“Call Me a Little Critical if You Will”

Abstract: This article examined a group of Latina students studying abroad. It highlighted ways in which identity manifests itself for Latinas in different contexts. It used counterstories, stories of historically marginalized groups in education. Primary findings were cultural dissonance; a reflection of past, present, and privilege; and the critical consumption of knowledge. Institutional suggestions to increase participation of students of color in study abroad programs and recommendation of effective practices are p… Show more

“…Given that white participants still constitute 68% of all study abroad participants in US higher education (Open Doors, 2022), the critical approach to study abroad urged by Sharma (2020), Kinginger (2009), and others necessarily includes a need for analyzing the role of race in this experience. A growing body of literature examines how minoritized students experience study abroad (e.g., Anya, 2017;Chang, 2017;Hughes & Popoola, 2022;Quan, 2018;Talburt & Stewart, 1999). This research not only emphasizes the lack of representation of students of color, but also offers insights into why minoritized students might either withdraw from or embrace target cultures while abroad.…”

“…Studies within a critical approach have used ethnographic methods to examine the in-country experiences of intersectionally marginalized study abroad participants and their motivations for participating in study abroad (Chang, 2017;Clay, 2022;M'Balia, 2013;Wick et al, 2019). For instance, M'Balia (2013) challenges how race and ethnicity are problematized in study abroad literature.…”

“…Researchers for students with disabilities call attention to the need for flexible instruction, accommodations, and inclusive curriculum (Hameister et al, 1999;Masterson-Algar et al, 2020;Prohn et al, 2016). Researchers studying the experiences of historically underrepresented students during short-term group programs conclude that programs need to prioritize inclusive practices and equip students with strategies for understanding social inequities in order to reduce the chance of marginalization while abroad (Chang, 2017;Johnstone et al, 2020). This recommendation is echoed by student development theorists Abes et al (2019), who explain that the dissonance so often attributed with fostering growth during study abroad might be debilitating for minoritized students.…”
