Randall Anthony Jonas: PR • Communications • Research • Publishing • Educational Design
Notes from a Wandering Bard
__________________________________________________________________________________________
My name is Randall Jonas. Over the past twenty years I have had the pleasure of world travel by backpack, many repeat visits to the university and professional experiences that can all locate themselves in one way or another to communicating publicly. Speaking French and Swedish has also helped me to "see" my own language in a new light. As a PR and Communications professional, writer, editor, author and educational content developer my professional life has been eclectic and fun!
Working in Canada, Sweden, Qatar and the UAE amongst other countries has made me appreciate culture, travel and different ways of achieving goals.
The very human experiences I have had in university, the classroom, world travel and publishing have taught me more than I could ever only read about people and how they learn. And that essentially we all need to be cared for and motivated when it comes to work, education and our personal lives.
Writing, editing, research and publishing take up most of my time now. I love writing and editing when it occurs both in hardcopy and online formats. The ICT revolution impresses me with its virtually limitless capacity for creativity, communication, education and enjoyment: I embrace technology and it serves me and my purposes.
Some of the places I have worked for are Canada's National Research Council, The University of British Columbia's Public Knowledge Project, Barron's Education, Macmillan UK, Liber SE, Natur och Kultur SE, Pearson Longman, and Klett of Germany. As of 2012 I have published 3 books, acaemic research and worked on over 20 different titles for a variety of clients.
As a social scientist I have published with both The University of British Columbia and the University of Hong Kong.
