Guy Burneko, Ph.D.
	Guy Burneko, Institute Director, is a creative thinker, intercultural pollinator and writer. He earned his interdisciplinary Ph.D. at Emory University's Institute of the Liberal Arts with emphases in the evolution and history of consciousness, the philosophy of science and in literature. His dissertation "Light Conversation, Exchanges of Life" took its title from the themes of philosophical hermeneutics, symbolic anthropology and Daoism in its inquiry into comparative modes of thinking for a postmodern humanism. His M.A. in English at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks culminated with a thesis on contemporary song lyrics--notably those of the Moody Blues--in the context of visionary world literature and psychotropic experience; and Guy completed his B.A. in English at Fordham University in the Bronx. Foremost among his published interests are: the exploration and articulation of sustaining values and meanings for the extreme-long-term sustainability of ecohumane well-being; the intercultural marriage of holistic and nonreductive traditional, humanistic and scientific understandings; and the practice of post-egoic global polity. Guy has taught or enjoyed fellowships at such recognized institutions as Emory, Syracuse, Stanford, Princeton and Claremont; and he's lived and taught in settings ranging from Dalian, in The People's Republic of China and the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta of Alaska to The Blue Ridge, The Bay Area and The Mohawk Valley of upstate New York. He enjoys extensive reading, cooking, lollygagging and occasional travel. Please contact Dr. Burneko for a complete C.V.; click here for more.
