On the Author
 
Elise Boulding
Dr. Elise Boulding (1920-2010) was a sociologist, pacifist, feminist and scholar who wrote extensively about conflict resolution in both personal and global relations. She was born in 1920 in Oslo, Norway and moved to the United States of America with her family at age three. In 1941, Elise Biorn-Hansen married the economist, Kenneth Boulding. Together, they created a family that spanned four generations with five children, sixteen grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. Despite the extensive responsibilities that Elise Boulding had as a wife, a mother, and a grandmother, she still managed to make time for extensive academic study and peace work. Elise Boulding is noted for her active role in many peace and research oriented groups. She was influential in the work of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF), the International Peace Research Association (IPRA), and the Consortium on Peace Research Education and Development (COPRED—now Peace and Justice Studies Association), to name a few of the many organizations she provided leadership to. Furthermore, her service on the board of the United Nations University and the International Jury of the UNESCO Prize for Peace Education has helped to further international efforts toward including peace education in curricula around the globe. In 1990, Boulding was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for her work on nonviolence and conflict resolution. A few of the many honors and awards that she received include the Rocky Mountain Peace Center’s first Peace Maker of the Year award in 1996 and the Ikeda Center for Peace, Education and Dialogue’s first Global Citizen Award in 1995. Elise Boulding was a former University of Colorado at Boulder professor as well as a professor emerita of Sociology at Dartmouth College. After retiring from Dartmouth College in 1985 she lived in Boulder with her husband Kennth, remaining active together until he died in 1993. In November 1996, she moved to Wayland, MA, to live near her daughter Christie and in 2000 moved to the North Hill Retirement Community in Needham, MA. While living in the Boston area she was active in many organizations and continued to publish articles and books. Elise Boulding made significant contributions in the fields of peace research, peace education, peacemaking, future studies, feminism, the sociology of the family and had a lifelong involvement in the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) which she joined in 1940 at the age of 20. She advocated for the greater inclusion of women at the highest levels of diplomacy. She argued that strong families and the early education of children in nonviolent problem-solving were significant assets in humanity’s defense against a trigger-happy future. She delineated the importance of nongovernmental organizations in creating cross-cultural communities that mitigate the belligerent effects of national rivalries. She pleaded for the greater consideration of and respect for the cultures of third world and primitive societies. She promoted environmentalism as a precept that gave individuals a stake in the perpetuation of a peaceable planet. And she pointed out time and again that though the world’s attention was most often focused on humankind’s penchant for conflict and violence, an equivalent, perhaps even more powerful, penchant for peaceable behavior existed in human beings as well. Books by Elise Boulding that made significant contributions to a variety of fields include The Underside of History: A View of Women Through Time (1975, revised 1992); Women in the Twentieth Century World (1977); Children’s Rights and the Wheel of Life (1978); Building a Global Civic Culture: Education for an Independent World (1988); and Cultures of Peace: The Hidden Side of History (2000).
 
On the Editor of these Volumes
 
J. Russell Boulding J. Russell Boulding, the oldest son of Elise and Kenneth Boulding, has worked most of his life as a free-lance environmental consultant. Since 1973, when he helped set up the Environmental Defense Fund’s Denver Office, he has worked on projects funded by the U.S, Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Energy (including Argonne and Sandia National Laboratories), U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Office of Technology Assessment, National Academy of Sciences, Council of Energy Resource Tribes, and numerous national, regional and local environmental organizations and citizens’ groups. Mr. Boulding has a B.A. in Geology (1970) from Antioch College, Yellow Springs, Ohio, and an M.S. in Water Resources Management (1975) from the University of Wisconsin/Madison. He is author of more than 200 books, chapters, articles and consultant reports in the areas of environmental site characterization, soil and ground-water contamination assessment, fate and transport of hazardous chemicals, mined land reclamation, natural resource management and energy, economic and regulatory policy analysis. A number of his publications are available at: <https://independent.academia.edu/RussellBoulding>. His familiarity with Elise Boulding’s work extends beyond observing it as one of her children. In 1973 when Kenneth and Elise Boulding and Guy Burgess were developing the course The Social System of the Planet Earth (Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley), he helped flesh out the character of Exoc, the Extraterrestrial intelligence that was used as a literary device to help students shift their perspective on the topic they were studying. He also compiled the list of science fiction readings for the first assignment in the class. When his father died in 1993 he prepared Kenneth Boulding’s papers and publications and initial donation of Elise Boulding’s papers to University of Colorado Archives. In 2009 he prepared the second donation of Elise Boulding’s papers and publications to the University of Colorado Archives when she moved from her apartment to the Skilled Nursing Facility at North Hill Retirement Community in Needham, MA.
