The Bottom Line

I’m back home and reunited with Kitty and Saleem. My jet lag is receding and the unpacking has been completed. The bottom line:

-3 refereed journal articles published

-1 invited book chapter published

-4 papers finished off and under review at journals

-data gathered for 6 new studies, analysis and write-ups in progress

-75 new silk clothing items (39 silk blouses, 8 silk pants, 7 silk jackets, 5 silk dresses, 4 silk skirts, 2 silk qi paos, 1 silk skirt/blouse set, 3 silk pant/top sets, 1 silk/bamboo top, 1 silk/velvet coat)

-69 silk scarves (many to be used as gifts!)

-34 new sweaters (23 cashmere, 5 wool, 3 silk, 1 angora, 1 alpaca and 1 with fur)

-8 wool scarves, 3 winter hats, 2 pairs winter gloves

-1 fur coat, 1 fur jacket, 1 fur vest

-and many other less note-worthy clothing and souvenir/gift items.

The cross-cultural learning cannot be quantified and is priceless. I encourage everyone to create a research agenda for their sabbatical time, find some funding, and relocate to a different setting to work with and learn from colleagues elsewhere in the world. This opportunity is one of the great privileges of academic life, and I know that this incredible experience that I have had over the past 14 months will enhance my ability to carry out my future research, teaching and service responsibilities. Over and out.
