Description

Product Description 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. For more information, check out this presentation by Michael A. Di Giovine, coeditor of Study Abroad and the Quest for an Anti-Tourism Experience, or this podcast episode. Review International educators have been loathe to draw comparisons of education abroad with tourism, often countering criticisms with justifications of the academic and transformative nature of education abroad. Yet, language such as "trips", "travel" and "tours" is pervasive in marketing campaigns that promote programming to students. This timely volume, grounded in anthropology and cultural studies, takes readers on a quest to better understand the unique promises of education abroad against the structures and imaginaries of tourism. As the COVID-19 pandemic propels us into a new era of higher education, this volume will be useful to those eager to reshape the next generation of education abroad.--Anthony C. Ogden, University of Wyoming (This edited collection) draws on a range of abstract and complex concepts but does so in an assured and clear way. It makes the complex simple, but never simplistic. . . Conceptually it draws on themes from anthropology and the interdisciplinary field of tourism studies and publications on service learning and study abroad. As such, the book . . . (will) be a significant addition to the literature.--Jim Butcher, Canterbury Christ Church University This book is an innovative text contrasting tourism and anti-tourism in subtle and unexpected ways. It was a mind-blowing book for me!--Edward M. Bruner, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne About the Author Michael A. Di Giovine is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at West Chester University of Pennsylvania, USA. His research focuses on the anthropology of tourism and hospitality, mobilities, heritage studies, and religious tourism and pilgrimage. He is the author of The Heritage-scape: UNESCO, World Heritage, and Tourism (2009).
