  In Roundtable Session: Broadening the Reach of Study Abroad Opportunities

Abstract

Black students are substantially less likely to study abroad compared to their white peers. This qualitative case study used focus groups with 24 Black students who traveled to China to examine how their social, familial, aspirational, and navigational capital influenced their decision to study abroad and their study abroad experiences.
