Teaching — learning together

"Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand."
(Chinese Proverb)

This webpage features conference paper presentations, chaired/co-chaired conferences, conferences attended as a delegate, my university teaching (full semester), invited international travel and keynotes, invited university lectures and public lectures and miscellaneous invited offices, speeches and privileges. The page also contains links to related research and resources.

While we learn from the past, we also learn for the future. Learning is retrospective and prospective. In today's information age the base currency is learning, not knowledge. The American social writer and philosopher Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) put it this way: "The central task of education is to implant a will and a facility for learning; it should produce not learned but learning people. The truly human society is a learning society, where grandparents, parents, and children are students together. In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists." Fortunately there is no end to learning as Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) famously said: "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."
