Beyond Access: Making Immersion Experiences Relevant, Reflective, and a Path to Greater Consciousness
Access has long been a topic of discussion in international education as professionals determine how to attract more diverse student populations to international opportunities. While this is important, it is increasingly critical to develop inclusive practices in advising, serving, and supporting students from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds as their participation in international activities increases.
As we diversify student populations, we need program offerings and reflective experiences that invite students to live with greater social consciousness (from host engagement, relationships with one another, and lives back home). International opportunities can widen our gaze, seeing new realities while illuminating our identities and place in the world. This session explores how to integrate this type of identity development into programs...and what often happens when you do.
