Over the past decade the original aim of international education to foster intercultural understanding has become linked with the aims of international studies to enhance our knowledge of the world, and in particular, the ways in which new knowledge is created through non-western epistemologies and cultural perspectives. This paper seeks to situate the emerging discourse and initiatives around global learning in an understanding of the transformation potential of collaborative inquiry and pedagogy for U.S. higher education.

This case study describes SIT Study Abroad programs as a form of community-based education: integrating community members as mentors, educators and part of the local "faculty". This has profound implications in terms of academic content, knowledge generation, who benefits from the projects and accumulated knowledge gained from field service, and the global citizen responsibilities of the home university in terms of fair intellectual property and labor.

This presentation offers perspectives on ethnography as pedagogy for cultural learning through demonstration of ethnographic inquiry, discussion of pre-departure preparation for field work, and faculty reflections on students' experiential learning. Rebecca Hovey International Education Pedagogy http://works.bepress.com/rebecca_hovey/5 http://works.bepress.com/rebecca_hovey/5 Tue, 25 Nov 2008 11:38:56 PST This chapter addresses the need for study abroad programs that prepare students for moral responsibility and democratic civic engagement in an increasingly globalized world. We examine how notions of citizenship, democratic education, and civic engagement can be expanded to a global knowledge community beyond the borders of home campuses and countries. This entails recognition of a global ecology of learning based on reciprocity, recognition of civic identities, and responsibility for one's actions and representations abroad. We explore the literature on global citizenship associated with study abroad and global civil society in order to understand how the norms, affiliations and markers of citizenship are being redefined. We conclude with a proposal that responsible, high road study abroad entails preparing students as global citizen diplomats, representing their own culture while developing the intercultural awareness to comprehend, respect, and represent the perspectives of another culture. Rebecca Hovey International Education Global Citizenship http://works.bepress.com/rebecca_hovey/4 http://works.bepress.com/rebecca_hovey/4 Tue, 25 Nov 2008 11:29:41 PST International education and study abroad change the boundaries of who is included in the community of US higher education as more and more colleges and universities incorporate mission statements with aspirations of global citizenship. I argue that this changing frame of the community, moral purpose and appreciation of different worldviews has profound and significant implications for the academic and professional disciplines that constitute the academy. The impact of study abroad can be - and perhaps with a new generation of scholars will be - an epistemological shift within the disciplines to include both new modes of knowledge acquisition as well as new understandings of global realities.

Critical pedagogy offers a theoretical framework in which we can imagine students and teachers in dialogue with knowing subjects other cultures and locations with the aim of creating a global community of knowledge production.

This chapter in the NAFSA guide covers academic, institutional and operational aspects of "whole world study". J. L.
