Welcome to the neo-Medieval Globalized world system in which we scholars should recognize mobility as part of our socially constructed realities.
Over the past five decades, I have spent less than 11 years in the USA, not necessarily for solely personal or professional reasons, but just following opportunities and interests.
My first research as an advanced UG student at UC Berkeley was on issues of what was later labeled "sustainable development" and was part of the group that evolved Bioregional Theory. Later research within the UN-IBP took me to the Arctic then to North Africa, where my senior research project and dissertation was entitled "Desert Nomadic Pastoralism as a Natural Resource: Conservation and regeneration"
After a year in North Africa ending in a journey across the Sahara and by ship to Arabia, I returned to Berkeley, wrote up my research and was offered a position in Saudi Arabia, which took me and my young family to the Hijaz for the next 6 years. Affiliated with King Abdelaziz University, I conducted research and tutored grad students in theory, methodology and field research.
Back to the US for a Washington Masters in Geography and Regional Planning, my earlier bioregional interests plugged me into the Cascadia movement, expanding that chapter into British Columbia and work on both the Canadian Green Plan and Cultural Resource Planning. Afterwards, nearly a decade in Montana (UM) furthered that work but also took me around the Circumboreal Forest Belt for 5 years of research on Sustainable Bioregional Development, with sojourns in Japan and Scandinavia.

Is this one of those "this is a blog, not an academic journal" posts?
I still maintain that this is neither a blog nor an academic journal.
