Book excerpt: Adriana, a blogger and educator, was embarrassed when she got lost in Madrid during the first two days of her study abroad program. She immediately wanted to book a flight home, but couldn't as she was a first-generation student with no extra money. Yet, that moment defined her life's journey. She discovered a new perspective to life: humility and global citizenry. Blown away by the rewarding experience, she devoted her personal and professional development to connecting purposefully to each and every country and city. She recognized that many first-time, underrepresented college students are not aware of the resources or opportunities afforded to them through study abroad. This guide will help change that.

Book Synopsis A Mixed-methods Study of the Lived Experiences of African Americans who Studied Abroad by : Sabrina Teresa Prioleau
Download or read book A Mixed-methods Study of the Lived Experiences of African Americans who Studied Abroad written by Sabrina Teresa Prioleau and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation explores the lived experiences of African American college students and recent graduates who studied abroad. These students’ experiences were examined to determine reasons for the gap between the numbers of African American and Caucasian students who study abroad. The researcher conducted a mixed-methods study using a survey that included yes/no, Likert scale, and open-ended questions. Twenty-six students completed the survey. The following themes emerged from some of the responses: students felt inadequately prepared financially and culturally, some of them experienced isolation and homesickness, racism and academic challenges. There were positive themes as well, including a sense of confidence as a result of studying abroad, strengthened foreign language skills, and global connections. While the majority of the participants experienced challenges, most of them said they would study abroad again and all but one of them completed their program. Study findings suggest that removing the barriers listed would result in more positive study abroad experiences for African American students.

Book Synopsis Rare But There by : Tasha Yvette Willis
Download or read book Rare But There written by Tasha Yvette Willis and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: As institutions of higher education strive to prepare global ready graduates, study abroad is on the rise at both 2- and 4-year campuses. Study abroad is also identified as a high impact program that can lead to increased engagement and student success. However, research has centered on the experiences of White, 4-year students. Literature is rare on the experiences of community college students and students of color. This study explores an underrepresented and understudied student population: Black female community college students who study abroad. Using an intersectional lens, this study provides critical insight into participant experiences and outcomes. Research questions inquired about ethnic and racial identity development outcomes, but also broadened the scope of research by including intercultural growth, global identity, and other identity development outcomes. This qualitative inquiry utilized 19 open-ended interviews to explore the experiences of African American female students who studied abroad on community college programs in Africa and Europe from 2005-2011. At the time of their study abroad in Africa, the Mediterranean, or the British Isles, participants' ages ranged from 19-62. Five themes offer insight into the realities of being Black women studying in different regions of the world: PreDeparture Factors, Study Abroad Context, Peer Roles, Managing Racism, and Outcomes. Though their outcomes were similar to those previously documented for 4-year White students, participants also faced racial and gender microaggressions from their host cultures and/or their U.S. travel peers in each of the three regions. This study centers the experiences of a marginalized group while widening the scope and sharpening the focus of research. Findings shed light on the complex interplay of race, ethnicity, and gender, and other areas of social diversity for Black women abroad, underscoring that campus climate extends beyond U.S. campus boarders. Implications and recommendations for practice include ways to facilitate inclusive climates in study abroad, support students in facing microaggressions, and build on peer bonds to increase campus engagement and academic success. Recommendations to increase access and equity in study abroad by reducing transfer and financial aid barriers are also discussed, as are areas for future research.

Download or read book The Pursuit of Happiness written by Bianca C. Williams and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Pursuit of Happiness Bianca C. Williams traces the experiences of African American women as they travel to Jamaica, where they address the perils and disappointments of American racism by looking for intimacy, happiness, and a connection to their racial identities. Through their encounters with Jamaican online communities and their participation in trips organized by Girlfriend Tours International, the women construct notions of racial, sexual, and emotional belonging by forming relationships with Jamaican men and other "girlfriends." These relationships allow the women to exercise agency and find happiness in ways that resist the damaging intersections of racism and patriarchy in the United States. However, while the women require a spiritual and virtual connection to Jamaica in order to live happily in the United States, their notion of happiness relies on travel, which requires leveraging their national privilege as American citizens. Williams's theorization of "emotional transnationalism" and the construction of affect across diasporic distance attends to the connections between race, gender, and affect while highlighting how affective relationships mark nationalized and gendered power differentials within the African diaspora.

Book Synopsis Improving African American College Students' Participation in Study Abroad by : Alena Cheppel
Download or read book Improving African American College Students' Participation in Study Abroad written by Alena Cheppel and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the major roles of colleges and universities is the preparation of the workforce for the global economy (Metzger, 2006). Regardless of efforts to diversify the study abroad population and increase the participation rate of minority students, Caucasians remain the largest group represented at 83% for the past 10 years (Current Trends in US Study Abroad and the Impact of Strategic Diversity Initiatives, 2007). In 2009/10, only 4.7% of all study abroad college students were African American, 6.4% were Hispanic American, and 0.5% were Native American (Institute for International Education, 2012). Reasons for these low percentages of study abroad participation among minority students have not been adequately investigated, nor are there a number of significant studies on the decision making process of minority college students who choose to participate in study abroad programs. Using Peterson's (2003) Model of the Decision to Study Abroad, 20 African American undergraduate college students from a university in north east Maryland who already engaged in study abroad programs were interviewed to identify motivations and experiences for participation in study abroad programs. Based on Moustakas' (1994) modification of van Kaam's phenomenological methodology data were analyzed using NVivo 9 software. Twelve themes of significant importance for decision making emerged. Students also provided a wealth of information and creative suggestions for improving African American participation in Study Abroad. Increasing opportunities to study aboard is important in educating global citizens able to adapt quickly to their changing environments.

Download or read book Exploring the Perceptions of Study Abroad Among Black Undergraduates at Historically Black Colleges and Universities written by Nykia D. Gaines and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International education helps students become more engaged within the United States and abroad. Black undergraduates continue to be underrepresented in study abroad despite two decades of increased enrollment by Black students in higher education in the United States. This study had three purposes: (1) to explore how Black undergraduates attending historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) perceived study abroad programs, (2) to understand how individual and institutional characteristics related to the desire of Black undergraduates at HBCUs to study abroad, and (3) to determine to what degree individual and institutional variables predicted Black undergraduates' desire to participate in study abroad.
