Koala and Epston Adventures

Hullo mates,

Drum roll, please!  YES!  I cuddled a koala!  (It almost sounds like something that would be on Jerry Springer.)  Hank seemed oblivious to me as he munched his eucalyptus!  Of course, I have a photo and will be glad to share it when I return.  It was so exciting.  Somehow, even as a kid in Kentucky, I've always wanted to see a koala up close and personal and visit Australia.  I think the adventure in it always appealed to me.  I never dreamed of going to Europe (no offense to Europe) but Australia. 

Also, Monday and Tuesday we had David Epston the co-developer with Michael White of narrative therapy leading our training.  He recently has been introducing South America to narrative.  (I learned so much I will summarize it all on this blog when I return.)  He's interested in my ideas of connecting liberation theology with narrative therapy and gave me a copy of his book which he autographed.  I also got some great teaching ideas from his presentation for the postmodern class spring 2011.

Well, I have three chapters for a three volume anthology called "Explaining Evil" to proof for the editor.  It will be published by Praeger the end of this month.

Blog with you later,
SMC

  2. It was nice having you and your friends in class via skype. There is hope for technology! We all look forward to your safe return. I especially look forward to seeing your picture of Hank the Koala.

    God Bless!
