This book explores the integration of unique perspectives of BIPOC faculty and students into the undergraduate curriculum to enhance education abroad experiences, cultural awareness, and diversity and inclusion. It argues that education abroad programs not only provide academic and cultural enrichment but can also be a nexus of innovation. When approached creatively, interdisciplinary, and holistically, these programs offer opportunities to engage various constituencies and strategies for bolstering diversity, recruitment, retention, and graduation. Despite the perception of study abroad as a luxury for those with wealth, the editors and authors emphasize that global education should be considered a fundamental and integral part of higher education for all students in a global era.
