Abstract

International education professionals have been persistent about the need to diversify and create equitable and inclusive US study abroad programs. However, issues of race and racism continue to permeate the experiences of students of color who study abroad. We argue that as a field, it may be time for study abroad to move beyond the broad rhetoric of diversity and inclusion and begin to embody and lead an antiracist agenda in international education.
