Study Abroad and the Quest for an Anti-Tourism Experience examines the intersections and contradictions of study abroad and tourism, investigating how current study abroad practices engage with the promises of global citizenship. Contributors draw on their substantial experience in designing and running study abroad programs.

With contributions from anthropologists and cultural theorists, Study Abroad and the Quest for an Anti-Tourism Experience examines the culture and cultural implications of student travel. Drawing on rich case studies from the Arctic to Africa, Asia to the Americas, this impressive array of experts focuses on the challenges and ethical implications of student engagement, service and volunteering, immersion, research in the field, local community engagement, and crafting a new generation of active, engaged global citizens. This volume is a must-read for students, practitioners, and scholars.
