The Handbook of Practice and Research in Study Abroad Summary

The Handbook of Practice and Research in Study Abroad: Higher Education and the Quest for Global Citizenship by Ross Lewin

Co-published with the Association for American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U)

If we are all becoming global citizens, what then are our civic responsibilities? Colleges and universities across the United States have responded to this question by making the development of global citizens part of their core mission. A key strategy for realizing this goal is study abroad. After all, there may be no better way for students to acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required to become effective change-agents in international contexts.

The Handbook of Practice and Research in Study Abroad is a comprehensive survey of the field. Each chapter eloquently conveys an enthusiasm for study abroad alongside a critical assessment of the most up-to-date research, theory and practice. This contributed volume brings together expert academics, senior administrators, practitioners of study abroad, and policy makers from across the United States, Canada and other part of the world, who meticulously address the following questions:

What do we mean by global citizenship and global competence?

What are the philosophical, pedagogical and practical challenges facing institutions as they endeavor to create global citizens?

How is study abroad and global citizenship compatible with the role of the academy?

What are the institutional challenges to study abroad, including those related to ethics, infrastructure, finances, accessibility, and quality control?

Which study abroad programs can be called successful?

The Handbook of Practice and Research in Study Abroad is an indispensable reference volume for scholars, higher education faculty, study abroad professionals, policy makers, and the academic libraries that serve these audiences. It is also appropriate for a wide range of courses in Higher Education Master's and Ph.D. Programs.

The Handbook of Practice and Research in Study Abroad Reviews

Colleges, universities, and community colleges play an important role in educating students who can cross global borders, navigate global power structures, and work collaboratively on global problems. This handbook offers a comprehensive overview of this burgeoning area of educational innovation and practice, including important theoretical insights and practical advice on how to translate theory into successful programs. With global learning now essential, the contributors to this volume have provided an exceptionally useful resource as higher education works to prepare students for global citizenship.

Carol Geary Schneider, President, Association of American Colleges and Universities

Study abroad has unusually positive effects on college success. The contributors to this volume persuasively argue that everything possible be done to increase the number of students who take advantage of this opportunity, especially those first in their families to attend college and those from historically underrepresented backgrounds.

George D. Kuh, Chancellor's Professor and Director, Indiana University Center for Postsecondary Research

The contributors to this handbook candidly and critically assess the extent to which higher education is putting in place purposeful study abroad opportunities for students. They also make a compelling and inspiring case for establishing a meaningful vision for study abroad within the context of an institution's mission.

Christopher J. Viers, Associate Vice President for International Services, Office of the Vice President for International Affairs, Indiana University

Dennis Gregory: Old Dominion University, Dept. of Education Leadership.

aEUROoeI recommend the book for publication. I believe that it will be a valuable resource for scholars and students alike. It makes a clarion call for the improvement, increase and democratization of study abroad while making provocative proposals which will raise the eyebrows and perhaps open the minds of administrators in American colleges and universities. Who know, perhaps even a few government officials will read it and slap their foreheads and say, aEUROoewhy didnaEURO (TM)t I think of thataEURO.

I would say that is clearly on the leading edge of the work in this field. Study abroad is a changing, growing and increasingly more challenging field. This book contains some ideas and programs which, if initiated on campuses, could rapidly increase change. Cynic that I am, however, I know that money drives much and policy also drives much. Unless the federal government gets more behind these issues nothing we write or find will matter. After September 11, we have to open our bunkers and look at the world around us with a non-jaundiced eye and seek to understand the rest of the world. This book can help us to do that.

Philip Hosay : Professor of International Education, NYU

The material is timely, given the rapid expansion of efforts to internationalize colleges and universities in the US, and, as far as I know, there is no other analytical book of this sort that has taken a scholarly approach to the justification for study abroad programs, ways of expanding these programs, and the obstacles to their expansion. The format and level of writing is also satisfactory.

aEUROoeI would use this book in a Approaches to Study Abroad courseaEURO

Brian Whalen: Dickinson College (Areas of speciality study abroad and international education)

This book is a revelation. It is refreshing to see the content of study abroad treated in such a thorough fashionaEURO

aEUROoeThere is not a book of this type in the field and this will fill that void. And the authors involved are perfect for the marketaEURO


Certainly, faculty and administrators involved in study abroad or in globalization of the curriculum will find this book invaluable. However, the themes addressed throughout are so fundamental to the heart of mission and identity that the volume will likely be useful to any educator thinking about his or her institution's engagement with the global community.-Teaching Theology & Religion

This is an excellent book for those of us involved in international education. The wealth of information and myriad references to programs in diverse fields reflect the dynamic reality of current efforts across a broad range of institutions-a contribution that may ultimately be more useful than a consensus definition of global citizenship.-Review of Higher Education
