Institute of Applied Metatheory and California Institute for Human Science Forge Transformative Partnership

In a move to bridge the gap between metatheoretical academic research and real-world application, the Institute of Applied Metatheory (IAM) and the Integral Noetic Sciences (INS) department at the California Institute for Human Science (CIHS) are thrilled to announce a strategic partnership. This collaboration aims to harness the strengths of both institutions to foster innovation and address complex social and environmental challenges.

The INS department at CIHS is known for its advanced coursework that delves into the intersections of philosophy of science, consciousness studies, and contemplative traditions. By nurturing scholarly exploration and rigorous research, CIHS has been at the forefront of academic excellence. Complementing this, IAM is dedicated to applying integrative metatheories to evolutionarily-potent real-world contexts, enabling leaders and practitioners to identify high-leverage points for social action and implement transformative initiatives.

This partnership envisions a seamless integration of metatheoretical academic rigor and practical application. PhD students from CIHS will have the unique opportunity to engage directly with IAM’s Applied Metatheory Initiatives, allowing them to apply their theoretical knowledge to pressing societal issues. This hands-on experience will not only enrich their academic journey but also equip them with the tools to drive meaningful change in various social contexts.

The collaboration will unfold in several impactful ways:

• Joint Initiatives: By bringing together CIHS faculty and IAM experts, the partnership will foster interdisciplinary research that pushes the boundaries of current knowledge and explores innovative solutions to complex problems.
• Educational Enrichment: IAM professionals will contribute to the academic environment at CIHS through workshops, seminars, and guest lectures, providing students with diverse perspectives and practical insights that complement their theoretical studies.
• Network Expansion: Both institutions will leverage their extensive networks to create a vibrant community of scholars, practitioners, and thought leaders dedicated to advancing big-picture metatheoretical research and its applications.

At the heart of this partnership is a shared commitment to advancing integrative metatheoretical research and initiatives. By combining CIHS’s academic excellence with IAM’s practical expertise, the collaboration aims to create a pipeline of professional development that extends from graduate education to real-world application. This integrated approach aspires to produce leaders and innovators capable of addressing the multifaceted challenges constituting the metacrisis.

As the partnership evolves, both institutions are excited about the potential to co-create a future where Big Picture academic insights seamlessly inform practical solutions, leading to transformative social impact. This alliance stands as a testament to what might be achieved when metatheory and metapraxis converge with a shared vision for a better world.
