This is a call for papers to be presented at the 2008 American Association of Geographers (April 13-15 2008) in Boston. We are putting together a panel on study abroad, focusing particularly on the ideological and practical dimensions of teaching and learning in a foreign environment. We would like to include participants with a range of study abroad experiences. We are also interested in discussing a wide range of study abroad approaches, including “one time� visits to a site, or study abroad programs involving more than one destination. Other approaches could include programs that have worked to develop host communities, either by building infrastructure, returning to a community annually, and/or bringing members of host communities back to the United States. This panel will be an opportunity to consider what works and what doesn't at a practical level, and also possibly to forge a common vision of goals for a study abroad course.
