Seeking Social Good: A Life Worth Living - Volume 4: Living and Working Overseas

Periodically living and working overseas is an important part of an academic's professional and family life. In mid-1974, a family camping trip in Europe preceded living on York University campus for six months. Both in 1983 and again in 1987/88, a year was spent in the USA by the author and his wife – adding to their year at Michigan in 1967. 1983 was divided between Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. A prestigious appointment 1987/88 at Hunter College in New York proved richly rewarding professionally and personally. In the first half of 1990, the author helped to develop a social work doctoral program at Wilfrid Laurier University in Canada and then taught a professional ethics course on a teaching exchange at the University of Stockholm. The author's careful records have provided insight into periodically living in other social, cultural and academic environments.
