I think it would be rather interesting. Everyone learns history from the victors point of view. I've alsways wondered, how for instance do the Japanese view World War two as opposed to their European or American counterparts. Or how do those in African countries view the process of both colonization and decolonization; in each case I have only ever learnt it from an Anglo-American historical poit of view, and even the Marxist accounts must vary differently from the African countries' viewpoint. So any help needed, I'd love to help out! Annie Hi Mike,

I have been engaging my research with primary and seconday Irish school students this last autumn semester at UCC. During the Spring of 2009, at the University of California, Santa Cruz, I conducted an accredited pilot course with university students that enabled these students to excell in their learning strategies exponentially with the same methods. I would be interested if you would consider talking together about our similar passion to think outside the box for learning sake. Hi Mike,

But unfortunately I've got loads of work to do before christmas. In the new year I'm free for some "extra" work. Regards, Matthias Hi Mike,

While I'm over at NYU for the rest of the academic year Mike I'd be very interested in providing some thoughts on the different teaching approaches between American and Irish Universities. I spent a year on exchange with the University of Montana in the first year of my M.Phil and I think that one of the things you should mention is the different approach that American Universities have towards postgrads (which they treat as a general group, both MA and PhD students mix in seminar classes) and the Irish Universities approach to various postgrad groups. Largely because of the dominance of the one-year MA and the fact the PhD student could get away with meeting only their supervisor throughout the Irish, research focused, PhD format. But I'm sure you'll come across people telling you about that difference pretty soonish in the project! Interesting stuff!

I did not do the military games option in second year so probably would not be much good for that but available for other if you like.
