Cultural Experience I have gained significant cross cultural experience in teaching, research and administration. As my employment experience demonstrates, I have taught in several cross-cultural situations – Papua New Guinea, China, Germany – and I am conversant with the challenges of both lack of knowledge and stereotypes of Australian culture.
