Approach
Within the tradition of eclecticism (selecting what is best from various sources or systems) Williams uses Edward O.Wilson's multi-disciplinary consilience approach to academic inquiry – a 'jumping together' of knowledge - to understand and address specific problems.
Williams has written for a wide range of academic and other public media, including the Korea Herald, China Daily, and Times Higher Education, and has appeared on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme, BBC World Service and TV News 24, Australian radio (ABC), and Vancouver Radio. He has been reported in The Independent, Daily Mail, The Scotsman, The Guardian, Indian Express, Suzhou Daily, Kuwait News, Yonhap News, The Chosun Ilbo, and Hansard, and has been an invited speaker for the World Health Organisation (WHO), United Nations University (UNU), UNEP/GIWEH (Geneva), UNESCO/UNU (Korea), UNESCO World Heritage Institute (China), National Assembly for Wales, and the House of Commons of the United Kingdom.

Famous quotes containing the word approach:
“Reality is a question of perspective; the further you get from the past, the more concrete and plausible it seems—but as you approach the present, it inevitably seems incredible.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1948)
“I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.”

“Let me approach at least, and touch thy hand.
[Samson:] Not for thy life, lest fierce remembrance wake
My sudden rage to tear thee joint by joint.
At distance I forgive thee, go with that;
Bewail thy falsehood, and the pious works
It hath brought forth to make thee memorable
Among illustrious women, faithful wives:
Cherish thy hast’n’d widowhood with the gold
Of Matrimonial treason: so farewel.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
