Written by scholars and educators based in Canada and the USA, this book articulates and implements a new cutting-edge theoretical framework entitled the disruptive learning narrative (DLN). The contributing authors analyze their experiences with international service learning students using DLN to uncover important lessons about race relations, power and privilege. They offer fresh insight on how DLN is useful in understanding and unpacking controversial teaching moments abroad and provide further reflections on how others can adapt the DLN framework to meet the contextual needs of their international educational experience. The chapters offer case studies and learning from international service learning and study abroad programs in Canada, China, Columbia, Cuba, Kenya, Tanzania, and the USA. The book provides essential knowledge and insights for educators who wish to address the inherent messiness and complexity of international experiences. It will help educators and researchers to better understand the controversial and sensitive issues of race relations, power and privilege dynamics.

Reviews for Disruptive Learning Narrative Framework: Analyzing Race, Power and Privilege in Post-Secondary International Service Learning

This rich collection interrogates what happens to teacher learners when they are faced with racialization, power and privilege in their international practicum experiences. It reminds us that transformational encounters are those that begin with a disruption of who we think we are and where we belong. Starting from this frame, new possibilities for deep learning can emerge. --Maggie Kubanyiova, Professor of Language Education, University of Leeds, UK If you are looking for an anthology that brings together a powerful set of essays by leading theorists of race, identity struggles, power, and privilege in education, under the new and exciting Disruptive Learning Narrative Framework, this is it! This must read book is a thought-provoking and intellectually stimulating transnational case study and analysis of racialized student teachers talking about and doing teaching at overseas institutions. --Quentin Williams, Associate Professor, Centre for Multilingualism and Diversities Research (CMDR), University of the Western Cape, South Africa
