15th Annual Conference
Broadening the Circle of Education Abroad
March 27-29, 2019
Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel, Denver, CO
We find ourselves living in a time of growing fear of the unfamiliar, as we experience significant global political, economic, and demographic shifts. Simultaneously, international education is permeated by its own unique tensions. We encounter competing voices of students and parents, of faculty and staff, and of colleagues in the home office and on site. These voices are often joined by competing priorities when it comes to resources and budgets, institutional missions and goals, as well as issues of health, safety, security, and risk management.
The goal of The Forum’s 15th Annual Conference is to create a space for shared dialogue to explore the pressing issues of our field for today and for the future. As education evolves, as demographics shift, as resources are redirected, as technology advances, and the world changes, so must our field. Let’s explore these issues and listen to all voices at the table.
The 15th Annual Conference that affirmed one of our organization’s foundational principles: to provide a forum where every voice is welcome, and a forum where everyone belongs.
Critical Dialogues:
EDUCATION ABROAD AT COMMUNITY COLLEGES
Host: Community College of Denver
Sponsor: Tennessee Consortium for International Studies
Facilitators: Rosalind Latiner Raby (California Colleges for International Education); Tracey Bradley (Tennessee Consortium for International Studies/Pellissippi State Community College); Stacye Fraser Thompson (Jefferson State Community College)
Community Colleges are the backbone of the American higher education system and their international education opportunities support diverse academic disciplines and student populations. In many ways, they are at the forefront of new education abroad paradigms. Yet these institutions are often left out of the larger discussions regarding education abroad. What lessons and advice can community colleges offer the larger education abroad community? What are the unique challenges for community colleges in the field of education abroad? What additional resources do these institutions and students require to ensure that the experience is successful? This Critical Dialogue will explore these issues and more and welcomes individuals from institutions who are starting education abroad programming, those with decades old programs, and institutions in between, to join this important conversation.
EDUCATION ABROAD IN THE MAJORITY WORLD*/GLOBAL SOUTH
Host: Metropolitan State University of Denver
Facilitators: Alejandra Barahona (Universidad Veritas); Chris Deegan (University of Illinois at Chicago); Daniel Lumonya (SIT Study Abroad)
What is the Majority World*? What impressions does it evoke for us as professionals, and for students who choose to study there? What is our responsibility in preparing students to embark on their education abroad experiences? Once they arrive on-site, how do we engage them intentionally in their programs, and what happens when they return home? This Critical Dialogue will be facilitated by three colleagues, each with a unique point of view on education abroad in the Majority World. Join them to share your perspective on these and other provocative questions.
*Why do we use the term Majority World? As Marc Silver of NPR explains, it’s “a reminder to those of us in the West that we are but a very small minority on the globe.”

The opening plenary address was delivered by Wanayran Alvarez Angerer, a singer, cultural promoter, mother, woman’s rights activist, and world traveler. An ambassador of expressive therapies, the vast list of initiatives and social movements Wanny has her hand in includes Wanny Angerer in Moving Cultures, Cultural Stopovers, Wanny Angerer Music and Dance Therapy, Mujeres en las Artes, Ponchos Wanayran and countless more.
Wanny was born in Tegucigalpa, Honduras into a diverse community that traces its ethnicity to infusions of Spanish, Native Honduran, and African. From an early age this amalgamation of diverse culture had a huge effect on Wanny’s philosophy on life, cultivating in her an appreciation of global unity and the importance of the arts as a means of self-expression, and cultural connectivity. Wanny has traveled across Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean using arts and music to educate, unify and bring about positive change across the globe. In April 2018 Wanny was a guest for their Majesties the King and Queen of Sweden for the 10th Global Child Forum at the Stockholm Royal Palace. She is currently based in Bangkok Thailand.
