During Study Abroad Week 2021, some of our recent LGBTQIA+ identifying study abroad alumni recalled their preparation, experiences, and discoveries as an individual navigating their identity abroad. Panelists explored their experiences with race, gender, sexuality, and intersectionality in a global context and how they relate to foreign culture, politics, and language. We learned more about how students engaged with the LGBTQIA+ community while abroad and what they ultimately brought back home from those experiences.
