Greetings and welcome to Green's International Travel Blog.
As you will see from my profile, I am an Assistant Professor of Sociology and Community Development in the Division of Social Sciences at Delta State University. Additionally, I serve as Graduate Coordinator for Community Development and Director of the Institute for Community-Based Research.
My interests include community development, sustainability, health and globalization. As part of my work, I do a good bit of travel. Much of this is domestic (US), but I am doing more and more international travel as well. Interestingly, many of the faculty in the Division of Social Sciences at DSU travel and work internationally.
Today I am heading for China as part of the American Sociological Association's trip to China. I am taking this trip to help develop relationships with sociologists and other researchers in China as part of an effort at my University to build international components into our programs.
I will try to post updates daily whenever possible, so I hope you will check back regularly.

I am especially interested in any of your discoveries/discussions about the earthquake disaster. Also, I have seen recently on PBS that China does not have a strong history of public participation (it's been a one-party govt), but that may be changing. Please explore that for us in regard to opportunities for participatory research. (Pick the brains of those Sociologists).
Thanks! -- Partner of the Year
