Intersectionality, Identity, & Global Education: Exploring The Complexities

How might one’s social identities influence their global education experience and cross-cultural journey abroad? In what ways does the intersections of one’s social, personal, and professional identities interact with the local contexts and communities in which they engage? For professionals, how do their identities impact the ways they interact with students, across the spectrum of support provided? How do organizational structure, hiring & retention practices, and work culture reflect a commitment to diverse expressions of identity in our work? What are models and best practices for promoting social justice, human rights, peace, civic engagement, and cultural diversity abroad?
