Study Abroad, BritainAbstract
Here I will attempt to untangle some of the issues that characterize what might be termed “British studies ” on American campuses. These issues are of interest to American international educators because Britain plays a prominent role in exchange activities of all kinds. Common campus assumptions in respect to Britain have significant effects on the way in which we think about study abroad in Britain for our students, about the nature of British academic institutions, and about the quality of transatlantic academic interactions.
