4.9/5 (18949 ratings)

Description:For over 100 years, we have used geographically marked terms like distant lands, overseas study, education abroad, and international education to mark a global education. The learning models assembled in this volume help us to see that the global is no longer somewhere out there; it is right here, at our doorstep, touching all of our lives, and inviting a new generation of 'rooted cosmopolitans' to help create the kind of world we want and need." - Richard Slimbach, Azusa Pacific University Simply put, the chapters in this volume are interesting and important. They are grounded in existing programs, giving us real examples of what is possible. And they are theoretically challenging, raising questions about the construction of key concepts in ways that could and should encourage us to examine institutional practices. As a volume, there is clearly a call to embrace domestic Study Away as a legitimate practice and strategy that should be more central to higher education, especially our efforts at internationalization. Count me in as one college president who is ready to shift his thinking. - Adam Weinberg, President, Denison UniversityThe position taken in this volume is that domestic off-campus study can be just as powerful a transformative learning experience as study overseas, and that domestic programs can equally expand students horizons, their knowledge of global issues and processes, their familiarity and experience with cultural diversity, their intercultural skills, and sense of citizenship.This book presents both the rationale for and examples of study away, an inclusive concept that embraces study abroad while advocating for a wide variety of domestic study programs, including community-based education programs that employ academic service-learning and internships.With the growing diversification regionally, demographically, culturally, and socio-economically of developed economies such as the US, the local is potentially a doorstep to the planet and presents opportunities for global learning. Moreover, study away programs can address many of the problematic issues associated with study abroad, such as access, finance, participation, health and safety, and faculty support. Between lower costs, the potential to increase the participation of student cohorts typically under-represented in study abroad, the lowering of language barriers, and the engagement of faculty whose disciplines focus on domestic issues, study at home can greatly expand the reach of global learning.The book is intended for study abroad professionals, multicultural educators, student affairs professionals, alternative spring break directors, and higher education administrators concerned about affordably expanding global education opportunities.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
