Abstract

In 1991, through a series of accidents I found myself – an American academic from Vanderbilt University – located in Chiang Mai, a small city in Northern Thailand. I had chosen Chiang Mai University as the site for a Fulbright Fellowship working with their Department of Educational Administration. During the course of the Fulbright Fellowship, which lasted 7 months, I was initiated into a world of schools that was different from what I had known as a teacher, school administrator, and scholar in the USA.
