This book explores unique and out-of-the-box faculty-led student travel, whether abroad or domestically. Contributors argue in favor of unique and innovative forms of undergraduate student travel, travel that eschews the all-too-ubiquitous pre-packaged and overpriced programs that remain prevalent.

Classroom on the Road: Designing, Teaching, and Theorizing Out-of-the-Box Faculty-Led Student Travel explores real-world, out-of-the-box examples of faculty-led student travel that challenge the dominant paradigms of conventional tourism. Contributors share teaching methods that can be adapted for a variety of university travel scenarios and encourage students to be responsible and thoughtful members of the global community who seek out valuable experiences in other cultures to go beyond the standard consumption of touristy clichés. Furthermore, this book contributes to existing discourse about travel by going beyond being “just” a tourist to become a person who impacts—and is impacted by—other cultures and the commensurate politics of place. Contributors discuss issues of cultural imperialism, economic disparity, and responsible travel that can help protect unique destinations from the homogenizing effects of global capitalism, encouraging respectful and responsible travel.

Jeff Birkenstein is professor of English at Saint Martin’s University. Irina Gendelman is professor of communication studies at Saint Martin’s University.
