The SAVANNAH period ... August 2011+
Another time of transition; this time from Bulgaria to America, from global frontier, American-style higher education to a different style of higher education at home, from teaching in different cultures to ... teaching in a different culture. It was good, and interesting, in Blagoevgrad for four years. Great travel, fascinating students from 40+ countries, teaching with a mission, seeing media in unique contexts.
Now sumptuous Savannah, where old graces struggle to regain recognition if not respect, where the living is easy, and warm. The higher education less so. Here we teach 4 & 4, plus advising 100 students, plus senior projects, plus independent studies, plus ACEJMC re-accreditation.
The new challenges are leavened by delightful grandchildren, a gorgeous home/refuge on a barrier island, being close to friends and family, and the daily intrigue of a homeland having lost its way.
