US colleges, congregations, and seminaries promote immersion travel to bridge global distance, produce empathy, and increase global awareness. Empathy Beyond US Borders evaluates the potential of this civic action through close observations, interviews, and surveys, discussing the moralization of travel, organizational challenges, and the difficulty of feeling transformed but not knowing how to help.

US colleges, congregations, and seminaries are increasingly promoting immersion travel as a way to bridge global distance, produce empathy, and increase global awareness. However, does it truly achieve these goals? Drawing from a mixed-methods study of a progressive, religious immersion travel organization at the US-Mexico border, Empathy Beyond US Borders provides a broad sociological context for the rise of immersion travel as a form of transnational civic engagement. Gary J. Adler, Jr. closely follows immersion travelers as they meet undocumented immigrants, walk desert trails, and witness deportations. His observations are complemented by interviews and surveys to evaluate the potential of this civic action, while also developing theory about culture, empathy, and progressive religion in transnational civic life. This timely book explores the moralization of travel, the organizational challenges of transnational engagement, and the difficulty of feeling transformed but not knowing how to help.
