Faculty/Staff Detail

Julie Ficarra, International Programs Office, had her article, “Extending Colonial Critiques Beyond Service Learning in the Global South: The Case of Florence, Italy” published in CAPA: The Global Education Network’s Occasional Publication #9, Empires of the Mind? (Post)Colonialism & Decolonizing Education Abroad. The article draws attention to the idea that unequal relations of power exist between visiting U.S. students and host communities, not only in the global south where students often engage in service learning, but in Europe where students are more often engaged in traditional classroom-based and experiential learning.
