Theory and approaches

Summary

In this paper, we focus on one potential outcome of internationalizing the higher education curriculum through online intercultural service learning: namely, person-to-person peacebuilding. Through analysis of voices of US-based EAL tutors and their adult Afghan counterparts, we demonstrate person-to-person peacebuilding at the personal, relational, and structural dimensions.
