Kent Anderson on Cycling Across Countries and the Art of Tracking Down The Right Problems to Solve
Channel: The Global Society
Date: 08/11/2023

Kent Anderson is the Deputy Vice Chancellor of Global Engagement and Partnerships at the University of Newcastle. But critically, he's a fantastic storyteller, and even though I've known him for over a decade, there were plenty of surprising stories in this conversation that I hadn't heard before. 

More than anyone I know, Kent has the ability to cut to the heart of an issue or question, to reframe or refocus it if necessary, and to come up with logical, structured responses. 
It's an irritating superpower... I've sat in many a meeting wishing I'd come up with the succinct analysis that Kent had just delivered. 

This conversation was not only a lot of fun, but incredibly insightful into the way Governments and universities can develop effective policy, how to align stakeholders around a vision, and reasons to be optimistic for the future of international education. 

Kent is honest, engaging and thoughtful - you're going to love this.
