In this role, I guided students through immersive travel experiences that required adaptability, leadership, and reflection, helping them connect academic content to lived experiences while navigating unfamiliar environments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61be5c3be1537c659fa60d7c/acb62d8e-b92b-4938-83aa-db639c3a832c/IMG_0828.jpeg Global Learning - Global Learning Fellowship During the 2017-2018 school year, I received a Global Learning Fellowship from the NEA Foundation.

Introductory Summary: Short-term study abroad has become increasingly popular in the last few years. While some view this as a positive trend because it allows a broader audience of individuals to participate in study abroad, others are concerned that these trips are simply a form of tourism. This project works to explore the impact that short-term study abroad programs have on participating students, utilizing a variety of methods including participant observation to acquire data. Furthermore, the following thesis works to situate short-term study abroad within the transformation debate which pervades the field of study abroad, ultimately considering these programs through an ethnographic framework.
