Abstract:
This article illustrates how collegiate leadership study abroad experiences are enhanced with critical frameworks. The authors offer strategies to apply critical lenses such as liberatory, culturally relevant, and anti-racist approaches to study abroad curricular and co-curricular design. The authors emphasize the essential role of embedding critical frameworks within leadership study abroad programs enabling students to interpret their experiences meaningfully and make intentional, informed decisions that foster change-both during their time abroad and upon returning to their home communities.
