We debut our Creative Inquiry conversations with a bang, starting with the man who coined the term, Dr. Alfonso Montuori. We discuss his influences, his developing of the ideas that led to the creation of the Transformative Inquiry programs at California Institute of Integral Studies, the detrimental effects of reproductive education, the creative process, complexity, jazz and improvisation, and more. Alfonso Montuori is an educator, consultant, and musician. His transdisciplinary research has focused on the application of creativity research and complexity to better understand how to live in a complex, pluralistic, uncertain world. He has focused particularly in the areas of creativity, leadership, future studies, cultural pluralism, transdisciplinarity, and Creative Inquiry. Alfonso’s books include Evolutionary Competence; From Power to Partnership (co-authored with Isabella Conti), Creators on Creating (co-edited w/Barron &amp; Barron), and Social Creativity, vols. 1-2 (co-edited w/R. Purser). In 2006 he became a San Francisco Library Laureate. He is core faculty in the Transformative Leadership and Transformative Studies programs at CIIS. You can find Alfonso on Twitter at @amontuori, and the Creative Inquiry podcast at @CreativeInqPod. Please subscribe on Soundcloud, iTunes, or Stitcher if you enjoy the podcast!
