In the first half of 1998 he took study leave to visit the University of California at Berkley, Cambridge University in the UK, and to take a position as a Visiting Fellow at the Sustainable Futures Institute at the University of Technology, Sydney.

His recent academic work focuses on the analysis of different approaches to sustainable development and their policy implications; the development of a better understanding of well-being in economic theory and policy; and the links between world views, ethics and `the good society'.
