:

  1. SMALL BUSINESS CONSULTING. Mgt448/Mgt548 is one of two universities in US with MOA between NMSU and Lyon III University and ISEOR Institute to teach socioeconomic consulting. In past 19 years approximately 350 student teams have engaged in service learning with the community by providing free consulting services to business and non-profit organizations. This includes reversing downward spiral into strategic changes to unleash human potential in lowering costs and enhancing revenues by doing project implementation and evaluation. http://davidboje.com/448
  2. VETERANS THEATER: Students are engaged with Veterans Theater project, doing service learning, working with veteran and homeless actors putting on original plays about veterans and homelessness issues. Along with GoFundMe the plays raise donation money needed to develop veteran tiny home ecological village on campus, another for homeless veterans and homeless in city of Las Cruces, and an equine-assisted psychotherapy and restorying treatment center for veterans and families, post-deployment family-reintegration.  I am part of community veterans organizations (Veterans Advisory Board to Mayor of Las Cruces; American Legion Post 10, Vietnam Veterans of America #431; American Legion Riders) to keep project opportunities happening. It produces interdisciplinary research and a faculty and student team developing research grants to NSF & DOD to bring our 'embodied restorying process' of working with veterans and family members for post-deployment reintegration to resolve being stuck in past traumas (PTSD, TBI, and/or military sexual trauma) in order to create new story of family system future.
