Glen Doris

GLEN DORIS


 Associate Intercultural Consultant

PhD (Aberdeen), MTh, Grad.Dip.Info.Tech, BTh, Ass.Dip.Soc.Sci.
Born in Scotland but raised in Australia, Glen grew up within a cross-cultural dynamic during his formative years. For 6 years Glen lived and worked on an international ship (the MV Doulos), providing aid and development to countries in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Middle East. For 4 of these years he led a communications team dealing with public relations and local media and, at times, worked as an official spokesperson for the organization to the international press. While working onboard the MV Doulos, he has travelled to over 50 countries. These provided a rich source of experiences relevant to those having to venture out to live and work in countries and cultures far removed from their own.

Glen’s history research and publications have focused on the connections between ideology, economics and public responses to crisis and social change. His interest is in the unacknowledged relationship between international business and societal change, particularly the shaping of national moral culture.

He has presented his work at a variety of academic symposia and has been a keynote speaker at conferences in many countries dealing with a variety of topics. Glen has also taught seminars on the dynamics of ‘re-entry’ – preparing expatriate workers for return to their home countries after extended tours abroad. He has been married to Grace for over 25 years and they have 2 children together.
