Chapter 1: Finding our Framework

The authors examine the role short-term study abroad has played in higher education and traditional approaches taken to develop and implement study abroad excursions. They offer explanations for the missteps related to developing and implementing short-term study abroad trips, which have ranged from imperialism and greed to ill-conceived planning and poorly regulated Christian impulses (Corbett & Fikkert, 2012). Social theories (e.g., Blau, 1965; Foucault, 1980; Freire, 1970) are examined to offer an alternative and perhaps more transcendent explanation for the ineffectual attempts to help. Case scenarios, assignments, and exercises are utilized throughout to foster learning.
