8:45 am – 10:30 am | Wednesday & Thursday, February 10-11

Mining a Global Learning Ecosystem to Support Intercultural Development

The goal of this workshop is to equip the participants with frameworks for the design and implementation of international experiences in higher education. The primary topics that will be addressed are the Global Learning Ecosystem (Gobbo & Hoff, 2020), which is a conceptual framework for the internationalization of higher education, and the examination of how the Global Learning Ecosystem—especially the Mobility Programs facet—informs the design of international experiences. This also includes an introduction to the Global Citizenship 1-2-3 model (Byker, Putman, & Medina, 2020; Putman & Byker, 2020), which is a three-step approach to educate undergraduate students in order to (1) learn, (2) think, (3) act in globally responsible ways. The participants will examine and discuss how the frameworks are adaptable to the design of international virtual experiences during this time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants will have the opportunity to use these frameworks as lenses for examining their own programs. This workshop is targeted to faculty and staff with experience leading and designing international programs.

Facilitators: Erik Jon Byker, Adriana L. Medina, S. Michael Putman, Joseph Hoff

Place-Based & Experiential Learning: Pedagogies of Place

How can we use places and spaces as laboratories or settings to develop critical thinking skills in our students? In this interactive workshop, we engage place-based learning as a complement to classroom work, providing fresh perspectives and heightened engagement to deepen the learning experience. Facilitators will present a typology of places and example activities, consider the ethics of experiential engagement, and plan for issues that may arise when taking learning beyond the classroom. Participants will be asked to complete a self-guided “field study” between days 1 and 2 of the workshop to engage in a personal exploration of place-based learning. Following a debrief, we will offer specific recommendations to rethink teaching and learning while maximizing global engagement through a critical awareness of place. This workshop is appropriate for faculty and staff involved in designing and leading intercultural programs and individuals interested and engaged in place-based learning.

Facilitators: Tina Mangieri and Anders Larsen

Reimagining Mentored Undergraduate Research in Global Contexts for Depth and Breadth

Although extensive research has examined students’ learning in international education, there has been less focus on integrating undergraduate research (UR) with global learning. This workshop will focus on two topics that emerged as highly salient in a recent think tank: 1) increased access to mentored, globally-focused UR for minoritized students, including students of color, women in STEM, international, first-generation, and students from lower resourced backgrounds (breadth) and 2) augmented intercultural learning outcomes for students engaged in mentored UR in global contexts (depth). After participating in this workshop, attendees will be able to identify current gaps in global UR programs, discuss best practices of mentoring, and evaluate strategies and generate ideas for enhancing the depth and breadth of global UR programs. Attendees will gain examples of global UR solutions, resources for intercultural learning and mentorship skill-building, and a plan for augmenting the depth (quality of learning, especially intercultural competence development) and breadth (scalability and accessibility) of virtual global UR at their institution. This workshop is appropriate for professionals at all levels of expertise.

Facilitators: Kris Acheson-Clair, Maureen Vandermaas-Peeler, Dawn Michele Whitehead

10:45 am – 12:30 pm | Wednesday & Thursday, February 10-11

Bias and Deep Cultural Learning: How Brain/Mind Sciences Can Inform Intercultural Education and Training

This workshop will explore how intercultural education can go beyond superficial notions of intercultural understanding and encourage deep culture learning. Drawing on emerging insights from brain/mind sciences, the argument will be shared that ethnocentrism and bias are “built in” to the architecture of our minds and that deep culture learning requires a recognition of the limitations of our own perceptions. A developmental learning model will be introduced to help participants better understand their own minds, explore ways in which our perceptions are shaped by culture, become aware of psychological resistance to foreign experiences, and identify patterns of deep culture. The model demonstrates how to avoid shallow approaches to intercultural understanding and go beyond superficial cultural generalizations. In addition to the learning model, participants will receive sample activities, a resource list, and a copy of the facilitator’s book, Language, Culture and the Embodied Mind. This workshop is appropriate for educators focused on intercultural teaching and training, study abroad professionals, and individuals interested in fostering deeper forms of intercultural understanding.

Facilitator: Joseph Shaules

Listen Up Y’all: The Intersection of Critical Reflection and Intercultural Listening for Social Change

Drawing attention to the need for embracing and employing critical self-reflection practices while listening across cultures is the focus of this workshop. Critical self-reflection is informed by critical race theory (CRT), which signals the need to give voice to the experiences of those who are marginalized and oppressed (Delgado & Stefancic, 2017). Fook and Askeland (2007) suggest that critical self-reflection is the process of exposing and challenging our inherent biases to increase anti-oppressive communication and behavior with others. Workshop facilitators suggest this is an important step towards creating social change. Listening is a crucial component of communication, yet application of critical self-reflection to the listening process is often ignored. We seek to address this gap by highlighting the intersection of critical self-reflection, listening across cultures, and social change. Should we remain committed to the transformative ideals of international education, we must consider ways for it to advance social change at home. This workshop is appropriate for professionals at the initial stages of planning international education experiences and for individuals who want to learn more about centering listening skills in intercultural communication and competence.

Facilitators: Monique Constance-Huggins, Rowie Kirby-Straker, Mu-Tzu Wu

Strategies for International Educators to Explore Power and Privilege Through Intercultural Learning

Developing student intercultural competence may actually mean less time focusing on national frameworks and more time growing cultural competence through addressing asymmetrical power relations, intersectionality, and equity in the context of individual, diverse student experiences at home and abroad. This workshop will explore the importance of approaching intercultural experiences through a DEI lens in order to both encourage intercultural competence for students, and to create reciprocal, mutually-adaptive, and beneficial relationships between students and their study communities. Given current social movements coinciding with students navigating these issues in unfamiliar cultural, and often virtual, contexts, it is imperative for intercultural competence development to be paired with an analysis of power, privilege, and multiculturalism. This workshop is appropriate for professionals interested in advancing their personal intercultural awareness, faculty and administrators designing or leading inbound/outbound programs, and community partners involved in guiding experiential learning in diverse cultural settings.

Connecting the Dots: Exploring the Intersections of Intercultural Learning, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and Social Justice

featuring Tara Harvey, PhD, and Terrence Harewood, PhD

List of Resources

Many assumptions, misconceptions, and questions exist about what intercultural learning is and isn’t, as well as how it intersects (or doesn’t) with social justice, and diversity, equity, and inclusion work. The WISE: Connect Symposium will explore the relationships between these areas, and consider how we can all take a more inclusive, equitable approach to intercultural learning. The speakers will introduce participants to a framework they use in their own work, which they believe addresses many of these issues.

Tara Harvey, PhD, founder of True North Intercultural LLC, combines her broad experience in international education (language learning, international student services, and study abroad) with deep understanding of intercultural teaching and learning to help faculty and staff better navigate cultural differences and facilitate intercultural learning (abroad and at home).

Tara has taught intercultural courses at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities and the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, and was Associate Faculty at the Summer Institute for Intercultural Communication (SIIC). As Academic Director of Intercultural Learning for CIEE (Council on International Educational Exchange), she developed the signature course, Intercultural Communication & Leadership, now taught at study centers around the world, and trained resident staff in how to effectively and appropriately facilitate intercultural learning.

Tara is an experienced Qualified Administrator of the IDI and a Senior Facilitator of the Personal Leadership methodology. She holds a Ph.D. in Comparative and International Development Education from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities.

Terrence Harewood, PhD, currently teaches undergraduate courses in multicultural education and social foundations at University of Indianapolis, where he is primarily assigned to teach undergraduate, master’s level, and principal preparation candidates. His primary role is in the preparation of interculturally competent preservice teachers and school leaders. In addition, he serves as a site team leader on external audits of various Mayor of Indianapolis Charter Schools, where he brings a cultural competency focus to the Charter School audits.

Terrence is the recipient of the coveted University of Indianapolis 2011 Teacher of the Year Award. More recently, he was awarded the prestigious 2018 IDI Intercultural Competence Award, for outstanding contributions to student and educator intercultural competence.

An IDI Qualified Administrator since 2006, Terrence has used the IDI to benchmark and measure the intercultural development growth for his courses during the past 13 years. He has also used the IDI in conducting extensive research in his classes and in assessing the impact of short-term study abroad courses on his campus. His primary research interest examines a link between teachers’ intercultural competence and the rates by which they refer minority students for discipline.

Terrence, a native of Barbados, West Indies, has also conducted extensive professional development using the IDI-Guided Development framework with many educational institutions and districts, ranging from K-12, higher education, and Charter Schools.
