One of the functions of this blog will be to write about my experiences with life in the United Arab Emirates. I will be joining the Department of International Studies at the American University of Sharjah in August of this year.
The move is an exciting one - both professionally and personally. I know that the perspective that I will gain from living in the UAE will assist me in better understanding the subjects that I am researching and teaching about. It will also be a real opportunity for my family and me, which will introduce us to a society with which we do not have extensive experience, and will open our minds to ways of life and thinking that will make us all more informed and well-rounded people.
I am posting some links here for those who are interested in finding out more about where we will be located.
Here is a link to a couple of promotional videos that AUS has created:
