Exploring gender through education abroad programs: A graduate student case study

Abstract

This case study explores how graduate students who attended a short-term education abroad program understood gender as a result of participation in the trip. Findings reveal that students’ understandings of gender are influenced by in and out of class contexts. Implications for faculty and education abroad practitioners are shared to deepen and contextualize understanding and development of student participants.
