Judith Carlisle, PhD, serves as Adjunct Faculty at Naropa University, teaching in the MA Yoga Studies and Master of Divinity programs where she instructs the course "Power, Privilege, and Diversity." Following a 20-year career as a professor of information systems and computer science, her current academic focus bridges contemplative practices with social justice initiatives and death/dying studies.
Her educational background includes:
- AB in English Literature from Occidental College
- MS in Management Information Systems from University of Arizona
- PhD in Management Information Systems from University of Arizona
- MA in Yoga Studies from Loyola Marymount University
Dr. Carlisle's research demonstrates a significant evolution from technical information systems scholarship to contemplative interdisciplinary work. Early career investigations centered on the data-information-knowledge-wisdom (DIKW) hierarchy, computer ethics frameworks, and natural language processing methodologies. Current research examines how yoga traditions and contemplative practices can advance social justice movements and transform societal approaches to mortality. This dual-phase trajectory reflects deep engagement with both technological epistemology and spiritual-existential dimensions of human experience.
Publication trends reveal a clear transition from information systems foundations (1990-2010) to contemporary integrations of yoga, AI, and social theory (2011-2019). Early works established theoretical contributions to knowledge management and DIKW philosophy, while recent scholarship like her 2019 DANAM Conference paper explores spatial justice through Hatha Yoga and artificial intelligence applications. This body of work consistently connects technical rigor with humanistic concerns across both career phases.
