I am an applied anthropologist specializing in international development and cross-cultural learning and ad-aptation. I also have extensive experience as a senior university administrator, particularly as regards interna-tional education. I have combined these two interests throughout my career, which has included extensive pe-riods of work and residence overseas in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

PROFESSOR OF ANTHROPOLOGY (July 2009 – present), Purdue University. I am a tenured full professor in Purdue’s recently-created Department of Anthropology. I teach courses in cultural diversity, applied anthropology, cross-cultural adaptation, and international development. I also offer courses and workshops for anthropology and engineering students engaged in community projects overseas. I also remain very active in a variety of international programming efforts, both at Purdue and elsewhere.

ASSOCIATE PROVOST AND DEAN OF INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS (2003 – 2009), Purdue University: I managed a staff of 45 and a budget of approximately 2.5 million dollars. Our activities included bringing international students and scholars to campus, supporting study abroad programs for our own students, and developing and managing international collaborative partnerships with selected universities. I worked with Purdue’s ten academic colleges to help them craft effective international strategies, and to help develop faculty capacity for international work. Our office was responsible for setting policy and practice for most aspects of Purdue’s international activities. In 2006, our office won NAFSA’s prestigious Simon Award for international education.

ASSOCIATE PROVOST AND DIRECTOR (1998 - 2003), Institute for Global Studies and Affairs, University of Cincinnati: I was responsible for leading UC’s Globalization Initiative, including the development of policy for international activities. I oversaw a staff of five full-time professionals. Activities included a program of Globalization Grants to students and faculty, the Education Abroad office, the International Co-Operative Education program, the Education Abroad Support Program, and the Global Studies Certificate within the Honors Program. I also negotiated linkages with overseas universities, chaired the campus Fulbright committee, and taught two courses per year.

DEAN OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS AND PROGRAMS (1995 - 1998), Golden Gate University, San Francis-co: This was a newly-created position, responsible for internationalizing the university through the devel-opment of new programs and activities. I directed a staff of 5 full time and 10 part-time specialists. My of-fice had responsibility for executive training programs, overseas degree programs, the English Language Institute, and institutional linkages with foreign universities and organizations. I chaired the task force which produced Golden Gate’s first Academic Plan, and I developed the school’s strategic plan for interna-tionalization. I supervised the MBA program run from our Singapore campus, and I led the team which developed a joint MBA program with a Chinese university. Our executive training programs included par-ticipants from Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe.

DIRECTOR (1989 - 1995), International Management Development Institute, Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, University of Pittsburgh: The Institute (IMDI) delivered high-level executive training programs in English, French, and Arabic, on the Pitt campus and around the world. I had a full-time staff of 14, a part-time staff of 20 - 40, and generated soft-money revenues of $2 million or more yearly. I also designed and managed the International Affairs Network, a $1.5 million capacity-building program for international affairs professors from Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, funded by a grant from the Pew Charitable Trusts. I was an Associate Professor in GSPIA, and taught graduate courses in Development Anthropology and Project Design.

SELECTED PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS

Here are some examples of major projects and programs which I have helped design and manage. I can pro-vide more details of any of these, including the names and addresses of participating colleagues.

MOI UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM: (Purdue 2008 – present) While I was Dean, we planned and set up a long-term partnership with Moi University in Western Kenya. Our office led negotiations with Moi, Indiana University, and IUPUI to develop a partnership initially centered on water issues, but intended to develop over a twenty-year period, and to involve students, faculty and the community in both Indiana and Kenya. This is Purdue’s first such long-term program in Africa.

GLOBAL PARTNERS PROGRAM: (Purdue 2006 – 2009) Our office took 10-12 Purdue faculty and staff mem-bers abroad each year, to a different destination, to help them understand the opportunities in that loca-tion for international education, to enable them to meet their colleagues, and to help them design and de-velop new programs of their own. We brought delegations to China, India, Turkey, Mexico, and Kenya.

GRADUATE RECRUITMENT OVERSEAS (GRO): (Purdue 2005 – 2009) We provided funding and support to faculty wishing to recruit strategically from specific countries or regions. This program was in addition to our regular international recruitment efforts. GRO encouraged faculty to go overseas with our staff and to present research, meet alumni, and offer scholarship support to selected students.

INTERNSHIP AND SERVICE LEARNING PROGRAMS: (Purdue, 2006 – 2009) We were successful at encourag-ing faculty to promote international research internships for both undergraduate and graduate students, and to design and run a set of service learning programs in six different countries. Internship and service learning programs now account for one-fifth of Purdue’s study abroad participants.

ASIAN INITIATIVE: (Purdue, 2005 – 2009) Our office was in charge of Purdue’s “Asian Initiative,” a program to establish strategic linkages with the top universities in China and India, to develop alumni programs there, and to promote student mobility through recruitment, exchange and study abroad. This program also funded a program of visiting distinguished scholars from China and India.

STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS WITH OVERSEAS UNIVERSITIES: (Purdue, 2004 – 2009) Our office successfully promoted strategic partnerships in Europe (notably in Belgium and France), in India (with IIT Bombay) and in China (notably with Tsinghua, Peking, and Shanghai Jiaotong Universities). These partnerships are intended to be long-term, multi-stranded and developmental. This experience helped us develop our long-term partnership with Moi University in Kenya.

INTERNATIONAL CO-OP PROGRAM: (Cincinnati, 1998 -- 2004) The International Co-op Program, originally located in the School of Engineering, was transferred to the Institute for Global Studies and Affairs in early 1998. This innovative program sends junior-year undergraduates in the university’s professional concen-trations (e.g., engineering, planning, and business) abroad on paid co-op assignments with overseas firms. We sent students to Japan, Germany, and Mexico. The program included advising, language and culture preparation, work assignments, and follow-up.

GLOBAL STUDIES CERTIFICATE: (Cincinnati, 1998 -- 2004) The Global Studies Certificate was an innovative joint program designed and managed by the Institute for Global Studies and Affairs and Honors. The pro-gram included a prerequisite survey course, a learning contract, four linked courses on a global theme, an overseas learning experience, and a capstone. This program design has since been copied elsewhere at UC, and at other universities.

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS NETWORK: (Pittsburgh, various Eastern European locations 1993 - 1995) This was a multi-year capacity-building program, run by the International Management Development Institute (IMDI) which I directed. It linked APSIA schools of international affairs in the US with counterpart schools in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Universities in Estonia, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, and Hungary participated. Four primary activities were funded under the program: In-ternet connectivity; six-month research fellowships in US schools for EE/FSU professors; in-country train-ing to build local institutional capacity to conduct international relations teaching; and regional projects, done collaboratively with two or more participating schools. Together with GSPIA’s Dean, I designed the program and wrote the funding proposal for $1.5 million from the Pew Charitable Trusts.

BALTICS FOREIGN AFFAIRS PROGRAM: (Pittsburgh and the Baltics, March - December 1991) This was a series of short-term training programs designed by IMDI for officials of the Foreign Ministries of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, designed to prepare them for independence from the Soviet Union. Program compo-nents included training in foreign policy making, international negotiation, and the management of for-

4 eign relations. This program was funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts in Philadelphia. I was the team leader on this project, with main responsibility for program design, proposal writing, and program man-agement and followup.

FRANCOPHONE DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT SEMINARS: (Pittsburgh and West Africa, 1989 - 1995) This was a yearly series of upper-level IMDI executive training programs, in French, for African public and pri-vate sector officials. IMDI had offered this program since 1977. Beginning in 1989, I led a team to exten-sively revise and restructure the program to take account of changing market needs. The program com-prised a linked series of modules and specializations, and attracted large number of Francophone Africans to the Pittsburgh campus each summer. Funding came from a variety of sources, including bilateral and multilateral agencies, NGOs, national governments and the private sector. I worked with my staff at IMDI to evaluate and redesign the program each year, based on participant and donor feedback.

ARABIC LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT SEMINARS (Pittsburgh, 1989 – 1994) IMDI also ran a yearly management seminar entirely in Arabic, for private and public sector officials from North Africa and the Middle East. We revised and expanded this program several times, developing modules and exer-cises in response to participant needs. Smaller than the French-language program, we attracted 30-40 participants each year. As above, funding came primarily from development agencies, government, and the private sector.

RUSSIAN SENIOR EXECUTIVE PROGRAM: (Pittsburgh, September 1993 - September 1994) This was a tai-lor-made management training and education program designed by IMDI for senior Russian factory man-agers. Its main components included language training, intensive management training, and academic coursework. The managers (and their families) were in Pittsburgh for over one year. The program was funded jointly by eleven Russian enterprises and the Russian Ministry of Industry. I led the team for this project, negotiated the contract with Russian officials, designed the program with my staff, and supervised implementation.

INDONESIAN SENIOR EXECUTIVE TRAINING PROGRAMS: (Pittsburgh and Indonesia, September 1989 - Oc-tober 1995) This was a 5-year program (one program each year) run by IMDI for senior Indonesian pro-vincial officials (Wakil-Gubernor, Sekwilda, and Bupati) in regional and local development planning. Components included training in project design and management, human resource management, financial management, natural resource management, and information systems. This program was funded by the Indonesian Ministry of Home Affairs. Together with IMDI’s Regional Manager for Southeast Asia, I rede-signed the program after each offering, based on participant and donor response. I also helped negotiate the program content with Indonesian officials.

MILLION HOUSES PROGRAM: (Colombo, Sri Lanka, 1982 - 1984) The Million Houses Program was initiated by Sri Lanka’s (then) Prime Minister and Minister for Housing, Ranasinghe Premadasa, later Sri Lanka’s President. I served as USAID’s housing policy advisor to the Ministry, and worked with a team of Sri Lankan and expatriate specialists to design the components of this multi-million dollar program. I worked on policy formulation, financial analyses, training designs, and evaluation procedures. I also worked on aspects of the UN demonstration projects for the International Year of Shelter for the Homeless, including staff and participant training design and delivery.

MELLASSINE INTEGRATED URBAN IMPROVEMENT PROJECT: (Tunis, Tunisia, 1979 - 1982) This was the first integrated urban development project funded by USAID and the Tunisian government. It involved the provision of community development services to an urban slum which was undergoing physical upgrad-ing. The project included programs in small business development, health education, vocational training, and literacy. I was Project Director, responsible for the design of the project, its management, and its mon-itoring, evaluation and training components.

PEACE CORPS TRAINING PROGRAM: (Thies, Senegal, 1979) I served as Peace Corps/Senegal’s Training Di-rector, and designed and managed a 12-week program for 35 volunteers on a training site in Thies, out-side of Dakar. The program included language training, cross-cultural training, and technical training, as well as homestays and site visits. I also supervised the evaluation of the program.

The film appeared as an episode of Kando Express (Osaka’s Channel 5) in July, 1997.

City College of New York, Review of International Studies Program (April 1998, New York).

CAREER SUMMARY

Ever since the 1960s, I have been interested in the application of social science to problems of change and development. I am especially interested in issues and topics relating to cross-cultural learning, the links between international and domestic development, and the interface between traditional and non-traditional education. I have pursued these interests both at home and abroad, combining applied work with university teaching and administration. The resulting synergy is, in my view, well worth the extra effort involved.

My interest in applied anthropology began in 1965, when I joined the Peace Corps. My three years in rural Senegal convinced me that successful development work required an in-depth understanding of cultural factors, and I made plans for a career in this area. Before leaving the Peace Corps in 1968, I obtained a Ful-bright scholarship for graduate study in social anthropology at Sussex University.

By late 1969, I had finished a Master’s thesis on innovation in community development projects. In 1970, I began doctoral field work in Eastern Senegal on the impact of wage-labor migration on a Bassari vil-lage. I spent nearly two years in the field, and married Christine Byrne -- also an anthropologist -- halfway through my investigation. We returned to England at the end of 1972. In early 1973, I was offered a lecture-ship at the University of Papua New Guinea.

There I joined a young and energetic faculty whose emphasis was on the practical application of so-cial science, helping prepare the first generation of university-educated Papua New Guineans for independ-ence in 1975. I designed and taught courses in community development, research methods, social policy plan-ning, and research ethics. I also organized student field projects in community development, and helped them prepare and publish their results. I served on the university’s Academic Governing Board, edited the local so-cial science journal, participated in several research projects, and began to do consulting work.

I taught in Papua New Guinea for four years. Christine’s work in housing planning and policy for the Papua New Guinea government, together with our joint involvement with a major migration study through the ANU, had encouraged me to plan another fieldwork trip, this time on urbanization. In 1977, I returned to Sen-egal with a Ford-Rockefeller post-doctoral fellowship, to do research on the adaptation of Bassari migrants to city life.

Returning to the US a year later, I was appointed a Research Associate at the University of California at Berkeley, where I spent a year writing up my results from Senegal. During this time, I also designed and di-rected a training program for the Peace Corps. At this stage, I decided that after some years of concentrating on development at the local level, I needed to learn more about the large agencies which dominated so much of the field.

In late 1979 I joined PADCO, a Washington-based firm of urban and regional planners. I moved to Tu-nis, where I designed and managed a USAID-funded socio-economic improvement project in Mellassine, an urban slum community. This gave me valuable experience in project design, staff training and evaluation.

The Mellassine project lasted for nearly three years. In mid-1982, I was asked by USAID to go to Sri Lanka, where I became a housing policy advisor to the Ministry of Local Government, Housing and Construc-tion. I worked on policy analysis and planning, the design and supervision of surveys and studies relating to housing, the design of procedures for community upgrading and housing local programs, and the design and execution of training programs for Sri Lankan staff.

By 1984, I had gained five years of experience working within development agencies. I now wanted to return to teaching and writing. In mid-1984 I accepted a position in the Anthropology Department at Georgia State University. There, I designed and taught courses in introductory anthropology, African area studies, ur-ban anthropology, research design, social change, and cross-cultural adjustment. I also became more active in several professional organizations (AAA and SfAA in particular), organizing seminars and workshops on as-pects of applied and development anthropology.

Seeking more direct involvement in the training of development practitioners, in 1986 I became a Senior Faculty member of the School for International Training (SIT) in Brattleboro, Vermont. As the academic arm of the Experiment in International Living, SIT offered a Master’s Program in International Management, and over the next three years I designed and taught courses in development project planning and manage-ment, research methods, cross-cultural communication, and planned social change. I supervised a large num-ber of thesis students, organized workshops, agency placements, internships and independent study courses, and served as an editorial advisor to the Experiment Press. During this time, I also undertook a six-month as-signment for the World Bank, preparing an analysis of Senegal’s agricultural development policy, and a three-month field assignment in Somalia.

17 In 1989, I joined the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs (GSPIA) at the University of Pittsburgh. I held a joint appointment as an Associate Professor in both GSPIA and the Department of Anthro-pology, and I taught courses in both project design and development anthropology. My primary job, however, was as the Director of GSPIA’s International Management Development Institute (IMDI), which provided train-ing and consulting services for public and private sector managers from around the world. IMDI’s activities in-volved participants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East, with training programs in English, French and Ara-bic. During my tenure there, IMDI initiated training and institutional development activities in Eastern Europe, the Baltic States, Russia and Ukraine, including a 5-year, $1.5 million capacity building project with eight insti-tutes of international affairs in the ECE region.

In early 1998, after a short interlude as Dean of International Affairs and Programs at Golden Gate University, I accepted the position of Associate Provost and Director, Institute of Global Studies and Affairs at the University of Cincinnati. Because this was a newly-created position at a large research university which had made the decision to globalize itself, the challenge was almost irresistible. I had responsibility for the overall promotion and support of global activities, including the allocation of grant support for faculty and student projects, the support of international co-operative work programs, education abroad programs, over-seas institutional linkages, and liaison with a wide variety of national and international groups.

After six very rewarding years at Cincinnati, I was offered the opportunity to become Dean of Interna-tional Programs at Purdue University, one of the nation’s foremost land-grant institutions. In 2006, I was pro-moted to the position of Associate Provost, while continuing to serve as Dean. Our office oversees a large and varied international student population, encourages the growth of our exchange and study abroad programs, and connects Purdue with international partners through collaborative linkages. In accordance with estab-lished Purdue policy,

I left the Dean’s office in July of 2009, at the close of the academic year in which I turned 65, in ac-cordance with established Purdue policy. I have now taken up my tenured position as Professor of Anthropol-ogy, in Purdue’s College of Liberal Arts. I intend, however, to continue my close involvement with international education, to continue to learn, and to continue to contribute to this most important activity.

I have also begun to work to build connections between anthropology students and engineering stu-dents at Purdue University, to promote a transdisciplinary approach to community project design and imple-mentation. I work with the local chapter of Engineers Without Borders, with Purdue’s EPICS program, and with Purdue’s Global Design Teams. We have organized courses and joint workshops, and plan to continue this work.

During the past thirty-five years my professional interests have followed a clear pattern of develop-ment. Ever since my time in the Peace Corps, I have believed that North Americans needed to know more about the rest of the world, for our own well-being and that of others, but that we were generally ill-equipped to do this. My initial curiosity about international development became focused on policy, planning and de-sign, and subsequently on implementation issues and change management.

I also concluded that at home, education and training were the entry points into building our capacity to learn about, understand, and help change the world. I have been able to transfer my skills and experience in development work to issues of internationalization and intercultural learning in higher education.

Because as a scholar-practitioner I have focused on issues of application, my career pattern has shown a series of moves through progressively responsible positions. Partly as a result of this mobility, I have managed to acquire a very thorough grounding in a variety of linked domains, including upper-level university administration, several international development agencies, and non-Western cultures in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. As a result, I have a set of skills and experience which is unusually broad and deep at the same time.
