Title

Australia Revisited: 1973-1988

Abstract

The author recounts the joys and foibles of 18 months spent as an Acting Director of the Learning Resources Centre in an Australian college of advanced education located in rural New South Wales. It is his contention that both the successes and failures of the project could have been maximized and minimized respectively had there been greater efforts made to bridge existent cultural gaps between the Australian and overseas participants. He further reflects upon some axioms learned in retrospect which might be helpful to others who would consider accepting future overseas assignments. Finally, he had waited with keen anticipation to return to the scene of his 18-month experience which he describes as having been filled with joy, love, and despair. This reunion took place in July of this year. He is happy to report a total absence of despair, just joy and love. © 1988, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.
