ABSTRACT
Where do we go from here? As discussed previously, this book is an act of activism. I hope it will influence practice in language education, international education, and the pre-departure ‘intercultural’ training programs that seem to focus mainly on reductive, stereotypical ‘knowing about’ other countries rather than awareness raising about power and strategies for intercultural engagement. I would also wish for universities who give students credit for ‘service learning’ to ask themselves some hard questions about just what learning, in intercultural terms, is going on for their students.
