Welcome to my Home Page!   Bienvenue sur ma page d'accueil !    ¡Bienvenido!   

Después de casi 30 años trabajando para los Programas Interculturales de AFS, estoy estableciendo una consultoría independiente, trabajando con una amplia gama de gente y de instituciones a nivel mundial para promover el aprendizaje intercultural.
 
Si eres un estudiante de intercambio (o esperas ser uno), padre, familia anfitriona, educador, proveedor de programas de intercambio, colega profesional o amigo, me dará mucho placer compartir ideas e información contigo en esta página Web. ¡Espero que podamos trabajar juntos en el futuro!

About me:

Like many people in international education, my interest in other countries and cultures goes back to my childhood, especially to the summer I spent as an exchange student in Strasbourg, France where I lived day-to-day with a French family, speaking French exclusively. I came to realize how different each place in the world can be, and how fascinating! Quite naturally, I studied geography, earning a PhD from Syracuse University in 1985. Also, quite naturally, I found myself working for 29 years for AFS Intercultural Programs. There I developed a global education framework with the goal not only of supporting individual exchange students, but of actually bringing the richness of intercultural learning to the home and host community.

Currently, along with my research and writing, I am working on several projects that enhance study abroad and living abroad experiences, and working with other international educators and interculturalists to strengthen research in this area.

 I’m located in Brooklyn, NewYork, USA, working from my office in the home I share with my husband, Kevin Roth.
