expertise

okay so yesterday i was advised by the australian person who is the 'expert' on what our malaysian guests need/want from the courses we are writing that i should take out all that controversial stuff about sociology and culture and difference and just focus on learning theory

so figuring that i should bow to someone else's superior wisdom i took most of it out and rebadged it as innofensive things like cultural diversity

and in my meeting today with the malaysian team, about the only gap they saw in the materials was "where is the sociology"...

quite a hard question to answer really.
