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

Après une expérience de 30 ans avec les programmes d’échanges d’AFS, je me suis maintenant établie comme conseillère interculturelle, travaillant avec une variété d'individus et d'institutions dans le monde entier, avec pour but de promouvoir l’apprentissage interculturel.
 
Si vous êtes un étudiant étranger (ou si vous souhaitez partir a l'étranger), ou si vous êtes parent, famille d’accueil, professeur, fournisseur d’échanges, collègue ou ami, je serais très heureuse de partager mes idées et mon expérience avec vous. N'hésitez pas à me contacter.

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.
