Acknowledgements<br />
The collection <strong>of</strong> data for this directory, <strong>and</strong> its organisation into the format produced here, has been a<br />
substantial exercise, spread over several months. Thanks are due to many individuals for contributing, in<br />
many cases fitting in the time to do so alongside their other duties.<br />
Within the UK, production was coordinated by Julie Stackhouse <strong>and</strong> Irene Costello. It was, however, a<br />
genuine team effort involving, at various stages, Liz Walden, Prithi Kanakamedala, Adrian Flaherty, Nital<br />
Jethalal, Lisa Voyce <strong>and</strong> the ACU support team. Sue Kirkl<strong>and</strong>, Paul Turner, Helen Elmes, Andrew Aitken<br />
<strong>and</strong> Matthew Grange <strong>of</strong> the ACU Yearbook team provided essential expertise on production issues, as well<br />
as editorial assistance. Mike Brodbelt, Iain Tatch, Arvinder Sansoa <strong>and</strong> Katherine Spice provided critical<br />
technical support, whilst the ACU Librarian Nick Mulhern was a valuable source <strong>of</strong> information in several<br />
areas. William S<strong>and</strong>eford was responsible for design issues. Jonathan Jenkins, Jay Kubler <strong>and</strong> colleagues<br />
in the Awards department also made important contributions at various stages in the process, whilst the<br />
collection <strong>of</strong> data benefited greatly from previous studies organised by Mary Denyer <strong>and</strong> Tony Wildsmith.<br />
Mary Searle-Chaterjee, a former UK scholar in India, also contributed important information regarding<br />
other British scholars who studied in South Asia.<br />
The Canadian survey was coordinated by Marc L’Ecuyer, Luc Asselin <strong>and</strong> colleagues at the International<br />
Council for Canadian Studies (ICCS). Nancy Hector <strong>of</strong> the Department <strong>of</strong> Foreign Affairs <strong>and</strong> International<br />
Trade (DFAIT) was responsible for instigating the work <strong>and</strong> subsequent coordination. Invaluable<br />
asssistance was also provided by Piers Stainforth <strong>of</strong> DFAIT. DFAIT also made a valuable financial<br />
contribution to the final production, as did the Foreign <strong>and</strong> <strong>Commonwealth</strong> Office <strong>and</strong> <strong>Commonwealth</strong><br />
<strong>Scholars</strong>hip Commission in the United Kingdom.<br />
Thanks are due to all <strong>of</strong> the above, but perhaps our greatest gratitude should be reserved for the hundreds <strong>of</strong><br />
individuals throughout the world who have taken the time to return their questionnaires, or provide<br />
information regarding other scholars. It is their enthusiasm, most <strong>of</strong> all, which has made the project<br />
worthwhile.<br />
