“…In the brief on LGBTQ+ students (Bingham, Mitchell, et al, 2023) As may be clear from this synopsis, there is significant overlap of practices and research topics recommended for enhancing study abroad experiences for students from the five identity groups. The most prevalent overlap focuses on the need to shift from a deficit-to an asset-based, cross-stage approach.…”

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.

LGBTQIA Students in Higher Education

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

LGBTQIA+ international students in the U.S. have been considerably understudied, only recently gaining attention from scholars, indicating large knowledge gaps exist surrounding students studying beyond their home countries and holding multiple intersecting identities. Practitioners have limited awareness and guidance when supporting this population of students. In this chapter, the authors identify critical areas of intervention, investigating specifically those international students originating from non-Western locations, with particular emphasis on the MENA region and Muslim-majority countries, and who also identify within the broad spectrum of LGBTQIA+ identities. This chapter details specific frameworks for student support and concludes with tailored recommendations focused on individuality, collaboration across campus departments, and adopting a position of non-assumption when working directly with international students in a higher education setting.
