  • Introduction
  • The global and the national : does the global need the national, and if it does, what's wrong with that?
  • Culture : is it a homogeneous, static unit of difference?
  • Native speakers : do they really exist, and should students aim to speak like them?
  • Immersion : is it really about "living like a local"?
  • Host society and host family : who are they, and who shapes their lives?
  • Border crossing : do we instead construct borders through learning and volunteering?
  • Self-transformation : do assessing and talking about self-transformation involve power politics?
  • Conclusion and departure : new frameworks for study abroad.
