Manage episode 415194780 series 1527238
Tony Novosel MBE is a former motor mechanic, steelworker, and semi-retired academic from Pittsburgh who has dedicated his life to serving Northern Ireland.
In this episode, we talk about:
How the collapse of the steel industry was the best thing that ever happened to him
Why he first decided to visit Northern Ireland 50 years ago
(And why he's been 85+ times since!)
Acting as "the American uncle” for NI students on the Study USA programme, (which is is managed by British Council Northern Ireland on behalf of the Department for the Economy)
The transformation power travel has had on his own life and the lives of his students
Why we tend to oversimplify narratives
The grassroots movements that led to a hugely successful academic book about NI
Being awarded an MBE
And advice he'd give to any student interested in studying overseas!
Check it out.
