“…Research on LGBTQ+ students is emerging. Bingham et al (2023) identified 13 study abroad articles in a recently published systematic literature review; these studies have also been reviewed in the research component of this brief. From the empirical work considered in the research brief, Bryant and Soria (2015) identified that LGBTQ+ students are more likely to study abroad than their heterosexual peers.…”

“…A key takeaway from the systemic review of the 13 study abroad articles identified by Bingham et al (2023) is a deeper understanding of the participation rates of LGBTQ+ students in study abroad and which demographic groups were underrepresented in these studies. For study abroad practitioners, understanding these trends and gaps in the research is an important foundation for supporting LGBTQ+ students abroad.…”

“…The results of a 2015 study suggest that LGBTQ+ students are more likely than heterosexual and cisgender students to participate in study abroad opportunities in several areas (Bryant & Soria, 2015). Despite the number of LGBTQ+ students studying abroad, the research on their experiences is limited (Bingham et al, 2023;Brunsting, Chiles, et al, 2023). Existing research 30 provides practitioners with insights on the challenges LGBTQ+ students may face, including homophobia and transphobia, navigating if and when to "come out" and to whom, and gendered language.…”

Despite significant and increasing numbers of students studying internationally, there are few data about the experiences of study abroad for various marginalized students, including transgender and gender expansive (TGE) students. Therefore, 15 TGE adults from the United States were interviewed about navigating gender and culture during undergraduate study abroad programs. Interviews were analyzed using consensual qualitative research (CQR). Participants shared how they benefited from international study and navigated intersecting social identities, including gender, which was complex and nuanced. They discussed how they actively managed issues of disclosure and its consequences, explored their identities and the influence of their social setting, and dealt with anticipated, deliberate, and unintentional harm from others. Relationships and community were priorities for participants when studying internationally; they explained how they determined whether to invest in relationships or not. Participants also clarified what their relationships looked like during study abroad, as well as unique considerations that arose from their marginalized identities. These findings can help inform the development of more inclusive, safe, and satisfying study abroad experiences for all students, especially TGE individuals; implications for future research and study abroad interventions are provided.

A team of practitioners, researchers, and scholar-practitioners collaborated to spotlight successes and to enhance areas for improvement in study abroad practices through interaction with research. The joint effort focused on study abroad students from five identity groups for which the research base was large enough to permit generation of research-to-practice briefs. Researchers first reviewed studies from the Academic Research on Education Abroad (AREA) Database and summarized research on these students’ study abroad experiences and outcomes. Practitioners—most of them with lived experience as a member of the identity group—drew on their expertise in interpreting the relevance to practice of summarized research findings and in recommending better study abroad practices. The resulting five research-to-practice briefs focus on the experiences and outcomes of five student identity groups: African American and Black students, Asian and Asian American students, first-generation students, Hispanic and Latinx students, and LGBTQ+ students. Altogether, these briefs signify working in teams of both researchers and practitioners, and they highlight some of the outstanding gaps in study abroad research and practice concerning the student groups in focus. Abstract in Spanish Un equipo de profesionales y académicos colaboró para destacar los éxitos e identificar las áreas de mejora en las prácticas de estudios en el extranjero a través de la interacción con la investigación. El esfuerzo colaborativo se centró en la investigación ya publicada sobre estudiantes de estudios en el extranjero que provienen de cinco grupos de identidad sobre los cuales hay una base de investigación suficientemente grande para facilitar la creación de resúmenes de cómo aplicar la investigación a la práctica. Primero, los investigadores revisaron estudios incluidos en la base de datos Academic Research on Education Abroad (AREA) y resumieron la investigación sobre las experiencias de estudios en el extranjero y los resultados de participación de estos estudiantes. Luego los practicantes profesionales del campo de educación internacional–la mayoría de ellos con experiencia vivida como parte del grupo de identidad sobre el cual estaban escribiendo–aprovecharon de su experiencia para interpretar la relevancia que los resultados de la investigación y recomendar mejores prácticas. Los cinco resúmenes de investigación aplicada a la práctica que resultan se enfocan en las experiencias y aprendizajes de cinco grupos de identidad: los estudiantes negros o afro-americanos, los estudiantes asiatícos o asiático-americanos, los estudiantes de primera generación, los estudiantes hispanos o latinxs, y los estudiantes LGBTQ+. Juntos, estos resúmenes representan el trabajo colaborativo entre investigadores y profesionales y destacan algunas de las brechas sobresalientes en la investigación y la práctica de estudios en el extranjero con respecto a los grupos de estudiantes en cuestión.
