Happy 4th of July!
While I made the very conscious choice NOT to live in the US and NOT to teach at any of the awesome American universities where I could easily find a position as an assistant professor, I have many reasons to have an appreciation for the United States of America (USA). Two of my brothers live in the US, very happily, and with their families. Three of my brothers did their graduate degrees (two of them, PhDs).
Two of my brothers have taught at American universities and educated US citizens. My research is on North American environmental policy and that includes US environmental policy. I have spent extended periods of time in the US doing research. And I have had numerous students from the US who have been extremely bright, and I have a lot of ex-pat American friends here in Vancouver. So, for many reasons, I wish the US a very happy birthday!

You got offered assistant professor positions at multiple US universities and turned them down? I didn’t know that! Why did you decide to do that?
