Voices from the Field #5: No regrets: From Being a Fulbright Scholar in Taiwan to Having Taught for Decades in Macau

Voices from the Field

No regrets: From being a Fulbright scholar in Taiwan to having taught for decades in Macau: A conversation with Todd Sandel.

I recently had an inspiring conversation with Todd Sandel, a veteran Advisory Board member at the Center for Intercultural Dialogue and Professor at the University of Macau, about his decades of research and teaching experience in Asia. The following provides reflections on some of his experiences as an intercultural scholar and educator.

My most gratifying experiences come from advising and learning from my graduate students. At Macau I have supervised to completion 6 doctoral dissertations and 46 masters theses. While I cannot vividly recall all, some do come to mind as particularly meaningful, especially those that I supervised early on.

Applied ICDCall for participants: Bridging Histories: Youth Dialogue Through Cross-Border Heritage, Türkiye and Eurasia Partnership Foundation (Armenia), 2026-27. Deadline: 30 September 2026.

Bridging Histories: Youth Dialogue through Cross-Border Heritage is jointly implemented by Anadolu Kültür (Türkiye) and Eurasia Partnership Foundation with the financial support of the European Union.

The project aims to bring together young people from Türkiye and Armenia around their shared cultural heritage, strengthen intercultural dialogue, and encourage collaborative learning and production through the exploration of the shared heritage of Kars and Gyumri.

Throughout the one-year project, selected participants will take part in expert-led training sessions, work in mixed teams with young people from both countries, participate in field research in Kars and Gyumri, and develop research-based heritage content that may serve as a foundation for future digital interpretation tools.

Rather than viewing cultural heritage solely as a means of documenting the past, the project approaches it as an opportunity to foster mutual understanding, strengthen shared memory, and encourage young people to collaborate across borders through dialogue, research, and creative production.

The Language Policy Forum is international, affordable, and accessible.

They welcome delegates at all career levels and across different professional sectors.

A special focus of LPF 2027 is the relationship between monocentric and pluricentric language policies, and the ways in which different sociolinguistic traditions conceptualise language standardisation, variation, identity and language management. Contributions examining these issues from comparative, historical or contemporary perspectives are especially encouraged, although not exclusively. We further welcome contributions that engage with questions of multilingualism, linguistic diversity, language rights, language education, migration, digital communication, artificial intelligence, language revitalisation, linguistic landscapes, language ideologies, and the governance of languages in public and private domains.
