New review of Women and Leadership in Distance Education in Canada published in Brock Education Journal! Thank you to Hannah Peter for your thoughtful review! journals.library.brocku.ca/brocked/inde...
![Quote from book review: This book does a wonderful job of encouraging a deeper understanding of the roles of women in distance education and women as leaders in higher education. […] By sharing their stories, more women can look to them for inspiration or validation of their own practices or journeys.

What does a journey mean fifty years later?
In 1976, Trevor Harrison joined thousands of young travellers making the overland journey from Turkey to India along the famous Hippie Trail. Today, that route has largely disappeared, but its stories remain.

The Hippie Trail helped define a generation of travellers. One such traveller was Trevor W. Harrison. In Safarnameh, he explores the physical, psychological, and emotional impact of long-distance travel and situates the journey within the broader context of the time.
