Written primarily for faculty and administrators in higher learning facilities, this handbook contains critical reviews of theory, practice and research for the development of global citizens as part of a study abroad program. Editor Lewin (Director of Study Abroad, U. of Connecticut) has collected articles on the philosophical and pedagogical challenges these institutions face such as ethics, infrastructure, finances, accessibility and quality control within the programs. Case studies from Georgia Tech, Emory U. and other learning institutions are used to illustrate such concepts as holistic learning, international service learning and new opportunities for first-generation college students.
