Article accepted by The Humanistic Psychologist

May 20, 2009 by seansaiter

My god. Well, after waiting over two years, my article Universal Integralism: Ontology, Epistemology, and Methodology in a Social Change Context: A Critical Analysis of Wilber’s Integral Method has been accepted for publication due out this summer.

Yes, this was a very long wait but seeing how I’m a young scholar who is still finishing his doctoral work as well as this being my first peer-reviewed publication, I decided to commit to however long it would take to get it published in this journal, one of the main outlets for my field.

I cannot say that I will be so patient next time (I mean, to wait two years is a bit extreme considering the number of good journals out there) but I am glad it finally worked out considering the amount of work that I put into getting into print. Now, I can only hope that the article is worth something to those who read it.

Hi, Sean:

I came across your blog in a Google search of Wilber’s IMP, and saw your post. As a social change educator-organizer and author from an integral liberation-transformative perspective (in some measure influenced by Wilber), I am curious and interested in your article. Has it been published already? Or is it otherwise available? I’d look to hear what you have to say on the subject.

Peace to you,

  Hi Raul,
  
  As of this date, the article has not been published but it is “in press.” Expect to see it in the issue #3 (#2 was just published), so that would be sometime late Summer or early Fall, I believe.
  
  It’s a pleasure to meet you!

Congratulations Sean; it feels wonderful to be published doesn’t it?

I had an article that it took me several years to publish, but the feedback I got was very helpful from the multiple peer review processes it underwent.

Good luck with your dissertation and presentations. Even as a PhD I understand the funding issues all too well!
