BCRW Conference Room, Milstein 614
Coming on the heels of the MMUF Distinguished Lecture with Dr. Christopher Loperena, join Neriko Doerr and Devin Walker for a lunchtime conversation on the politics, challenges, and best practices associated with crafting ethical student travel experiences for the 21st century.
This event is hosted by BCRW’s Africana Routes, Africana Migrations faculty working group convened by Abosede George and Tamara J. Walker, who will also be moderating the conversation. For the past two years, the group has been creating spaces for knowledge sharing on the intersections of gender, race, travel, ethics, and institutional practice across the Barnard community and with external participants. Building on Doerr’s prescriptions in Transforming Study Abroad: A Handbook and Walker’s critical observations in Historically Underrepresented Faculty and Students in Education Abroad: Wandering Where we Belong, George and Walker are advancing towards a framework that interrogates and improves existing modes of international engagement within the curriculum and beyond.
Lunch will be provided. The event is free and open to the public. Registration is required.
