    Debjani Chakravarty, Kasi Good et al.ARTICLEEquity & Excellence in Education2020

    Using critical discourse analysis, we research how study abroad programs within U.S. universities create and reinforce discourses on the nature of higher education, citizenship, socioeconomic equity, and globalization.
