FRIENDS OF THE

Pericles 'Asher'
Rospigliosi
Asher is a senior
lecturer in e-business and management information systems at the
University of Brighton Business School. He conducts research
into blended e-learning for higher education and continuing
professional development in business. Asher has a substantial
and successful commercial track record in the development and
management of online systems for commerce and education. One of
of his commercial projects won the 1999 PPAi award for best
consumer website (GameSpot UK). Other areas of specialist
interest are the impact of ubiquitous internet access on
business, organisations, planning, learning and knowledge.
Away from the
internet, he has spent the last four years researching the
relationship between higher education and employment. He is
currently working on the idea of a New Vocationalism: returning
the emphasis in education to stimulating students willingness
and ability to learn. With his co-authors he has presented these
ideas at the The Institute For Employment Studies and The Work
Foundation.
Asher's
non-academic areas of interest include his dogs (Cleo and
Hermes), tipis and low impact living, Wing Chun Kung Fu,
walking, cooking, eating, dancing and travelling with his
partner Mitch (though not necessarily in that order!).
