Barnett is currently facing serious health issues. A student of his at Fielding has put together a website to keep those of us interested in his journey updated: http://www.barnettpearce.net/
Barnett is both a scholar and practitioner. In University settings, he is best known for his part in developing the theory of the Coordinated Management of Meaning” or CMM. He has written seven books and over one hundred articles and chapters. He was a Senior Visiting Fellow at Linacre College, Oxford University, in 1989, and a Fulbright Fellow in Argentina in 1997. Before retiring from Fielding Graduate University in 2008, he was a member of the faculty at the University of North Dakota, University of Kentucky, University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and Loyola University Chicago, serving as Chair of the Departments of Communication at Massachusetts and Loyola. He has a Ph.D. from Ohio University.
As a practitioner, he works as consultant, coach, facilitator and trainer. He puts his theory (CMM) into practice, following the maxim that if we get the pattern of communication right, the best possible things will happen. He strives to create the preconditions for dialogic communication, working in city and local communities, business and nonprofit organizations, and educational institutions. His work has taken him to North and South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa.
