Sommario/riassunto

Documenting the American Student Abroad explores the documentary media cultures that shape our views of study abroad, drawing our attention to the broad range of stakeholders and documentary modes involved in defining the core values and practices of study abroad. Author Kelly Hankin shows how the institutional values of global citizenship, intercultural communication, and cultural immersion



emerge in contradictory ways through their representation.
