Often the answer is romance – the romance of landscapes, people, languages, the very sense of border-crossing – and longing for liberation, attraction to the unknown, yearning to make a difference. This volume explores the complicated and often fraught desires to study and volunteer abroad. In doing so, the book sheds light on how affect is managed by educators and mobilized by students and volunteers themselves, and how these structures of feeling relate to broader social and economic forces.Foreign studySocial aspectsVoluntarismSocial aspectsInternational educationSocial aspectsCollege studentsIntellectual lifeEducational anthropologyanthropology.civic.coming of age.cultural experiences.cultural.culture.economic forces.economics.education.educators.engaging.english language voluntourism.family.foreign travel.freedom.language.liberation.life changes.living abroad.making a difference.outcasts and outsiders.overseas travel.page turner.personal growth.political.self help.social forces.social issues.social science.students and teachers.tourism.travel writing.travel.volunteering.working abroad.Foreign studySocial aspects.VoluntarismSocial aspects.International educationSocial aspects.College studentsIntellectual life.Educational anthropology.370.1162Doerr Neriko Musha1967-Davis Taïeb HannahMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815394703321The romance of crossing borders3989540UNINA
