ABSTRACT

Research on Latinx students studying abroad is minimal. As such, our primary research question for this study was: What are the identity-oriented experiences of Latinx students of color on a short-term study abroad program? We use a decolonial theoretical perspective to frame our study. The overarching assertion of a decolonial journey of conocimiento is evidenced in the students’ experiences related to their feeling on the outside and to rebraiding and recasting their identities. Their journeys included personal shifts and transformations where the students were able to grapple with feelings of being an outsider and ultimately, leaned more heavily into their feelings of connection to their language, culture and identity. The findings from our study have implications to consider when taking students of color abroad. In addition, these implications can also benefit teachers in the U.S. context who work with students of color of all backgrounds, Latinx/Transnational students or English Language Learners. In conclusion, we believe that the internal transformations and identity work with which our students engaged were part of the larger decolonial process.

我已经足够了:Conocimiento 的非殖民之旅

摘要

对出国留学的拉丁裔学生的研究很少。因此,我们这项研究的主要研究问题是:拉丁裔有色人种学生在短期出国留学项目中的身份导向经历是什么?我们使用非殖民理论视角来构建我们的研究。Conocimiento 的非殖民之旅的总体主张学生的经历证明了这一点,这些经历与他们的外部感受以及重新编织和重塑他们的身份有关。他们的旅程包括个人的转变和转变,学生们能够应对作为局外人的感觉,并最终更加倾向于与自己的语言、文化和身份的联系。我们的研究结果对于带有色人种学生出国留学时需要考虑的意义。此外,这些影响也有利于在美国与各种背景的有色人种学生、拉丁裔/跨国学生或英语学习者一起工作的教师。总之,我们相信我们的学生所从事的内部转变和身份认同工作是更大的非殖民化进程的一部分。
