q2 · i? · review · r2

Within the social change and social justice subgroup, the review reports Baxter's (2018) argument that how individuals gain access to social change values remains a "black box" of understanding how learning abroad occurs. The review adds that further study of the relationship between overseas education and home-country social change is warranted.

""the assumption that international study inevitably contributes to the competencies associated with leading social change is challenged by research on study abroad and service-learning that indicate exposure alone does not guarantee gains in related skills and proficiencies""
