Ryan holds the rank of Assistant Professor in the Global Programs. Ryan graduated from the Residential Program and quickly became an integral part of the Global Programs as the Dissertation, Thesis, and Academic Coordinator from 2004-2008. During this time Ryan also served as Adjunct Faculty in both the Residential and Global Programs for a variety of courses. Prior research includes romantic acts and the priming effect in research, integration of exceptional experiences through the use of group spiritual guidance and group expressive arts, transformation of students in a coaching training program, and assessing both diversity within higher education and institutional change due to research on diversity within higher education (recently presented at the National Conference on Race and Ethnicity in Higher Education). Ryan is currently focusing on diversity in transpersonal psychology, transformation, the integration of exceptional experiences, working with research methods that honor the expressive arts and social action, and the use of online technology in transpersonal higher education.
Ryan is also co-founder of a research consulting practice called Multiple Angles for Creative Solutions. This practice arose from awareness of the need for support during the ‘inner dissertation process' among Ph.D. students. Multiple Angles has expanded into facilitation of online research (including online data collection and online advertisement of research) and is being used by students and faculty from ITP as well as companies such as Yahoo and Stanford University. Multiple Angles may be accessed, for further information, at www.multipleangles.com.
