I was elected to the Fellowship Council as the International representative. The Council members will first meet together at the RSA AGM on October 7th 2009. Whether you are in Africa, Australia, Europe, India, the USA or elsewhere outside the UK, please help me to understand what issues are uppermost on your mind. I want to help by providing a voice for overseas fellows at Council and also help propagate UK programmes and discussions overseas.
Please feel free to post comments below that are relevant to your experience as an overseas fellow.

Hi – I am a UK-based fellow elected in 2008 but am currently a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley conducting research for one year. I am ordinarily a social affairs staff writer for The Guardian Newspaper but am currently a 2009/20010 Alistair Cooke Fulbright Scholar researching coverage of mental health in the US and UK mainstream press. I am making lots of contacts – practitioners, service users, academics and others but am keen to broaden the net. If there are any fellows who are interested in this field or who know people it might be useful for me to be in touch with i’d be very grateful for any pointers!
