“American Uncle” Tony Novosel on Study USA & the Transformational Power of Travel

  • Resumen

  • 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.
