Description

Selected postings to the Intercultural Insights group & discussions with colleagues.

My interests reflected here include time, directness / indirectness in communication, music, food and drink, migration, religions, movies, intercultural training and development. I draw upon psychoanalysis, philosophy and anthropology in my work and in my discussion of topics like Personal Identity and Authenticity. But I don’t take it all seriously as you’ll see from my diversions into roundabouts and road rules
