Sometimes the World Will Break Your Heart: Identity-Related Critical Incident Response and Reflective Learning
What happens when a student has a negative experience abroad related to personal identity? Is this a common occurrence? What resources are available to help support students through social discrimination abroad? This session will address these issues from a variety of angles: from the perspective of a university crisis responder for education abroad programs; from student case studies of personal identity impacting a global experience; and from a newly developed Diversity Abroad Climate Survey regarding student identity and the study abroad experience. Participants will be equipped with new information about tools and resources to support students.
