The first “official” conversation I had as a new professor was not with a dean or a department head, but with the college’s study abroad office. I had, for a variety of reasons, never taken advantage of a study abroad program during my own academic journey. Perhaps because of that, I felt a deep, almost moral, obligation to ensure my own students didn’t miss out. I believed then, as I do now, that true education cannot be confined to a classroom; it must be lived. It requires stepping outside of…

In 2004, at the age of 26, I was at a crossroads in my life. I was heading back to the UK after two years teaching English in a Rwandan secondary school for the Voluntary Service Overseas.

I had gone out to Rwanda with the best of intentions - to help schoolgirls in a poverty-stricken country that was still recovering from a terrible genocide 10 years before. Many of the girls I taught had either suffered in the midst of the genocide or had been refugees in neighbouring countries. Whilst I defi…
